Barack Obama: The Ron Popeil of politics

Spread the love

Loading

I’ve been thinking about Barack Obama’s speech. It was a peculiar speech, even by Obama standards. Frantic in tone, pressed in pace, disorganized, hysterical in its demands, extreme in its promises, dishonest in its characterizations, with divisiveness and discord as its goal. It was not a nice speech, in any way shape or form. Nor did it have even the virtue of elegance to offset its mean spiritedness. It was just bullying smack talk.

Not only was it weird, it was familiar. And then it hit me. Obama reminded me of Ron Popeil. Watch this video. You’ll see that Popeil is less shrill than Obama (and quite possibly much more honest), but there’s that same escalation of promises. “But wait, there’s more!”

Well, at least Ron Popeil “shows” us ‘what we would be getting’ even if it is in video….Where is Obumbles PLAN??? Where’s the details?

Ron Popiel was a success, he had a good product, he had a great personality, ……………and he was nothing like Obangi…

“Now what would you pay?”
