Gibberish taken as poetry!

Just be glad Obama’s not from Nantucket.

[hadaclueonce]

I got a new tagline from it!

[Ramius]

Yup.

Just because nobody understands you doesn’t mean you’re an artist.

Between his choice of poet and the Rev Lowry, I think that Obama is finally signaling what his agenda as president *gag* is going to be. He came out strong with it from the first, lost ground because of it, backtracked and lowered the key. Now that he’s actually in office, I expect to see more and more of this. He didn’t spend 20 years listening to the Rev Wright for nothing. I think his socialist tendencies are strictly based on redistributing to the black race, not a general socialism.

She didn’t use a single word above the third grade level. Her poem was devoid of anything poetic. She must of forgot about the poem and had an 8 year old scribble out something last-minute for her. She would have done better reciting Green Eggs and Ham.

“Elizabeth Alexander is no....Maya Angelou.”

Wow.

Then she really IS bad....

[canuck_conservative]

Obama’s choice? Obsessed with race?

Lemme guess .... she’s black ....

[decimon]

Her style is psychotic pentameter.

[x]

She proceeds to display a fascination with bodily fluids and functions consistent with an eighth grade locker room

Not so very different from America's own John Updike.

Just the thing to inspire us in wartime.

Modern poetry much like modern art is a haven for the untalented. Arteest wannabe’s.

[Carling]

The baby poem would have actually been more relevant and noteworthy than the boom box speech. I'm sure plenty of his minions will have to laugh, giggle, and hold their noses as the neophyte President figuratively poops and burps while learning the job over the next year.

[Between the Lines]

He should have let Malia or Sasha do the poem. I think it would have been much better.

[BenLurkin]

"who will delivering"?

[Volunteer]

Did anyone else just assume she used those refrigerator poetry magnets to come up with that crap?

[river rat]

This clown points out just ONE of the consequences of Affirmation Action, praise of mediocrity, encouraging false pride in self, passing those who fail, offering undeserved praise and failing to be factually critical of sub standard performance.......all in the interest of “racial sensitivity” or political correctness.

You get a class of expensively “educated” talentless fools.

Check our the Dalai Bama, EVERY member of the Black Congressional Caucus, and EVERY black Mayor of a predominately black city.....

I would be relieved if someone could point out an exception...

Percy Dovetonsils would have done a much better job.
