Obama Speaks Like Hillary Wishes....


.....she could....

......The next time that Hillary speaks at a campaign rally just close your eyes and see if the words paint a picture...

........Today Obama was able to paint a beautiful picture of his vision for America...with Hillary I just see more of the same ole SH&T we have put up with over the last eight years....Hillary is to angry and to egotistic to much of a flip flopper be president and Bill has contributed to that condition.

1. Wow. Way to support your candidate.... NOT. Did you sleep through the speeches?
All that HOPE and CHANGE and NEW DIRECTION?

And the VERY first thing you can think to say is "Fuck Hillary, she can't speak as well? Same old shit!! ANGRY!!! Egotistical! Flip flopper!! Bad HUSBAND!!!!"

I think Obama's BIGGEST hurdle might very well be some of his so-called "supporters."

Folks like you might be his undoing, because you just aren't "helping" him with that kind of invective.

2. So you disagree with the OP?
Because it seems pretty obvious to me that Obama's a much better public speaker than Clinton, for what that's worth.

6. Yes, I disagree with everything about the OP, and most of all, the vitriol.
Clinton and Edwards don't have that gift of "soaring oratory" but they also don't use teleprompters, and when they speak "off the cuff" they are actually BETTER than Obama, who is hesistant and slips into a ponderous monotone when he isn't speaking AT people.

There's more than one kind of "public speaking."

But I don't want to "put down" Obama--that was NOT my point in responding. People like what they like. He gets a Thumbs UP for speaking about Big Ideas in a Big Room, and I don't think he's as good as either Edwards or Clinton answering questions or going one-on-one in Town Hall settings--he avoids those, unlike the other two.

What I found shocking was the swiftness, immediately after that soaring and uplifting endorsement ceremony, of a so-called Obama "supporter" to leap at that keyboard and type up that kind of shit.

Why couldn't he have talked about how he was inspired, instead of how lousy he thinks Clinton is? Where's the reason to vote FOR his candidate? He only offers reasons to vote AGAINST one of the other two he doesn't like.

I'm just unimpressed. I would imagine that I'm not alone, either.

7. So in other words, yes, you do agree.
"they also don't use teleprompters,"

LOL. Yeah, right.

"when they speak "off the cuff" they are actually BETTER than Obama"

Yet Obama won last week's debate.

8. Are you dull of comprehension? Did you not READ my subject line?
Go back and read it.

And while you are at it, read the MESSAGE portion as well. I see you're on the "pile on" bandwagon too, so this will be short.

You may believe Obama won the debate, but you'd be alone. Everyone else called that for Edwards first, Clinton second, Obama dead last.

10. Obama did not win the last debate.
The debate really went to Edwards. Clinton was probably second and Obama's performance was the weakest of all three.

11. Nah.
Edwards played both ends against each other, but that's a losing strategy when you're as far behind as Edwards.

5. And just how often are national crises settled by debating them?
I want somebody who can inspire the country to leap in a new direction, as FDR and JFK did. Not leap off a cliff, as Hillary does.

4. Obama knows how to make his rhetoric soar when he's standing at a TelePrompTer.
That's not what will fix this country's problems.
