Jesus_lol Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 [quote name='Chestertonian' date='27 February 2010 - 11:57 AM' timestamp='1267300670' post='2063822'] I really hope you're not equating jotting down subjects you want to address on your hand, to reading, word for word, from a teleprompter. [/quote] tbh, being a politician and needing notes to remember to talk about "taxes" and "uplifting american spirit" is like a normal people writing "breath in then out" or "chew before swallowing" on their hand. and that reading from her palm was mid interview. claiming it is elitist to use a teleprompter or speech notes is fairly asinine. [quote name='apparently' date='27 February 2010 - 12:02 PM' timestamp='1267300932' post='2063824'] Staged, scripted, or teleprompter is the order of the day. Generally articulate? [/quote] yeah actually. he was articulate and quick to respond, without much in the way of logical fallacies. the fact that you dont like what he says, does not mean he wasnt saying it well.

Winchester Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 (edited) The Comrade is quite articulate. He's like a pop song--catchy but shallow. His ideas are those of a fifteen year old idealist. He does come across as arrogant to me, but I happen to view him as a tyrant and enemy of freedom so I'm willing to admit some bias. He is a leftist, he does ignore reality and he apparently believes that citizens' rights are issued by the government. I cannot wait until he is out of office and I am [s]ashamed [/s] pissed that the Electoral system failed to protect us from the MTV vote.

dairygirl4u2c Posted February 27, 2010 Author Share Posted February 27, 2010 "claiming it is elitist to use a teleprompter or speech notes is fairly asinine. " people who get hung up on these things, that any normal even superhuman would do (and all politicians, often), are just making themselves look silly. that obama does it,a nd then someone flaws him for it, shows more about the person who flaws him, than about obama. the same people who would say it, are the same people who usually based their opinions on party line or gut (what i call, cookie cutters), instead of clearer independant thinking.

Apotheoun Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 (edited) Of course the topic of this thread is not whether Obama is a good speaker (clearly I do not think that he is a good speaker, but then I do not like people who openly lie with impunity), but the topic is about his religious faith, and - as far as that topic is concerned - I believe that Obama worships Obama.

"yeah i know, im reminded of that fact every day *sob*" but then later in the debate/meeting he was nice. McCain "why should we carve out 800,000 people cause they live in florida to keep the medicare advantage program and then want to do away with it?" Obama "i think you make a legitimate point." McCain "well, uh, maybe, we uh" [*wow, he agreed with me*] Obama "Thank you very much" McCain "thanks" from what i saw of that meeting it was a good step away from party line axe grinding towards working together to get something done.

[/quote] I watched the whole talk, not just the quoted exchange, and you did not quote the references by McCain to Obama's campaign promises of open debate, which of course never occurred, in connection with healthcare reform. I found Obama rude and aggressive, but he always gets aggressive when someone disagrees with him. That said, I believe the topic of this thread is Obama's religious faith, and I stand by what I have said; I believe that Obama worships himself. He is clearly - based on his moral stands on various issues - neither a Christian nor a Muslim. Edited February 28, 2010 by Apotheoun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
