It really upsets me to see the refined and highly esoteric concept of “Kwisatz Haderach” merged into the pedestrian political Marxist hack that is The Usurper.
He who is the Nexus of all possible places at once has nothing in common with Nowhere Man.
A different Jon Favreau.
When did our presidents stop speaking on their own? I get speechwriters for major events. Otherwise, it’d be nice to think the man elected to the highest office in the land could construct a statement to reflect his own thoughts and feelings.
When ‘the first thing we do’ is run to a speechwriter to craft a presidential comment, I think we’re all in trouble.
There was even a catchy sound bite: “A ticking time bomb.”
WOWOWOWOWOW!!!!!
So catchy.... and so original too.
Presidents ought to have to write their own dang speeches.
speeches that fail to inspire people to listen and act on what they hear.
It’s the actions that fail to inspire...
No amount of rhetorical polishing
can fix THAT.
Who is listening to his speeches?
“Who is listening to his speeches?”
The speechwriters are—to see if he pronounced the words right, so they know when to insert phonetic pronunciation guides in the next speech.
Or, more likely, to admire their handiwork and bask in the warm glow of reflected brilliance from Zero. Favreau is only a couple of years out of college—these guys have no real-world experience. They probably still think Zero is brilliant.
Adam must be effective becauee I have been in tears since the day after Obama’s reign of “terror” started in the WH.
Obama’s strongest point is his speeches. Unfortunately for him, I and a lot of others do not think it is a very strong asset. The writing is terrible and his delivery stinks. That maddening slow motion tennis match thing he does with the prompters, the constant pointing with thumb and forefinger together, the tightening of the throat when he wants to sound emotional, and the otherwise Spock like put on professorial demeanor, make him amateur at best. I can’t believe, outside of the world of politics, that this guy could make a dime as an orator.
It doesn’t take much of a brain to write “I” and “me” dozens of times. When you write for an empty suit, you get empty words.
Here’s how Adam writes for Obama...”ME....ME......ME....I.....MICHELLE.....INHERITED THIS PROBLEM......>ME.....ME....I.....Michelle...ME....I.....I......I.....INHERITED PROBLEM.....ME.......MICHELLE.....INHERITED PROBLEM.....ME.
I SWEAR I didn’t read your post first...I SWEAR!! GMTA.
Great minds think alike. :-)
He doesn’t have any thoughts and feelings of his own!!
He repeats what someone else tells him. That’s why he comes across as not caring and insincere...because he doesn’t and he isn’t.
: “Most days they would emerge from the dark mine, squinting at the light. Most days, they would emerge, sweaty, dirty, dusted with coal. Most days, they would come home. Most days, but not that day.”
Pedestrian doggerel.
The reason these people think this is poetry is that they have never heard of or read Everitt Dirkson.
My thought exactly. I was getting ready to paste that line and say something similar but you beat me to it.
