Barack Obama .... without a teleprompter ;)

Cringeworthy....


Reminded me of some of the older speaches delivered by Bush when he'd get lost in his own mind & start dwindling off.

The most powerful man in the world & he's mistaking breathaliser matchines with defibralators in Hospitals - Genius eh?

its like a sketch off the office, you'd expect david brent to come up with that crack

Jeeeesus christ,

Just clicked on some of the related links, this fuckers no different from Bush!!

I've never really paid attention to this side of him, my perception of him has been purely based on good press & filtered News channels, bit ignorant I know...

It's crazy how throughly incapable he is of actually holding his own in a conversation without aids or a Telepromter? this is supposed to be the most powerful man on earth & the cunt doesn't seem to know shit from clay?

are you lot for real

Every single great speaker in history will have had times where they trip up, people just weren't sitting there filming it.

I think it's a little more than 'tripping up' dont you? Politicians are renowned for slipping up or saying the wrong things from time to time, this is a different level!

He seems be utterly clueless about what he's supposed be talking about when not using an aid or autocue Lol, shocking.

He's been popular long enough. It's cool to slag him off now

That's a load of shit. I watched a coule of those town hall things Obama did with an American friend. They way it works is they have an opening remarks bit (speech read from a prompter) and then it's opened up to more debate style and answering audience questions.

The two I watched Obama fared just as well without the teleprompter as he did with it. At-ease, answered questions properly, actually seemed like he had a personality etc.

Of course if you're not going to memorise a speech if you know you're going to have notes/teleprompter. If you then lose notes/prompter then you're going to flounder a bit.

Plus, he could be the worst public speaker in the world, but still have the best poplicies for a country/govt. Whether he reads a speech or talks freely isn't really relevant to anything other than PR.

And it's bollocks that they're someone elses ideas. Everyone uses speech writers, but you still give them the content. You're off your tits if you think Obama's speeches haven't been fundamentally contributed to by either him, or some senior aides (who've discussed the content with him anyway), or both.

Where do his ideas come from? Where do anyone's ideas come from? Should I assume someone is ordering you to type this rubbish? Or are you taking credit for the idea that the US Senate is a relatively humble field of politics?

What has he lied about and what is he trying to do that would be frowned upon before WWII?

And weren't the bank bail-outs initiated before he was even president-elect, never mind actualy president?

Read Obama's books if you want your questions answered.

From that film's own site:

Think I'll give that a miss.

The loans are currently being repaid, and are ACTUALLY TURNING A PROFIT. Obviously there's going to be a cost to the taxpayer, but early repayment and gains on investments bode pretty well, and the cost of bail outs is better than the alternative.

Everything you're saying is pretty unsubstantiated, it just smacks of the typical I'm-so-individual-I-have-the-same-opinion-as-every-tin-pot-website-I-read-and-every-Michael-Moore-esque-film-I-see.

They are in the process of being paid back, and the government has profited on this so far. Have you twisted my words to make a point or did you just not understand what I wrote?
