At least, now the British know firsthand what we’ve been suffering through these past three years. Empty words and far left failed policies.

“. President Barack Obama is a brilliant speaker, but also a very polite man, “

Do I really need to look up the videos of Obama giving the middle finger?

It's kind of late and I would like to go to bed soon.

Obama has ‘standards’, much less ‘high standards’? Who knew?

Sure! Why, he's the standard bearer!

I would love to see a video of Obama’s speech before Parliament today. Can anyone here provide one?

President Barack Obama is a brilliant speaker

Mr. "Brilliant Speaker" is lost without a teleprompter

“a series of orotund banalities” would describe every speech Obama has ever given.

The fact is that the alleged “high standards” of Barry’s oratory are the result of grading on a curve and that affirmative action yardstick applies to his rhetorical efforts as well as everything else he’s ever done (i.e. not much).

You took the exact words out of my mouth. Obama has high standards? Who knew?

The polite British way of saying his speech sucked more than usual.

Racists!

You reporters know the routine, you bigots!

"Oh, Gracious God, Thank You So Much! It’s such a blessing to be able to hear you . . .! Mr. President, thank you for taking time out of your day! Oh, gracious God, thank you so much!"

That's better.

Glenn Back just slammed him with his Top 10 Reasons his speech wasn't well received!

It rates a thread of its own!

The dead silence of the audience is what jumped out at me in the audio cuts I heard. Even the crickets were silent. And his lines were so full of banalities that I was actually embarrassed for him.
