President Obama’s Speech Gets A Thumbs Down From Political Press Corps
Politicker ^ | June 14,2012 | Hunter Walker

Posted on 06/14/2012 2:42:07 PM PDT by Hojczyk

All of these points have already been featured in the president’s other recent speeches. Between the pre-speech hype from the campaign, the lack of new material and the overall length of the speech reporters were clearly dissatisfied with end result. Read on for a sampling of Tweets from the political press slamming the president’s speech.

Before the speech was over, Politico’s Mike O’Brien begged the president to stop.

In terms of politics, this speech could have ended about 20 minutes ago. Drive your message, take your ball, go home.

On the air, MSNBC’s Jonathan Alter said it was “one of the worst speeches I’ve ever heard Barack Obama make.” He refused to back down.

Just cheerleading BO doesn't help him. He needs a sharper, more cogent message with some memorable lines. I ain't walking my criticism back

ABC News reporter Devin Dwyer felt like we were all being lectured.

Obama speech in Ohio felt more lecture or courtroom arg than rally. He streamlined pitch, imbued urgency, said voters will break stalemate.

John Hayward of Human Events compared the speech to a filibuster.

This Obama speech is so long-winded it might be the first attempt to filibuster an election.

A sideways admission that he is normally just a cheerleader.

The Thrill is Gone
B.B. King

The thrill is gone
The thrill is gone away
The thrill is gone baby
The thrill is gone away
You know you done me wrong baby
And you’ll be sorry someday

The thrill is gone
It’s gone away from me
The thrill is gone baby
The thrill is gone away from me
Although I’ll still live on
But so lonely I’ll be

The thrill is gone
It’s gone away for good
Oh, the thrill is gone baby
Baby its gone away for good
Someday I know I’ll be over it all baby
Just like I know a man should

You know I’m free, free now baby
I’m free from your spell
I’m free, free now
I’m free from your spell
And now that it’s over
All I can do is wish you well

Mediaites are starting to ‘hear’ what Obama has been repeating for 3.5 years.

Many of US already concluded that his speeches were lecturous, repetitious.

Maybe, the media finally cleaned the Obamawax out of their ears and are actually ‘hearing’ what his is saying — which isn’t much.

But they will still do their best to lie and make pretty p-resident POS here, just to get him re-elected. They are all in the fix.

I understand “fair share” is tax the rich, but, I still don’t know what “fair shot” or “play by the same rules” are.

I remember when 0bama gave an i-pad with his speeches on it to Queen Elizabeth as a gift. What a cheap, tacky gift. I bet she threw it into the royal moat. I could not listen that guy if you paid me $100 per hour.

Obama’s complex campaign message poses a challenge. Will “Hocus Pocus Alakazam” fit on a bumper sticker?
