This is..well…pretty-damned-creepy:
WASHINGTON – Everyone knows President Barack Obama can deliver a great speech, including the president himself, according to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
The paperback version of Reid’s book, “The Good Fight,” is coming out May 5 with an epilogue called “The Obama Era.” Reid said he was impressed when Obama, then a freshman senator from Illinois, delivered a speech about President George W. Bush’s war policy.
Reid, D-Nev., writes: “‘That speech was phenomenal, Barack,’ I told him. And I will never forget his response. Without the barest hint of braggadocio or conceit, and with what I would describe as deep humility, he said quietly: ‘I have a gift, Harry.‘”
A deep humility? Are you kidding me? I think Harry Reid has confused a “deep humility” with a pathological narcissism.
Obama’s “gift” for reading other people’s words from a teleprompter is really only average at best. Thousand of Hollywood actors are much better at it than our Dear Leader. As Cassy Fiano notes, even Tom Cruise and Dakota Fanning are better at than Obama — and I wouldn’t want either of them to be President either.
Take away his security binky-prompter, and Obama has as much of a “gift” as he has “humility” (which is to say, zero).
Reid is a moron.
Our gasbag in chief said he had a gift Quietly because he didn’t want the fact that it was his Only attribute to get out to the “commoners/peasants”.
Impressive delivery of a teleprompter speech is the Only thing he does well….Delivery…not the content.
I know once I learned the first thing that I didn’t like about him (his F rating with the NRA and voting record)…..he just looked like a con artist.
Now my opinion of him is so low, there aren’t really words for it anymore.
When did the Obama-only-uses-a-teleprompter thing start? Does he use one more than previous presidents? (not a rhetorical question, by the way)
Best,
Tom
In 1951 I was assigned (embedded) to S. Korea’s top-secret elite HID (Headquarters Intelligence Detachment), a special ops agency, that worked in the DMZ (space between UN troops and N. Korean and Chinese enemy for the purpose of capturing and interrogating prisoners. You don’t know what torture is until, as an example, you have had three of your team captured, hanged and castrated with rusty bayonets. Water-boarding has no comparison.
