Why does Hillary give speeches about how Obama's speeches are nothing more than words?
Isn't she using nothing but words in her speeches when she belittles Obama and his speeches? What a ridiculous argument! "HE gives speeches but I give solutions." Um, you give SPEECHES about your "solutions." Just as OBAMA gives speeches about HIS solutions! HE has positions on the issues, too. Just because they're wrapped up in an inspiring speech it doesn't make him any less substantive!

5. Yeah. "Enough of the speeches and big rallies." (And as Jon Stewart added...
"And the winning and the beating me...") :D

2. She thinks she's setting herself up for 2012
I wonder if Big Dawg is now sweating bullets at what's happening to the Clinton brand?

17. No, she's not. I doubt she'll bother running for Senate either.

3. i don't know, but their campaign reminds me of how Bush does things
accusing Dem opponents of doing things that he is actually doing.

14. I agree. In so many ways-not only that way. Her changing the name of things, like "automatic
delegates" in place of "superdelegates" among other things.

4. Just as with everything Hillary does
it's a cynical attempt to get votes from a better candidate. She's got nothing.

8. Her speeches lack substance.
She keeps saying she has solutions but spend less time talking about them than Obama does.

16. Yeah. She just says she has solutions and HE gives speeches. We still don't know
what her 35 years of experience is about since she won't release those documents.

9. She uses sign language
so she can't be accused of giving speeches using just words. :shrug:

18. Well, she DOES spread her arms out now when she speaks, wears yellow or blue
a lot, and speaks slowly sometimes. :shrug:

31. she should mime, easier on the ears.
and flash cards too, as was said below this post.

First lesson of a public speaker should be, you don't have to consistently yell - only as an effect now and then. You can project as strongly if you take a bit of time learning voice.

But then she thought it was all over on Super. No time to fix.

How juvenile of you to name-call like that.

34. That would be a good question to ask the folks running her campaign,
and there's a good chance that they wouldn't have a good answer.
