The answer to this one is too easy. Obama tries to speak with magniloquence and just comes off as a big phoney. And a repetitive big phoney,to boot.

Those were students from the University of Wisconsin, sad to say. How embarrassing for us.

you can’t take responsibility for the students at your public universities! i know of two Maryland Lib families who had kids graduate from u of WI in the past few years, so you have the libs from all over going to school there!

He thinks he’s royal? He’s about to get a royal flush. And I know just the right toilet paper to use.

Not only did he not win, but he lost so bad no one on his side even said he won. I am still enjoying that. The looks on BHO and MO's faces on that stage were priceless. BHO was thinking what's wrong with MO, and she was thinking you loser.

Apparently, most voters recognize the Ryan-Biden debate will be a trouncing of the magniloquent dopey joe by the magnificent young Congressman Ryan.

Joe the Plagiarizer, magniloquent
Walter, the prop of a ventriloquist;
like two peas in a pod
with brains made of wood
What a joke the VP will have been.
