Huh? That's, er, surreal...

The thing about this is, he was coming out with good points and he was speaking very powerfully and eloquently until he came to talk about the woman who died.

Almost immediately after bringing up the note he shrank, his points had less impact and he started umming and ahhing, as though he was fully aware of using the woman as prop was very selfish.

If he hadn't have brought her up I would have said good speech, but I agree halogamer, this is bad and I think Obama knew that.

To be honest, I'm wandering if his spin doctor put him up to it. I guess we don't know.

No he just read it off the teleprompter as he always does and always will do until Jan 2013 at least.  His entire presidency is scripted talking points.  That reminds me that today would have been the 99th bday of Reagan.  He would put Obummer to shame.

Considering Reagan was falling asleep towards the end of his term in cabinenet meetings... I'd hate to see what 99 year old reagan would be like...

plus... the alhzeimers or whatever he had.

Damnit I was totally going to say that haha.  Beat me to it.

 

OT: well Obama is a politician... thank you for pointing it out haha.  Of course there are going to be moments like this.  Politicians are all about empty words and false hopes.  It's because of two things.  Either they don't have the ballz to do what is right and necessary or they simply do what the money thrown at them tell them to do.  Obama seems to be stuck in between.

Funny thing about this is, banter on politicians like this are kinda irrelevant.  I've never cared how they talk in front of people are what they say.  I start to care when they start to do stuff.  And for the most part, all I see politicians ever do is things to either help their rep with the people or their rep with corporations (the money thrown at them) or their party.  Either way nothing ever gets done that could actually benefit anyone.  I'd say we'd be better with anarchy, but I trust the masses even less than I trust the politiicans.  And of course I trust the private sector the least.  They'd sell us all out for oil haha. 

Oh politics, for some odd reason we need you but for the life of me i swear you are the bane of our existence.
