What always amazes me is hearing comments from people who say that Barack Obama can really “give a good speech.” It’s clear that they like his style when he has his teleprompter handy or his scripted speech memorized. But a really good speech can be given off-the-cuff, and Obama just can’t do it.
Just look at what happened Friday when Obama was supposed to give a speech on Obamacare, but he didn’t have a teleprompter, and his speech was not sitting at the podium. Hello! The subject is something he knows well, but he couldn’t muster anything except umms and errs.
I think the most annoying is his several references to “People!” as if his servants were letting him down. One would expect a little more class from the president of the United States.
Perhaps he’s already feeling the heat from all the scandals that are boiling over. All I can say is that since the New York Times came out and said Barack Obama has lost all credibility, I’m sure there will be a lot more umms and errs coming from his mouth.
The one thing we’ve learned from listening to him for the past four and a half years is that in addition to there being no shortage of people for Obama to blame if and when something doesn’t go right, he doesn’t waste any time in doing just that.
I noticed he thinks its funny. Anyone notice that even though he has decided Bushs policies are ok when he does the same thing, he picked up a little mannerism of Clinton too. He bites his bottom lip.When Clinton did it or Elvis for sure they had a sexiness. he just looks dumb. Where is his teleprompter anyway?
… he picked up a little mannerism of Clinton too. He bites his bottom lip….
gopluva, you are very observant! I noticed that, too. He picked that lip bite up a few weeks before the 2012 election while hanging with Bill. Obama was trying to channel Clinton’s presidency, trying to make people believe his policies and admin were like Clinton’s. So he picked up that lip bite to help advance his narrative and its still there. He looks ridiculous when he does it.
“no teleprompter—no clue”—-He’s never had a clue.
I refer to John Kerry’s remark to a group of foreign student that it’s okay to be stupid in America. Obama and Kerry—only two of a vast number—are living proof that you can, in fact, be stupid and attain high office in this country.
It certainly isn’t anything to brag about nor to take overseas and showboat to people in foreign countries. They get news—I’m sure they’ve already reached the conclusion.
The inability to speak and respond extemporaneously is a good indication the person is educated beyond his mental capacity which makes him dangerous. He soon begins to believe his own press and his own prefabricated image. Soon he will enter the American political Furher bunker of his own making of imaginary troops and supporters of his failed destructive ideology whose destruction becomes apparent to everyone but himself.
It appeared the remarks were contained on a couple of sheets of paper. For someone who is supposed to have great knowledge on the subject, if you can’t talk about the information contained on two pages it’s shameful. You can bet that poor person who didn’t have his remarks on the podium is probably history.
So true, dwscho, this was also extremely apparent during the first debate, which he bombed completely. Of course, his team couldn’t let that happen again so they had the moderator, the questions and Obama’s answers prepared in advance for the following debates. You would think they would have learned to never send him out in public without a cheat sheet. Somebody’s head will probably roll on this one.
At least when they send the V P out he usually says something more or less funny.
@ sumitch – Biden might be funny at times, but it’s only because he’s just as clueless as Pres. Oreo and makes such stupid and outrageous statements. This team makes Dumb and Dumber look brilliant!
Since I have in trial work, it is obvious he NEVER attended law school because on of the main things they learn is how to speak extemporaneously and know the law, especially in Moot Court. He proves each time he opens his mouth that the law degree was given not earned! He was not a professor of Constitutional Law either, but a lecturer who class did not last long because very few students even wanted to attend. Yep, his supporters are losing ground when they give him “remarks” or teleprompters. I get tired of his hmmming and hawing and really bad speeches even with teleprompters. He is brain dead from chooming and certainly needs to be removed!
Obama was never a professor; he was a visiting lecturer.
Sure he was. In fact, he’s one of the worlds best professors.
He professed to be a scholar. He professed to be competent. He professed to be a Christian. In fact, he has professed to be a lot of things. What he isn’t, is truthful.
Exactly right AMVoter. The university he claims to have been a constitutional professor for came out months ago and said exactly what you have noted. Just another example of his lying, and this one started during his first campaign.
