Another Astonishingly Boring and Cliched "Major Address"
The Lincoln Memorial | 8/28/2013 | Some Speechwriter

Posted on 08/28/2013 12:33:07 PM PDT by JennysCool

Just tuned in to hear the same boring singsong rhythms and completely trite speechifying we're used to, whether Obama's at the Lincoln Memorial or a high school gym.

What I wasn't prepared for was how tepid the applause was.

Seems like a bigtime fail. Comments?

I glimpsed at the handshaking at the end. The Mooch looked really unpleasant. Haven’t seen those 2 together in ages. She had on her commie red and black dress. She really looked like she hated being there. Probably mad cause Ophrah was there.

You’ve piqued my curiosity. What movie are you referring to?

It had the polite applause usually reserved for Stalin or Castro.

I would think that setting a block of ice out there on the mall and watching it melt would be far more interesting and certainly more aesthetically pleasing.

“People gathered here with their grievances to ask the government for redress”? [paraphrasing]

Odumbass has turned “I have a dream” to “I have a complaint”

I was punching around on the truck radio and heard a few sentences on NPR. Some lady with a black accent was raving and going on. Just turned the radio off. With all due respect, I’m so glad I don’t have to listen to that tripe. Yet.

I have a friend who was born in 1947 and grew up on communist Bulgaria. She said the workers were **ordered** to attend massive “manifestations” to praise the Great Leader and the Worker's Socialist Democracy. While at the “manifestations” they were **forced** to listen to loooooong speeches and clap and cheer enthusiastically.

If the Democrats have their way, “manifestations” are coming.

I have some friends from Bosnia that tell similar stories.

I thank God for what freedom we have left. And pray that He will bless our country back to sanity.

Thanks for the pic. Beck seems to have done better.
