Pretty close for Obama, all his talk related to that little area inhabited by people with various but similar funny accents in their English.

Obama is a glib parrot.

He’s completely lost without his teleprompter.

This should silence anyone who claims Obama is leading from behind this Biden Administration. He clearly was not up for leadership.

Turns out that Obama is a bit cheap when he has to spend his own money on speech writers.

Didn’t Obama get $1 million to show up ?

He always speaks like a person who does NOT read

He repeats things he's heard and makes some kind of association with them to his politics. Always a dangerous thing to do

I learned in grade school to never use a word you can't spell, pronounce or define. This goes double for mouthing ideas, too.

I used to work with a girl like that. She was dumb as dirt and also ‘unread’. If she heard about something 5 minutes age, she was the new global authority on it. "If you do not read, you are no better than a person who cannot read." M. Twain