A post questioned if he earned his law degree or if it was just given to him. I like to see any proof that he even has a law degree, given or otherwise. Other than his word (there’s a zero sum), what proof has been offered? Maybe he could at least come up with a fake Harvard degree prepared by the same people that proved his birth certificate with a layered copy never shown to anyone with any credence. Just a shot of it on TV.
There is a whole lot of things Obama can not do, LIKE LEAD, my is his school records sealed, MY doesn’t any one who Attended these schools at the same time Remember him, Obama is a puppet for the Democratic party, Abolish this Destructive Treasonous Democratic Party.
“One would expect a little more class from the president of the United States.”
Agreed, and like we were disappointed with his wife who showed less than class with the lesbian heckler when she gave her speech to the DNC, it’s clear that these “people,” that is to say, the royal couple, are the proverbial “post turtle.” And I’m sure everyone who reads articles here knows the definition of a post turtle. I’d better stop at that because, after all, NSA “can you hear me now?” Or in this case, “can you see me now? What finger am I holding up?”
a puppet can say nothing without the puppet master’s imput.
soros is the puppet master and “********” is the dummy.
Why didn’t have “his” remarks, in his hand, when he walked out? Talk about unprepared….
He probably expected someone else to do that for him. After all, the man can’t hold his own umbrella how can you expect him to lug his comments around.
lawyer (law) school teaches a law student how to talk for hours and never and never actually say anything. was mr o on vacation during that class ?
He was probably smoking his pot.
Or on the golf course. Or maybe with Rahm at the Chicago Gay Man’s Club. I wonder if their membership is still good. http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/2010/05/27/washington-insider-obama-member-of-chicago-gay-mans-club/
An increasing number of people are coming to realize that “the emperor has no clothes”. Obama is a disgrace to the presidency and the country.
And has been since day 1.
Just a bunch of redundant garbage over and over again. This man obviously has no clue what he is doing and is in way over his head. It makes me laugh to think that over half the voting public voted for this guy, not once, but twice in the last 5 years when he has no real history to prove that he is even qualified to run a McDonalds let alone our country. He has never even held a real job people yet he is the leader of the free world. He is the pretender in chief and has proven again and again that he is not fit to lead. This is not a black/white thing. This is a he has no clue thing.
True, Obama has no clue when it comes to leadership and honest governing. But he sure is a genius when it comes to figuring out what to do to destroy our country while appearing to be detached and not responsible for any of it. That’s the mark of a good Alinsky-trained community organizer – stir upand then walk away, point at it and complain about the pile someone else left. Obama is a “constitutional lawyer” in the sense that he no doubt studied the Constitution well in order to learn how to subvert it, not how to apply it.
If our congress would stand up and challenge his word and actions his crap could be stopped. But the Republicans in the House said it would make the party look bad to start any impeachment proceedings and the Democrats would follow him off the financial cliff if he told them to follow him. It just shows to me that the politicos are more worried about their party than they are the people, much less our country.
You can’t get class from someone who is classless.
Teleprompter = Orator-in-Chief.
No teleprompter = Stammerer-in-Chief.
Obama is such a bad joke on this country.
This man has no shame. We should never reach the conclusion that he is stupid however as he knows exactly what he is doing. He is an embarrassment and through his actions, continues to disrespect the American people.
Obama has no credibility. He is an arrogant liar, who thinks he can deceive all of the people, all of the time.
He stammers because he cannot say what he really thinks. If he did, he would be perceived as a Muslim-loving, anti-American, Communist. As such, his dialog must be scripted to avoid the possibility of revealing his true thoughts.
He is a devoted desciple of Saul Alinsky, and has that radical mindset. He intends to trash our Constitution and replace it with the Communist manifesto. Don’t be deluded, he stammers because he cannot publicly express what he intends to do to this great country. But be assured that he knows exactly what he and his minions want to do.
This is a very serious matter, and it must be stopped now, or we will never be free again. God Bless America.
The sad thing is that he DOES have credibility with the low information voters. Those who do not know the truth about him think he is wonderful. But he is very dangerous.
The shame is, why did he not whisper to someone else in his little group to please retrieve his notes, or his speech? To come out unprepared is one thing but to throw blame on someone else and try to shame someone else is just plain ignorant. I have sometimes forgotten something that I have needed for a meeting. I discretely asked someone near me to have someone bring it out to me. Why place blame on someone..PEOPLE…..PEOPLE… At least he is surrounded by people..
