Obama Has Lost His Speaking Mojo

I'd rather have Bush the Plain than Obama the Fraud. During the 2004 convention, when Obama was praised for his speech, I had a flight to Chicago. I remember three "yoots" at a bar talking about how wonderful Obama spoke. When I inquired, none could recite what he said. Finally, one of the three attempted and I replied "He sounds like any other Democrat." The reply by one babe was "But he's cool. You know he's black, right?" As Tom Daschle would say "Outrageous, outrageous!"

Great speaker my arse. That is all.

What “speaking prowess”?

Never had it, never will.

You’ve pointed out a key flaw in the liberal marketing scheme: it’s all about style, not substance.

The Left is very good at packaging manure. The problem is, sooner or later someone opens the package.

[treetopsandroofs]

I disagree.

If anything, he was an IGNORANT reader.

“Corpse men” two or three times in the same speech from the Commander-in-Chief is epic FAIL.

IMO, he was neither a great speaker not a great reader.

He stuttered and stammered and sprinkled his speeches with uh’s and er’s and nearly drove me crazy. I never could believe the hype about how great a speaker he is.

Sorry about the double post—it seems that quite often, my posts are doubles, but I only hit post once....don’t know what that’s about!

[DeaconRed]

MOJO? WHAT DAMN MOJO?
The crook never had MoJo.

His days are numbered. . . . . . . .

[livius]

My opinion exactly. I don’t know where the myth of Bambi as a “great speaker” came from, especially since all you had to do was listen to him for about 30 seconds to realize how awful he was.

This "Obama The Orator" crapola is truly the stuff of Urban Legend.

The man is a fair teleprompter reader ... not great. He shifts eye contact from one teleprompter to another, giving him a rather reptilian look on TV, swiveling back and forth, he rarely looks the camera "in the eye." I just don't get it, I guess .... because when he speaks, I itch.

Without prepared material to read, he is an unmitigated disaster.

"don’t know what that’s about!"

Try using Google Chrome if you aren't already. . . . .

Lost his speaking mojo? Call a corpseman! Um...er...uhh...umm...”let me make this perfectly clear...it’s Bush’s fault!” Either that, or TOTUS is broken.

[treetopsandroofs]

His handlers tell us he was a great speaker, and half of America is trained to believe it, as long as they don’t hear it first on Fauxnews.

[MisterArtery]

He used “corpseman” three times in that speech. He also used it once in a speech a few months previous. Either he was corrected and didn’t remember or his minions are afraid to correct him. I suspect the latter.

[kosciusko51]

I can't stand listening to the man. He speaks way too slow, with way too many affectations, that is like someone is drilling into my head right through my ear canal.

Also, Glenn Beck pointed out that when 0 stutters, he is about to tell a lie. That is true, since everything he says is a lie. I think when he stutters, it is a lie that he doesn't want to say for fear of offending his base or his own sensibilities.

Around the time that happened, I overheard an older lady say “If Obama pronounced it that way, it must be right.”
