Krauthammer On Obama: "One Of The Emptiest Speeches I Have Ever Heard" (video)
RealClearPolitics ^ | September 6, 2012 | Ian Schwartz

Posted on 09/06/2012 8:44:13 PM PDT by i88schwartz

Charles Krauthammer on President Obama's convention speech: "I was stunned. This is a man who gave one of the great speeches of our time in 2004. And he gave one of the emptiest speeches I have ever heard on a national stage. Yes it had cadence, and yes, there were deceptions in it, but that is not what is so striking about it. There was nothing in it. This is a man who believes that government can and should do a lot. There's nothing here that tells us how he's going to go from today to tomorrow."

I only lost from my phone. I make my little mistakes here and there, but nothing more than that.

[[Now of you ARE dyslexic that’s another story,]]

Excuse me? Sorry I’m not perfecvt like you- and like i said- if you don’t liek my posts- then don’t read them - no need to make childish remarks about htem- if the context is all you can focus on and not the content- wel lthen whatever- again- it’s just childishness to zero in and jump all over someone because of the delivery while ignoring the content

"Now who can argue with that? I think we're all indebted to CottShop for clearly stating what needed to be said. I'm particulary glad that these lovely children were here today to hear that speech. Not only was it authentic frontier gibberish, it expressed a courage little seen in this day and age."

There is reading; and there is 'deciphering'. There is also a 'spell' check right here - on site! (spell/preview/post). You cannot miss it. You can ignore it; however. . .

That said; even with such help; mistakes are made; and certainly am 'guilty'.

Deciphering; is another level; and so a challenge; but do like what you have to say; however. . .

Chuckie K in da house.

I don’t always agree with him, as when there is a divide between the Tea Party and the (Charles’s) Establishment types.

But here he is dead on.

why does Obama want to limit success to JUST getting into the middle class?

why does obama want a glass success ceiling?

Obama didnt write that speech...somebody else wrote it for him.

He was definitely just going through the motions. Its almost like there was the Sword of Damocles hanging over him. Could it be that Judicial Watch has already put the DNC on notice that they will be looking for the “Constitutionally qualified” to serve. If its in the document, lawsuits will be filed to show proof. If its not in there, lawsuits will be filed to keep Barry off the state ballots using existing laws. I am thinking thats what got him out of sorts.

And they are speeches delivered in the most annoying, clipped monotone any human being has ever possessed. I literally can not listen to Barack Obama speak. His annoying monotone drives me nuts!

Obama as MacBeth

MACBETH
She should have died hereafter;
There would have been a time for such a word.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.


A poor player, an Idiot, strutting and fretting upon the stage is such a good description of Obama.

Not trying to pick on you, but like it or not, presentation matters in presenting an argument.

If a person was drunk and slurring, people are not going to listen to the contents of the speech, no matter how brilliant the words are.

Man, I thought of that same quote from that DWM Shakespeare summed up the entire DNC.

Well. ..make that; like 'some' of what you said; but the more you say; the less I am liking it! Mostly the context and content per 'defense' MO!

Clearly, however; you are 'up to task' per defense requirements!
