how anyone could criticize this man for the way he speaks after 8 years of listening to a man destroy the English language, mutter incomprehensible nonsense, and generally represent America as a land of illiterate simpletons is beyond reason.
At least now we have a president who can actually READ.
8 years of president who can't even pronounce the name of the country he comes from? 'merica, I'm merican
You people are just grasping at straws at this point.

Wingnut.....bite me.
He is a fucking clueless, stuutering, child in an empty suit controlled by the puppet masters. Keep drinking the kool-aid you brainless sheeple.

Can one of the trolls please explain to the rest of us, clearly and without equivocation, obfuscation, or any other form of avoidance, why it is that Pres. Obama's supporters continue to insist that he is a great orator and therefore highly intelligent and competent, while Pres. Bush was a poor orator and therefore obviously stupid and incompetent, when it is quite obvious that Pres. Obama is, at best, no better an orator than was Pres. Bush?
I'd be really interested to hear why you all think that is.
Thanks in advance!

uh, uh, uh, uh, crackedwingnut, uh, uh, uh, uh
If you are "disapointed" in Bush's accent, you must REALLY abhore the British, Scots, Irish, African-American, South Africans, Mexican Americans, French Americans, New Englanders, Canadians, and other Southerners who have Bush's accent.
You must hate EVERYONE, huh?
Only a really, really stupid hypocrite would compare the number of "uhs" to an accent. So I know you really didn't mean to do that, did you?
Dipshit.

Lol. I love the juxtaposition.

Okay, so you took issue with Bush's accent.
So, because Obama has a different accent to Bush (and kinda sounds almost like Vin Diesel, except that Vin Diesel is a bad-ass), he's just fine and dandy, even though he thinks there are 57 states and presidential terms last for four to five years each?

Wingnutsackerlicker:
"At least now we have a president who can actually READ."
Yes, he can actually READ with the aid of his teleprompter and somewhat speaks in platitudes coherently when he does so.
"8 years of president who can't even pronounce the name of the country he comes from? 'merica, I'm merican"
Wingnutlicker, for most people who live in Obama's flyover country, that's a correct coloquial pronunciation of what used to be the greatest country on earth. Are your panties in a wad because most people aren't as sophisticated (by that I mean the literal definition - wise fools) as you and your elitist cunning linguists.
Your saying 8 years with Bush, Let's see what stupid or downright viscous things your boy Barry has said without his TOTUS just in the last year or so:
"No, no. I have been practicing...I bowled a 129. It's like -- it was like Special Olympics, or something." --making an off-hand joke during an appearance on "The Tonight Show", March 19, 2009 (Obama later called the head of the Special Olympics to apologize)
"What I was suggesting -- you're absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith..." --in an interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos, who jumped in to correct Obama by saying "your Christian faith," which Obama quickly clarified. Talk about a Freudian Slip.
"I'm here with the Girardo family here in St. Louis." --speaking via satellite to the Democratic National Convention, while in Kansas City, Missouri, Aug. 25, 2008. He sure knows which of the 57 states he's in at all times.
"I've now been in 57 states -- I think one left to go." --at a campaign event in Beaverton, Oregon
"Let me introduce to you the next President -- the next Vice President of the United States of America, Joe Biden." --slipping up while introducing Joe Biden at their first joint campaign rally, Springfield, Illinois, Aug. 23, 2008. No thanks, we'll hold our nose and stick with Dear Leader.
"Let me be absolutely clear. Israel is a strong friend of Israel's. It will be a strong friend of Israel's under a McCain...administration. It will be a strong friend of Israel's under an Obama administration. So that policy is not going to change." --Amman, Jordan, July 22, 2008
"On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes -- and I see many of them in the audience here today -- our sense of patriotism is particularly strong."
The ever inclusive: "It's not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations." --explaining his troubles winning over some working-class voters
The sexist: "Hold on one second, sweetie, we're going to do -- we'll do a press avail." --to a female reporter for ABC's Detroit affiliate who asked about his plan to help American autoworkers
The racist: "The point I was making was not that Grandmother harbors any racial animosity. She doesn't. But she is a typical white person, who, if she sees somebody on the street that she doesn't know, you know, there's a reaction that's been bred in our experiences that don't go away and that sometimes come out in the wrong way, and that's just the nature of race in our society."
And the ever presidential and thoughtful: "Why can't I just eat my waffle?" --after being asked a foreign policy question by a reporter while visiting a diner in Pennsylvania. "Come on! I just answered, like, eight questions." --exasperated by reporters after a news conference
Hey punk, I'm sayin your full-a-shit.

