The Republicans have been a basket case ever since Sara Palin showed up.
Who will it be?
I wonder why people didn't consider it a Kenyan Muslim socialist thing to use a TelePrompTer when Bush did it.
Which is a little weird, because Bush (Yale undergrad and Harvard Business School) was about as Texas redneck as Burqa Hussein Osama is Kenyan Muslim.
Didn't strike me as particularly uncivil. Everybody has such thin skin down there these days.
No, Presidents started doing that sort of thing before Obama was even born.
He didn't taunt, he responded to rude applause.
Bush wasn't considered the omniscient Messiah by his supporters.
Not by his supporters.Rather, he was portrayed as stupid.
Not much was made of it because he wasn't totally stumped without it.Thus, it wasn't surprising Bush had to use a teleprompter.
He is lost without it.In contrast, Obama is held to a higher standard because of his ostensible extraordinary intelligence and speaking ability.
The truth of the matter is that while Obama can deliver a great speech off of a teleprompter, he is nothing special when he must speak without a teleprompter.
I didin't watch the speech and don't intend to; from what I've read today he said things I expected to hear already.
Two big things though out of the speech: his response to the hecklers was spot on.
He mentioned not only gays and lesbians but bisexuals and transgendered people when speaking of condeming people due to who or what they are.
For that alone I say good on him.
Now if he just upholds the rest of the speech...
I predict the USA will have its first Jewish president and she will be the greatest yet.
Obama once opposed gay marriage. Isn't it amazing how his views have evolved in such a short period of time?
That is right.
Remember... Republicans flip flop... Obama EVOLVES.
Obama was being duplicitous when he thought it was to his advantage.