He was correct to say that the folks back there were sweating. The folks back there know, more than anybody, just what he’s capable of. I think that what was actually happening was that the person who was writing his remarks hadn’t finished with them yet.
The media was always saying how stupid Bush was and how brilliant Obama is. I think it’s the other way around. One way to find out is to see what kind of grades they
got. Oh wait…Obama won’t let us see his.
I don’t think it’s his grades that Obama is worried about. I believe they were bad, but he couldn’t care less if we know he got bad grades, because he knows NOTHING will sink him. What he’s worried about is what might be revealed on his grade records, namely that it might show that he’s a foreign student getting school funds reserved only for foreign students.
@ KBB: I agree with you. I said what I did because it’s so obvious what the media would have done to Bush if he had done the same thing. They would have been merciless.
Please do not misunderstand my comments. I despise this man, his ideology, and his performance. But, let me point out something that many may not understand. Use of “people” in his speeches is an extremely common regional (mid-West) familiar usage to address groups, used widely by teachers, ministers, politicians, coaches, and committee chairs in all walks of public & family life. It’s generally used as an informal substitute for “ladies & gentlemen, boys and girls, all who are gathered here.” In times past, the word used was “gang” which has fallen out of use because of political correctness.
Criticism of regional dialect in this case is as silly as the criticism of Bush for pronouncing nuclear as “new-clear,” which is also a regional pronunciation in the South.
We have a million other of Obama’s short-comings and failures to justifiably criticize. This isn’t one of them.
(God, forgive me for defending this *** on anything!)
The sad part is that White people who support Obama are only doing so because of their hate for everyday Black people.Obama reminds them of a White person.Most important,Obama does not remind them of anything that will make them feel uncomfortable or guilty for America’s past and present crimes towards some of it’s citizens and other people around the globe.America is truly populated by a bunch of lying hypocrites.Blacks are no better.They have suffered for so long from feeling inferior to every other race that if the power structure were to put the devil in front of them with a black or brown skin,they would accept him as a friend.Obama does not give a **** about black people yet,they will die for him.I am so happy I was born with green skin.
That’s one I hadn’t heard about honky racism. Pretty convoluted.
Why did white people vote against Obama and 94% of the black do the same?
The answer to your question is simple.White people are just as stupid and weak minded as Black people.They may think they are smarter because the system is designed to keep them on top.Switch things around and start giving Black people most of the advantages and you’ll see how long it takes little Johnny to start hanging out in the street corner selling his asss for money. Sh)t,what am I talking about? Little Johnny is already doing it.
Billions of dollars have been spent since Johnson to bring equality.
How’s that working out?
Whoever was responsible for not having his speech before him at the podium should be given an award for showing this empty suit up for what he is. The BOZO in chief.
To the NSA if you are reading this, I am bent over grabbing my ankles, Do you see anything you can KISS??
Now that’s just plain disrespectful of Bozo.
It has occurred to me that some disillusioned person “forgot” the speech on purpose. Also when his teleprompter has “malfunctioned” at times, I have wondered the same thing. When our leaders mikes have “mistakenly” been open when they say unfortunate things, I have wondered then, too.
To give a good speech requires several things:
Knowledge of subject matter; Preparation (it’s where you practice your speech); Facts (unknown to a liberal) to PROVE your idiotic statements and beliefs; Intelligence to bring your notes; umm, umm, duh I forgot the rest. But he possess none of the above, and it’s hard to believe he passed Public Speaking 101, let alone preparing to practice law (I think you have to know how to THINK on your feet).
The media tries to tell us that Obama is the ultimate orator but I never thought he was particularly outstanding. Then about a month ago I watched a few speeches by Reagan. Now there is a great orator. It is easy to see why Reagan was called the “Great Communicator”. The news and entertainment media tried to paint Reagan as a bumbler but that was just the usual Leftist propaganda. Reagan truly was the Great Communicator.
“I don’t know what my remarks are because I haven’t been given my remarks to read to you.”! Unfreakin believable!
