Everyone knows President Barack Obama can deliver a great speech, including the president himself, according to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
The paperback version of Reid's book, "The Good Fight," is coming out May 5 with an epilogue called "The Obama Era." Reid said he was impressed when Obama, then a freshman senator from Illinois, delivered a speech about President George W. Bush's war policy.
Reid, D-Nev., writes: "'That speech was phenomenal, Barack,' I told him. And I will never forget his response. Without the barest hint of braggadocio or conceit, and with what I would describe as deep humility, he said quietly: 'I have a gift, Harry.'"
A copy of the book's 15-page epilogue was provided to The Associated Press.
He should have become an actor on Broadway he can read lines really great
The ACTING president can read a great speech, if you don’t mind the tennis match thingy.
He just can’t use his drug addled brain for thinking, and speak at the same time.
“Everyone knows Barack Obama can deliver a great speech”. Everyone? I think his speeches are boring and if you look at content, scary.
Yes, he has a gift. His skin is dark and without that he would not be president.
If I didn’t know who he was, this would be stunning.
so the dope can read a teleprompter. so can the perkey one
I understand that Frank Marshall Davis use to appreciate his oral skills.
"I have a gift" ... BHO
"I have a dream" ... MLK
The libs are obviously aware of the big zero’s reliance on his teleprompters, and are trying to convince people that he’s actually a... um, um, er, um, good speaker.
So did Hitler! ...and Napoleon, Bill Clinton,.....and yadayada.........They could all mesmerize a crowd, so WHAT!
zerO also said “I am the one we’ve been waiting for”!!
Yes, his gift is this: A teleprompter.
Harry Truman: “The buck stops here.”
Barack Obama: “Leave your bucks here.”
It seems people have been sucking up to Barry since his days at Punahoe High in Hawaii.
Dittos, he would be hosting a show like the Hucksters.
The reason his poll numbers stay high — That was the plan, no one wants to tell the pollster the black guy sucks. Else they be called a racist.
I had exactly the same thought!!!
Yes, that first teleprompter was the best birthday gift he ever received!
Some might call it a “special purpose”.
