If you want to read the speech that Obama should have given, go to Jules Crittenden’s blog. In his commentary dated Nov. 11, he writes it all down as it should have been said. It would have been truly inspiring and memorable.

The story is in the eyes. “How long do I have to stand here like this? C’mon, man, this sh*t is painful. Can I stop now?”

It’s the same with Michelle. No smile in her eyes, just, I don’t know, anger? Resentment?

That’s something I don’t understand about either of them. They’ve both attained to the best that America has to offer, and, yet, both are filled with so much resentment and loathing towards with America.

The truth is in the eyes…

Exactly. Everything with him is scripted to the nth degree.

I grow tired of hearing or reading that everyone of Obama’s speeches are/were “The Greatest Evah!” He gives good teleprompter using someone else’s words. His “greatest speech on race relations ever” back in Philadelphia is now, justly, forgotten. At the time we were told that it would be studied until the end of time.

Obama has different messages for different audiences. I’m reminded of Huie Long who said that he could talk & sell “High Cockalorum” in one end of Lousiana, then go talk and sell “Low Cockahirum” in the other end of the state.

Sign me “No Tingle Here”.

TELEPROMPTER MAN!

When you even have to take one out in the Rodeo Ring with you…..you’re an empty suit or empty head or both, or: Have to be reminded to not say what you really want to say, like at closed door dinners with supporters, where you can trash everyone else.
