Mr. President, if you going to tell the world not to stand up there and point fingers

[MarkMiller]

Then maybe you shouldn't spend the entire length of your speech.....doing just that. Body language is everything to the rest of the non-English speaking world.

This really kind of bothers me. It's a bad habit to point and worse to do it ALL THE TIME.

(Disclaimer - This is something I immediately noticed during the speech. No threads got started about the UN Speech so when I decided to start one.....it became pretty obvious I wasn't finding these images from liberal sources. All of the video available on the UN speech is negative...note the "New World Order" title on the video. Also many of the images are from conservative sites like the christian science monitor. I guess I shouldn't be so shocked that liberals are not being critical of Obama. That's just not right. PUBLIC OPTION DAMMIT!)

Everyone has distinct speaking styles.

Bush had the "I'm a moron, but a loveable moron" approach.

He liked to mispronounce words, or make up his own special language.

Hell, they even used his stupidity as a marketing ploy for the 04 election.

Obama has a bad habit of folding his hands on the podium after making a point.

Each time he does this, it makes a "thud" sound, because the microphone picks up the vibrations.

And Clinton used to give the thumbs up and what was the other thing? A gentle thump on the podium I believe.

Well at least this president is easy to imitate for Saturday Night Live.

Uh Uh Uh Uh Uh

That is all it takes.

Any of the players on the show can do it and we will know who they are doing.

[Captain Obvious]

Every time I listen to the O'bama addressing a crowd, it comes off to me like I'm listening to a sermon.

Just a fucking observation.

[MarkMiller]

Clinton used to use the "closed fist holding the thumb". He could do it with both hands. LOL!

It sort of looked like he was pressing an elevator buton! LOL!

O'bammy is truly boring with that smug mug and droning voice with the flat effect. He's as charismatic as an earthworm.

I wouldn't use that pet name a lot.....really.:)

[MintJulep]

I wouldn't use that pet name a lot.....really.:)Why not? Compared to the shit Bush was called, O'bammy is like a whispered sweet nothing.

[MarkMiller]

Why not? Compared to the shit Bush was called, O'bammy is like a whispered sweet nothing.
Yeah....but I never called him anything but Bush.....or idiot. Call Obama names all you want....but that is racist, even if your intention is just to get a rise out of Obama supporters. The term is a play on words from an AL Jolson's black face minstrel show.

Your not basing your anger of Obama on race....so why should you use race in any way as criticism?

[MintJulep]

That explain the O' part....but come on....what about the "ammy" part? That's not race baiting?

[MintJulep]

That explain the O' part....but come on....what about the "ammy" part? That's not race baiting?Before the election he was called Bam-bam, Bammy, Bama, all sorts of takes on his last name. O'Bammy is nothing. Bush was called Retard, Hitler, Chimpy, Chimpster, you name it. If O'Bushey were the worst Bush was called for 8 yrs, I'd have not a damn thing to hold a grudge about.

Your holding a grudge because Bush was called names? Did it bother you that much that you step up the name calling to a point that leads people to perceive racist connotations? How does that help your ideology or advance it. It's pretty polarizing actually.

No, I'm holding a grudge because an unqualified, retarded idiot in the WH is trying to flush this country down the shitter. And polarizing, you say? Were you comatose for the past eight years, Mark? :D

The government taking over the entire private sector DOES bother me that much. Racist connotations? Hell, you're called a racist if you oppose his facist-socialist, eugenic "health plan", so frankly, I don't give a flying fuck anymore. O'bammy it is. :D

Me 2 , and a boring preacher at that.
I'll judge him by his actions, but i NEVER got all the swooning from those who were " inspired". Franky I find him boring.

He's bombastic in speeches, and torturously controlled in his conversations.

He is one of the most boring speakers on the political landscape. I've always thought that. He has NO real passion whatsoever.

AMEN.

Who writes his speeches anyway? Does he have any imput on them? I wonder how many of the ideas are his in the speeches.
