The POWER PLAY that Obama does with EVERYBODY with his hand on the other’s shoulder makes me CRINGE!

Obama spoke slowly, in a meandering manner. Some might say that he was thoughtful and professorial. Others might call his manner circuitous, even yarny.

That's our Barry.
Yarny Barry.

"They left with Obama snacking an arm around his host's shoulder, and ushering him from the room....'

What is it about Obama doing the power, alpha 'touchy' thing?

First Michelle puts her arm AROUND THE QUEEN!!! And now this move on Brown. Does anyone in the 'smartest administration, ever, ever' know anything at all about protocol!?!?!?!

He came across as a president who would consult and think thrice before bombing the smithereens out of a foreign capital.

That's the problem.

This is where I love the British - to be mentally quick on your feet - speak well - and have a quick wit - is something required in those parliament sessions.

I’ve only seen a few of those on pbs but they sure are entertaining.

Obama wouldn’t last 1 minute in one of those sessions.

this article is hilarious..

Mr Obama fiddled with the cuff of one sleeve, Prince Charles-style, while Mr Brown hosed him down with treacle.

ROFL

No, Brits, this is the very same stuttering, hesitating, telepromter needing guy that ran for office here; its just when he finally made a cohesive statement, it included bashing the rich, taking their hard earned money, and giving it to those who are not willing to work for it.

Their eyes glazed over and they were mesmerized. The rest of the world bought it hook, line and sinker, because it sounded so much like their own govt’s and politicians. Now, as the world wakes up and realizes that without America sticking to the free market values that helped raise all standards of living throughout the world and moving toward the socialist/communist model that will sink it, you are all waking up to the facts we tried to warn everyone about before the election.

We will appreciate all help in getting this resolved asap, so keep writing.

Good. Anything that exposes Obama for being the jackass he really is is positive.

I would say an American teleprompter thats built for 60 hertz might just slow down a bit on Britains 50 hertz electrical.

Adapters are made to convert from 220v to 110v but the frequency isn’t.

Realistically they know how to correct it but it would be astonishingly funny to hear the zero do a slo-mo speech.

Let's have a little Eric Hoffer on the subject, shall we?

"Whenever we proclaim the uniqueness of a religion, a truth, a leader, a nation, a race, a part or a holy cause, we are also proclaiming our own uniqueness".

"Vehemence is the expression of a blind effort to support and uphold something that can never stand on its own... Whether it our own meaningless self we are upholding, or some doctrine devoid of evidence, we can do it only in a frenzy of faith".

"We usually see only the things we are looking for — so much so that we sometimes see them where they are not".

"When our individual interests and prospects do not seem worth living for, we are in desperate need for something apart from us to live for. All forms of dedication, devotion, loyalty and self-surrender are in essence a desperate clinging to something which might give worth and meaning to our futile, spoiled lives"

"Failure in the management of practical affairs seems to be a qualification for success in the management of public affairs".

"The urge to escape our real self is also an urge to escape the rational and the obvious. The refusal to see ourselves as we are develops a distaste for facts and cold logic. There is no hope for the frustrated in the actual and the possible. Salvation can come to them only from the miraculous, which seeps through a crack in the iron wall of inexorable reality. They ask to be deceived. What Stresemann said of the Germans is true of the frustrated in general: "[They] pray not only for [their] daily bread, but also for [their] daily illusion.".... They are easily persuaded and led".

Lemme fix that for you.

He came across as a president who would consult and think thrice before bombing the smithereens out of a foreign capital an aspirin factory.

Oh Dear, did someone leave Mr Obama’s stimulating friend Reggie at home?

zerO really needs those trips to the gym (once reported 6 times in one day) with Reggie to keep his energy level up....

It sounds like Obama has ADHD.

There are Europeans fawning all over the Obamas. I saw a picture yesterday of Mrs. Obama and the French first lady together. The French first lady looked very elegant, in a simple yet stylish dress, while Mrs. Obama’s clothes fit poorly and showed the kind of wrinkling clothes have when they are worn too tightly. The picture caption spoke of the two fashion trend setters. Please! I see enough of people squeezing into clothes that are too small already!

An obscure Dylan reference? (From Desolation Row)

Cinderella, she seems so easy
“It takes one to know one,” she smiles
And puts her hands in her back pockets
Bette Davis style

For his part, Mr Obama stared at Mr Brown with two weary, slightly glazed eyes, his mouth agape.

"Trout look" ping.

“It sounded as though he had a blocked nose and so his lack of energy may have been a symptom of a cold. Jet lag, too. “

-Oh poor, POOR obammy... Let’s make excuses. He takes a vacation DAYS after taking office, can’t travel to England without being so fatigued that he can’t speak... Oh my, a fellow in this condition wouldn’t make it into our MILITARY, much less be it’s LEADER! Send the bum home to Chicago. It’s time to retire him already.
