@ruaqtpi2:

Hey, I can do it too!! Maybe I should run for POTUS. Instead of “a chicken in every pot,” how about “More of your own money in your own pocket?” Catchy enough?

Good idea and, yes, it is catchy enough, downright brilliant, imho! Bet you wouldn’t need a teleprompter to cite what you write, either.

First, promise you won’t let the FL run around like this:

Or, how about journalism? There’s quite a few in that field I wish you could replace, twood be nice. When you think about it, there are enough qualified, competent and studied people in here that could replace most of the WH press corp.

Oh, I agree, Obama is a real bore, in at least two senses of the word:

1.) bore – a device for creating a hole; a drill.

Example: Obama, as the world’s largest bore, is preparing to drill large holes into the nation’s banks in an attempt to confiscate the excess wealth of “the rich”, saying that the Rich need to start paying their “fair share” of taxes in order to fund his New New Deal program of social equality and wealth distribution.

2.) bore – a tedious person.

Example: United States of America’s President Barack Obama may be able to add “Greatest Bore of All Time” to the list of titles and monikers given to him by his adoring fans and his critical opponents. According to one of the attendees at a recent post-election campaign stop:

Barack H. Obama’s long-winded and self-aggrandizing messianic blither is the equal of the snake-oil salesman’s pitch and testimonial, replete with the rhythm and rhyme of the gods’ own missives, but with the substance of a dried-up ink well. He would be the modern day Narcissus, if only he would favor us all enough so as to fall into the pool of his own reflection and, once determined to have been self-exterminated, allow us to return to our labors to right the wrongs he has perpetrated upon us, our children, and our future generations as of yet unimagined.

From Missy’s article:

Iain Martin’s column, read it all…..spot on! Comments are fun too.

Barack Obama really does go on a bit

Isn’t it time for him to go home yet? It is good, in theory, that the new President of the United States is taking so much time to tour Europe. He arrived in London last Tuesday, has been to Strasbourg, Prague yesterday and now he’s off to Turkey. It shows, I suppose, that he cares about the outside world and that is ‘A Good Thing’. But his long stay means that we are hearing rather a lot from him, way too much in fact.

His speeches have long under-delivered, usually leaving a faintly empty sensation in this listener even though I welcomed, moderately, his victory last year as offering the possibility of a fresh start and a boost to confidence.

Yet, we are told that he is a great orator and in one way he certainly is. He does have a preternatural calm in the spotlight and a mastery of the cadences we associate with the notable speakers in US history – such as JFK and MLK. But beyond that, am I alone in finding him increasingly to be something of a bore?

Very nice! You know, he does use ghost writers, maybe you can recoup some of the taxes he and congress are fixing to steal from you.

Has there ever been another President who spent his first 2+ months in office bashing the previous President in EVERY SINGLE public appearance that he made? I don’t remember G.W. Bush wasting his time talking about Clinton. I don’t remember Clinton wasting his time talking about G.H.W. Bush. Reagan? Even Carter? Will Obama ever take any responsibility for his own Presidency? Or do you think he will ride Bush’s low approval ratings for another 3 years and 10 months?

I can see him writing his memoirs in thirty years: “It was George Bush’s fault that Cuba invaded through Florida and took over everything East of Mississippi! If he would have been nicer to Turkey, then the French would have protected us,” and, “The right wing fanatics can blame me all they want for cutting military spending and paying our nation’s finest volunteers to go door to door for ACORN registering illegal aliens to vote instead of defending our country, but we all know that it was Sarah Palin’s fault for allowing the Russians to invade through Alaska and take over everything West of the Mississippi! If she had recalled Alaska’s National Guard from their duty cleaning the sewer systems in Nairobi where I stationed them, we would have never been in this mess!”

Listening to His actual words it’s derisive not divisive. Not a huge difference admittedly, but enough for a libtard to score an unearned point.

If that was an effort to be a pragmatic, presidential unifier then the man has utterly failed.

Mike, again I agree.

All that kind of talk does is underline how out of touch the man is with the real America. It’s similar to his bitter clingers slap at people in Pennsylvania.

In fact, many of them will regard Obama’s statement as a validation of their view and likely to cause them to hate America even more.

Oh, I wholeheartedly agree. My point was on Obama’s intent, which isn’t to say that he doesn’t harbor sympathy and sentiments aligned with the Zinnish, Chomskyite-view of America’s sins. I think his perspectives on American history are firmly rooted from the liberal perspective. But I also see him as trying- straining- to be a pragmatic presidential uniter and voice of reason and moderation. Unfortunately, he’s hamstrung by his liberal instincts and nature.
