Obama: The Boring Man-Child, Cheney: The Man
May 21, 2009 / 10:45 pm • By Dr. Melissa ClouthierDon’t you just want the President to shut his never-ending, pretentious, blathering yapper? Everyone says he’s a great speaker. Really? The man bores me absolutely to tears. He reminds me of my insufferable, cranky and addled Histology teacher from college. Holy crap, cell biology was more interesting than this mitochondrial exhausting man. Look it up. I’m not telling you.
And yet. He gets the cover of Time and on Newsweek, there’s the cover that says, “Obama: In His Own Words”. What other words are there? Good grief. He’s great. Just ask him.
In case you haven’t yet pined away for the good old days, Vice President Cheney’s smack down of boy wonder was glorious to behold.
Cheney’s alpha male act brought out some needed exuberance on the right. People forget that half the reason the Republicans approval numbers have been in the crapper is because they’ve been acting like feminized Democrats.
Contrasting the wussy Obama with the manly Cheney was a nice refreshing breath of fresh air and a reminder why Republicans win every once in a while. That Obama managed to look more manly than John McCain should tell you something. Moderates lose for a reason.
Yes. I’m all over the road here. Tired and giddy. Tired of hearing Obama. Giddy at hearing someone speak with clarity. And exulting that the Left is so turned inside out about this, too. All in all, a satisfying day.

Al Gore lite!
Both of them have this way of looking down their noses at you and addressing you as if you were three years old, but Gore could sometimes manage a little fire and brimstone.
With Obama, it’s like his heart isn’t really in it; it’s just something he has to get through.

Glad to see I’m not the only one that is not impressed with speaking abilities of the current POTUS. Is it only me or does he always seem angry and condescending when speaking? Lecturing is fine when talking to a 2 year old, but not when you are trying to speak to the voters. He seems to forget that he represents the whole country, not just those who agree with him.
Say what you want about GW, unscripted, townhall type settings, he made it feel like he was having a conversation with you, not like he was lecturing you.

Many people mis-attribute eloquence to President Obama. Though he is definitely an effective speaker (and a superb politician), the title he most richly deserves is Master of Disingenuousness. Eloquence can only be ascribed to someone who can impress not just the impressionable seekers of hand-outs, but also sophisticated listeners and readers. The latter, however, are being overwhelmed by his disingenuous rhetoric. It is absolutely stunning how President Obama can deliver a speech in which he extols the virtues of bipartisonship with continual asides excoriating the Bush Administration. He has perfected perfidious hypocrisy.

Dr Melissa – were you implying that the POTUS was aging us before our times with his vocal abuse?
