Lincoln's Gettysburg Address? FDR's day of infamy and nothing to fear but fear itself? JFK's ask not? Reagan's Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall? Meh. Not bad I suppose, but nothing compared with Barack Obama's immortal rhetoric, such as when he proclaimed, uh, like, when he intoned, that is . . .
On today's Morning Joe, the unctuous Harold Ford, Jr. went into sycophantic overdrive, telling White House press secretary Jay Carney that President Obama is "the greatest orator that the office has ever known." View the video here.

That needs a gag and barf alert. The Puke in Chief is a national disgrace of epoch proportion, IMO.

His boring teleprompter-induced drone makes him a great orator? Give me a break.

Being a great orator does not a great leader make,

The irony is, before Obama came along, Harold Ford was considered the Dem’s “clean and articulate” black guy. Funny how they all come in vanilla swirl or mocha too.

Watching the debate last night, one of the things that really struck me is that just about every Republican up on that stage spoke better than Obama. No teleprompter. No stumbling. Smooth, grammatically correct sentences. Off the cuff answers that were cogent and clear. Obama can't do that.
The only real exception was Ron Paul. I actually like one or two of his ideas, but the guy is a scary, stumbling old man.
I don't know why people say Obama speaks well. He reads other people's words and he over-acts when he does it. And if he loses his place on the teleprompter, he embarasses himself.

I notice he didn’t say squat about leadership ability or faith to the Constitution. Hell, Mel Blanc was a great orator. What a rube!

Hitler was a great orator but he led Germany into hell.

Everyone knows the sequel is much worse than the original.
We much resist! I say we much!
Just another Less Than Zero teleprompter speech
Is there any end to this man's delusion?
It's a very long way to next November.

Ford is still in a Hopium-induced coma and should be in the Betty Ford Clinic.

I don't understand where this comes from. Saying Obama is a great orator is just simply ridiculous. Compared to Reagan, Obama sounds like a child, or juvenile boy king.

Remember when the left became unhinged when he spoke with “Joe the Plumber” and Obama even went on to attack him in later speeches. Obama should be slapped with a wet noodle.

One of the very few good things that happened on election day 2006 was that little Harold Ford did not make it into the US Senate.
