The only thing I can think is that he’s referring to Bush SR. because he doesn’t specify W.

If you say something, sounding sincere, and willing it to be so, you can CHANGE REALITY.

Okay, not in real life. Try it with a dead squirrel, and you’ll have wasted some time and have a dead squirrel to show for your efforts. But being on Powerline is like having RUBY SLIPPERS! Click your heels, Dorothy! You had the power all along!

Oh No! I got nothing. I just can’t believe someone wrote that with belief and sincerity in their mind.

Ah, yes, the media conspiracy! It’s not that Obama’s a highly educated man, accustomed to speaking in front of large audiences, with an excellent grasp of rhetoric. It’s just the media picking and choosing what tapes to air to make him look good! They’re all in the tank!

Obviously there is no far-right media which would LOVE for Obama to make an embarrasing gaffe… nope…. nothing like that around here *coughFoxNewscough*

It doesn’t matter how many blunders obama make if Big Media will only show him talking smooth. If Big Media only wanted to show President bush talking smooth we would all think differently of him.

@Andrew: Yeah, its targeted advertising. If he had wrote something about telescopes there would have been telescope ads.

Anyways, this guy is nuts. That’s the kind of guy that I just want to kill in the balls. What a weasle! Here’s the kicker…this guy actually thinks what he’s saying is RIGHT! and he continues on to go on AIR with these remarks! I hope he has his “screw the world” money put away already.

These are the kinds of people that have been choosing our presidents? Thats OK, atleast he didnt accuse Obama of being the Antichrist like I had a few people personally tell me. A waitress I had, actually told me to go get saved if Obama wins. Needless to say, she didn’t get a tip.

This guy is a typical Republidiot. By the stratagem of “simple assertion”, he tries to win the argument. He asserts totally non-factual statements about Bush and Obama. Bush is not a careful speaker. His hesitation comes from ineptitude, confusion, stupidity, rigidity of mind and lack of curiousity. Obama is not a bad speaker. He shows care in his thoughts, words, facts and ideation.

Hinderaker is a poltroon, liar, obfuscator, and, to top it off, a damned fool.

1. I think that guy is nuts.

2. Did anyone else see an advert for pain killers following the last line where Justin wrote, “Excuse me, but I have to go beat my head against a wall.”

This is not a joke. This guy is serious. I read his blog posts for the past month after reading these absurd comments. In the full text of his blog he points out Obama’s gaff in mentioning Nancy Reagan having a seance and he pointed to another incident that actually wash’t a gaff. This guy is a conservative. He is appearing on Hannity and Combs this week. Need I say more.

Don’t try to deflect the point of this – that this joke is saying that Bush is a better public speaker.

“Ummâ€¦havenâ€™t any of you actually heard Obama speak when heâ€™s not reading from a teleprompter??

Heâ€™s a pretty good reader, but he canâ€™t think and speak at the same time.”

Well he was good enough to whip McCain’s ass three times in debate…

Avi, public speaking 101 says that if you need to think, do so silently. Verbalized pauses are sloppy and amateurish. Not saying Obama is, but if we were to use a poker analogy, when Obama begins verbalizing his pauses, it’s typically around a subject that is delicate. He’d clearly like to craft an eloquent response.

Nothing wrong with that at all, but when we start pardoning a candidates flaws, especially minor ones like this, it smacks of ideology getting in the way of honest assessment. I hope Obama does great things for our country, but he’s not going to be perfect, nor should we expect him to be. You’re a more genuine supporter when you can note the good along with the flaws.

Saying Uhh, and umm, is not a sign of a bad speaker, in fact its more a sing of a thoughtful person, a person who is searching for the right way to phrase something

Umm…haven’t any of you actually heard Obama speak when he’s not reading from a teleprompter??

He’s a pretty good reader, but he can’t think and speak at the same time.

I’m not saying that Bush is a “role model of public speaking”, but uhhh, ummmm, well, mmmm, you know, ahhh, he could, ummm, use a little, uhhh, mmmm, help when, uhhh, he’s not reading, mmmm, a teleprompter in public.

Then there’s Biden…..holy shit….I’m surprised Obama hasn’t pushed him in front of a bus yet, just to get rid of him.

That was one of the dumbest things I’ve ever read. I’m surprised that the guy who wrote is actually intelligent enough to use a computer to post a blog. It’s literally insane to even remotely thing that Bush was a good public speaker.

I’m sorry, it took me far too many tries to get beyond “Obama thinks he’s a good talker” to even begin to take this seriously.

Whether this is a delusional right winger or someone attempting satire and slightly missing the mark, it’s still hilarious.
