The left starts to wonder if Obama is really so cool after all

Tom Junod, writing in Esquire, airs doubts that would’ve been unspeakable among his peers not so long ago:

The most captivating political story of the present moment is not the Republican resurgence but rather the ongoing diminution of President Barack Obama. It is a story that started almost as soon as he took office, took hold with the passage of the stimulus, played itself out during the health-care debate and its aftermath, and reached its inevitable climax on Tuesday night. It is the story not of policy but rather of personality, and what makes it so captivating is its element of mystery.

Bloggist does a good job of mocking the Esquire article out now that claims things like "Sure, he was cool and cerebral, but he was also confident, almost cocky, because he had the power to summon inspiring rhetoric on command, which meant that he had the power to summon us on command."

Power to summon Chris Mathews - yes. Power to summon us, ah no!

Inspiring rhetoric on command? LOL! On teleprompter maybe, and virtually all of his so called inspring rhetoric sounded like Harold Hill selling uniforms and instruments to form a boys band. Only complete morons bought it, I can’t believe they can still look at themselves in the mirror. What total fools.

The left is a bunch of pathetic sluts who fall in love, get knocked up, get rejected, get angry, and then fall in love with someone else all over again.

A foreign born raghead is elected to the highest office in the world solely because he be black. He also be too dumb to have realized he was gwin hafta do a job. Only in America.

The House should act quickly to ban the use of teleprompters for the State of the Union speech! :o)

“Inspiring rhetoric on command? LOL! On teleprompter maybe,”

The teleprompter should be man of the year.
The very few times that Obambie has to wing it, he sounds like the blithering idiot that he is.

Back in 2008/2009/2010. we had doubts about Obama, but, far from being unspeakable here, we made our voices heard loud and clear here on Free Republic..... we were way ahead of the times.....

Did the teleprompter had anything to do with Obama ticking off the Supreme Court during his state of the Union address ?
I say ? if it did, keep the teleprompter plugged up and running.
The teleprompter is a America patriot trying to save our country from this disaster.

yes - and we were derided as racists and bitter clingers. Apparently being a bitter clinging racists is now in style!

Remember, history is on our side, and some how, I believe God showed us on Tuesday that he has got our back and is in charge.
