Harold Ford, Jr.: Obama 'Greatest Orator The Office Has Ever Known'

NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

[Harold Shea]

Proud to be one of the majority of Tn voters that ended

Fords election hopes

I remember Ford invading Corkers campaign speech to charge

up to Corkers face only to be stopped in his tracks by just

a look and no stepping back on Corkers part...it was down-

hill for Ford after that imho

Obamo a great anything is a great joke

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Even though we cannot hear George Washington, it’s doubtful anything can surpass his first inaugural speech, his Thanksgiving Day proclamation, and his Farewell Address.

Ford’s assertion is the dopiest ever, but it is all part of the upcoming “silly season” as the press tries to get their boy re-elected.

“President Obama is the greatest orator that the office has ever known”

“Its time to eat our peas”

[arthurus]

His writers don't "help" him. They do the job with the help of whoever is the source of the ideas and policies employed. One reason I don't think he even has his own ideas is that someone continually putting out all these failed and failing policies must not be connected to their implementation or effects at all It must be someone who has no personal responsibility for the failure, someone who will not face election or even identification. If the kenyan were the source for any of it he would be desperately trying other approaches at this point, unless the man actually is of less than average intelligence.

Any comments on the show as to why Joe wasnt’t included in the debate coverage?

[Arrowhead1952]

That boy sucks so hard, he could pull 25 inches of vacuum on an onion sack.

[Arrowhead1952]

A majority of people change the channel when he is on TV.

Heck, I turn off the radio when I am driving or at work when 0 bummer's voice comes on.

[Arrowhead1952]

And I am not the only one I personally know that does the same thing.

See my previous reply on this thread.

[Mr. K]

how did Obambi make it through the debates last year with Hillary and McCain?

did he hide a teleprompter anywhere?

I dont remember them- mybe he just gave memorized answers (and had the questions in advance- like Cuomo did)

[Mr. K]

Obama should be a great orator by now- he gives the same speech over and over and over again.

“The Wealthiest among us”..”uh”..”Share”...”Sacrifice” ..”fight for you”

[andy58-in-nh]

I wrote the whole speech for him about ten days ago:

“Make no mistake: as I’ve said before, time and again, the system is broken. We must seize this opportunity for winning the future. So, let me be clear: change is coming, because the status quo is unacceptable. There are those who say that we cannot ask the wealthiest among us to pay their fair share, but instead ask our children and grandchildren to sacrifice everything they have saved or created. That would be a return to the failed policies of the past. Just like the previous Administration, they offer not one dime to restore our reputation or to invest in essential services, green jobs or shovel-ready projects. Although we have come back from the brink, from the worst economy since the Great Depression that I inherited, we still have more work to do to bring hope and change to America’s working families.”

Good question: think we can imagine the reason! But not, it was not raised as far as I saw.

[SharpRightTurn]

Jr. is as big a fraud as Barry. Why anyone would give Ford any TV face time is beyond me. He has nothing to bring to the table as far as commentary is concerned.

[Darren McCarty]

Are you shitting me? He wasn't even the best this century. Clinton was a much better speaker.

During the TV era, I'd put Kennedy, Reagan, and Clinton over the teleprompter in chief. Before that it is apples to oranges, but Roosevelt was a radio master.

There are many reasons to hate democrats, but their particular genes are not one of them.

I disagree, the gene of invincible stupidity comes to mind...
