@Darsan54 âbig criticismâ? It is a comic strip, it is meant to be funny, not really serious. Did you want him to talk about unemployment, debt, and broken promises? That isnât funny at all.
Why did you go suddenly from talking about Obama to talking about some hypothetical great orator? Didnât you ever learn to signal your changes of subject?
Graduating from Harvard Business School didnât immunize President Bush from the âheâs stupidâ criticisms. If we can criticize Bush for being a bad orator, we can criticize Obama for relying on teleprompters when he speaks to kindergartners.
These days, almost all politicians and other such public speakers use telepromptrs. As such folk go, Obama is well above average in his ability to talk (or write) on his own. ENORMOUSLY better than the last guy we had in there.
But, the conservative wing nuts have, among their followers, made it a standing joke that Obama uses one, and so any mention of telepromptrs creates a laugh among those people. What can they be thinking while they laugh? Answer: theyâre not particularly thinking at all; after all, if they did think, they wouldnât be Republicans, would they?
@KPOM: No way you can sell that to me. Fumble mouth Bush handle speech with ease? Obama got into trouble with that âyou didnât build thatâ for the very reason that he was trying to say something substantive about policy. Of course, what he meant is that no one creates on their own the environment that makes things work. âCaesar beat the Gauls. Didnât he even have a cook with him?â [Brecht]Of course, it is a mistake to try to talk about real issues in American electoral politics. âMorning in Americaâ, âThey hate us for our freedomsâ, âAudacity of Hopeâ, âChange you can believe inâ â thatâs the way to go.

The âteleprompterâ thing is getting REALLY tiresome.
