Presidential Speech Question

By W. James Antle, III on 9.10.09 @ 10:15AM

Is a president who articulately spouts nonsense really that big of an improvement over a president who inarticulately spouts nonsense?

Just asking...

Nonsense spouted in a sonorous baritone is still nonsense. (See Kerry, John F. ) Nonsense believed as wisdom is still nonsense. (See Party, Democrat). "Stupid is, as stupid does." Gump, Forrest

The improvement is that Obama is funnier because he really thinks he's smarter. At least W. knew his limitations.

At least the inarticulate speaking one wasn't a LIBERAL RADICAL TERRORIST!!!!

Wow.

This Obama can sound so nice, then carry a touch of righteous-sounding anger, refusing to even verbally recognize the legitimate concerns of hundreds of thousands of Americans (who pay his and salary, retirement, and SPECTACULAR HEALTH PLAN; the same people who he is supposed to be serving -- but maybe the idea of Public Servant is one of those outmoded concepts of the ignorant, pre-Progessive past), chide those who disagree, threatening to "call them out" for being too argumentative (cause O. is not accustomed to disapproval). Oh, and reminding me of the late, sainted Ted Kennedy from whose life I should learn important MORAL lessons to improve my character.

And I love the opening salute to Bush. As always, O. and Co. have to open with a fiscal salvo.

Then refuse to take responsibility for quadrupling the problem.

Gosh, I bet he'd love that old book. Remember?
"Love means never having to say you're sorry."

Hey! Maybe that's the key to his Presidency!

Being President means never having to say he's sorry!

Cool. He's a Romantic.