Obama is just like Chance the Gardner in the movie Being There.
Obama having never left the public dole, wonders through life saying strange and vacuous stuff, which many other dumb people perceive as profound and important! All the while bumbling along believing in his own simplistic reality and ignorance.

wnc- "8 years of president who can't even pronounce the name of the country he comes from? 'merica, I'm merican."
Granted, Hussein can very likely pronounce "I'm Indonesian", or "I'm Kenyan" quite eloquently.

Don't be too hard on nutlicker. As a stereotypical leftist, he's spent the last 8 years schreeching and cackling like an overcaffienated witch at every Bush verbal gaffe and using it as proof that he was an idiot unfit to command.
Can you imagine how it must feel watching the Chosen One crashing and burning in a way Bush never did (that performance in the town hall. Ooouuchhhh!!!)?

but-but-but-but... sounds like my old lawn mower when I start it up.
Posted by: Mo at June 19, 2009 1:50 AM
Obama's problem isn't that he can't speak, it's that his thoughts are not fully formed, so any attempt to convey them sounds like gibberish. Also, some of his stuttering seems to me to be an attempt to make it impossible for other people to be heard, which is a controlling behavior very fitting the narcissist that he is.
Posted by: Judith M. at June 19, 2009 4:31 AM
And people are STILL saying what a "brilliant" orator he is. Come on. I attempted to watch his last presser, and also some other speech, in an attempt to stay well-informed. Pure torture. The endless droning run-on sentences. The bouncing from "point" to "point." He cannot verbally proceed from A to B and sum up clearly, like a good essay would. My mind wandered and I wandered away to do something more useful, like the dishes.
Posted by: Karin at June 19, 2009 5:34 AM
I feel exactly the same way, Karin. It's especially painful to listen to Obama when you go back and listen to some of Reagan's old speeches. Reagan understood the purpose of communication was to convey information, and that you needed to keep people's interest to do that. Obama, OTOH...
Posted by: Judith M. at June 19, 2009 5:52 AM
ha ha ha! he and his entire administration are clueless, power mad retards.
shouldne we also demand to see his college transcripts, as well?
why does he keep so much hidden form the american people?
this clip sheds a little light on that...

This affirmative action idiot gives Blacks a bad name. It is obvious why they don't release his school transcripts. Editor of the Harvard law review, and didn't even write one article. just shows how stupid people can be voting for this piece of shit.
Posted by: Stephan at June 19, 2009 6:39 AM
Well, nutbar, it looks like you've been "served", but I'll go ahead and add that there is a very real difference between struggling over words and struggling over ideas. It seems like Comrade President has little to say without his teleprompters or handlers there to feed him his opinion.

he the guy that does the elmer fudd voiceovers?
van - there's something seriously wrong with this section - there are no page breaks - anybody else having a problem?
Posted by: nancz at June 19, 2009 8:29 AM
Yes, nancz, I'm having problems. The words are not wrapping properly on the page. They go on forever into the right margin.
Posted by: Judith M. at June 19, 2009 8:50 AM
Judith, Karin, and GS nail it. Young Soetoro's is a terrible speaker, even worse than Bush. Bush was bad, but Obama off the teleprompter makes Bush sound like William F. Buckley.
And trolls please note: both President Bush and Obama are Harvard alumni.

I tried to watch it. I speak the american dialect and a little of the Cuban/Florida dialect, but I DON'T speak "Jibberish".
Posted by: KHarn at June 19, 2009 1:53 PM
Maybe they should start playing the Loony Tunes theme before he starts speaking and when he's done he can conclude with, "BGAA BGAA THATS ALL FOLKS".
