Another Presidential Speech Question

By Joseph Lawler on 9.10.09 @ 10:36AM

If a president gives a major speech that includes specific policy recommendations for health care reform, and the next day different media outlets and factchecking sites have conflicting reports on whether or not he lied, doesn't that mean that he is either A) a liar or B) inarticulate?

T o ask the question is to answer it.

Who cares if he's inarticulate. The important consideration is that he's a liar, and additionally a LIBERAL RADICAL who is financially ruining this country!!!!!

I vote A.

Rep. Wilson last night only paraphrased Sen. Bob Kerrey when he called Clinton "an exceptionally good liar." Obama's problem -- he's a terrible liar.

B.O. is a liberal.

Ergo, he is a liar!

Helen Donnelly| 9.10.09 @ 2:56PM

Oh, he's a liar alright. Rep. Wilson just had the nerve to say it to his face, instead whining about it afterwards. Oorah!!

Hey, at least he has a US flag lapel pin!

Obviously, he is BOTH a liar AND inarticulate. The word “articulate” comes nowhere near a description of Mr. Obama’s speech making ability. He comes across with presumptuous rudeness towards everyone who disagrees with him, when deference and respect would be reflective of a genuine leader. His impertinence is not only bold, it’s shameless, condescending and bitter. His flippant verbal “ticks” are a rhythmic cadence of contempt for every dissenting voice, making the OBAMA CONCLUSION the final word. Of course, this only resonates with “his” crowd, the angry Left. Obama is a man of “words” and not ideas ... his thoughts are not organized into a coherent or meaningful whole, as they are merely the verbal equivalent of brightly printed puzzle pieces mixed from several different boxes. He is perhaps the most loquacious speaker we have ever experienced in a President ... but articulate? not so much.
