Barack Obama Is a Terrible Bore (http://www.newser.com/off-the-grid/post/99/barack-obama-is-a-terrible-bore.html)
By Michael Wolff

Sheesh, the guy is Jimmy Carter.

That homespun bowling crap on Jay Leno, followed by the turgid, teachy fiscal policy lecture, together with the hurt defensiveness (and bad script for it) that everybody in Washington "is Simon Cowell… Everybody's got an opinion," is pure I’m-in-over-my-head stuff. Even the idea of having to go on Jay Leno to rescue yourself from the AIG mess is lame. Be a man, man.

The guy just doesn’t know what to say. He can’t connect. Emotions are here, he’s over there. He can’t get the words to match the situation.

This began, I’d argue, from the first moment. He punted on the inaugural. Everybody ran around like crazy trying to praise it because if Barack Obama couldn’t give a speech then what?

But now, at week 11, we’re face-to-face with the reality, the man can’t talk worth a damn.

You can see the fundamental mistake he’s making. Having been so successfully elected, he’s acting like people actually want to hear what he thinks. He’s the great earnest bore at the dinner party. Instead of singing for his supper, he’s just talking—and going on at length. The real job of making people part of the story you’re telling, of having them hang on your every word, of getting the tone and detail right, the hard job of holding a conversation, he ain’t doing.

He’s cold; he’s prickly; he’s uncomfortable; he’s not funny; and he’s getting awfully tedious.

He thinks it’s all about him. That we want him for himself—that he doesn’t have to seduce, charm, surprise, show some skin.

So Jimmy.

That stings. And just think, only 4 more years of this tedious bore that thinks it's all about him.

Today's Photoshop of the day (http://twitpic.com/29z90) helps tell the story.

http://twitpic.com/img/29z90-60c62a20a0f7972a0ceb5d05bb156c80.49c40a58.jpg

Yeah, Jimmy showed a lot of teeth before he got elected too. The smile pretty much disappeared when he moved into the oval office.
(Like, now what do I do?)

Ever wonder why he's not spending much time in the WH lately? Because he'll probably have to do something that takes brains and we all know that he doesn't possess anything near the capacity it takes to be the POTUS. Never has, never will.

And being a colossal bore is just the beginning folks. He's guaranteed to get worse as the time goes on.

Loved Arnold's comment about him when he was in California the other day. Apparently anyone that comes laden down with bags of money is "beautiful" to him. Sure, and Arnold I believe is a racist. He just likes the green in O's briefcase with Arnold's name on it. What a fake Arnold is. But he does not even hold a candle to the real faker.

His wife is worse. She hasn't the faintest clue how to properly dress herself. I just love her fashion sense. Wear black as much as possible. And wear wigs that look like wigs.

And Michelle was seen starting to plant a Kitchen Garden at the WH in black clothing and very expensive black designer boots. Hey, is that class(less) or what? LOL

Gee, with clowns like these in the WH who needs comedians on TV? They are not as entertaining as the WH residents are. Gee, who's going to play BO and MO in the movie "It's All About Me and Her and Never About You Little People". Probably themselves as no actor or actress would be "good" enough to portray the Boring Twins.

Your opinions state... Obama has no brains, is a colossal bore, guaranteed to get worse, Arnold only interested in money, Arnold a racist, Arnold a fake, and Michele can't dress properly. These are all just personal opinions. Do you have any facts to back them up or are you just an angry negative person that expects the worst from others. And how is it that you can guarantee that things will get worse because of Obama?

Michael Wolfe sounds like a journalist with a personal vendetta and is grasping at something to bash Obama with. I don't think Obama is the next messiah. I'm not a blind follower but I can tell when someone is being the total opposite of a follower. It's pretty shallow when the best offense you can come up with is... he's a bore. I sure wish that was the worst we could have bashed Bush with.

My opinoin of course, but as someone who knows Jimmy Carter, I feel you are insulting President Carter with that comparison

"'Finance is one of America's great industries, and they're destroying it,' said one banker at a firm that has accepted public money. 'This happened out of haste and anger over AIG, but we're not like AIG.'

"The banker added: 'It's like a McCarthy witch-hunt... This is the most profoundly anti- American thing I've ever seen.'”

Wolff is a cynic, but he seems to have had hopes for Obama. What's telling is the criticism is growing on places like Huffpo, one of Obama's biggest cheerleaders and Bush's biggest bashers. This early in the honeymoon, that stings.

I think Jimmy Carter is a wonderful human being. He has certainly used his post presidential time with a generosity of spirit and time than any other ex-prez I know.

I've often thought Jimmy Carter would be a good neighbor, but a poor political leader. I would think more highly of his post presidential time if he would invest some of it in affirming the great principles upon which this nation is built. But Carter, the engineer, doesn't think in larger terms, I don't believe.

But Carter, the engineer, doesn't think in larger terms, I don't beleive.

What do you mean? In particular?

I am still a supporter of 'Habitat for Humanity ' .But his post-Presidential career has been a mixed bag at best.

He has used his prestige to rubber stamp stolen elections by dictators in more than one nation ,and has said and written absolutely slanderous things about the State of Israel.

As a former Presidents he and Bill Clintoon have sunk to new lows in their public critique of sitting Presidents in attempts to undermine them .Carter has often acted as a pseudo-American representative overseas ,in opposition ,and in an attempt to undermine the foreign policy of the sitting President .

Do you have any facts to back them up or are you just an angry negative person that expects the worst from others. You'l notice that Current Events has become a neocon circle-jerk. They are guided by their hated of all things liberal/democrat. They post every day for the same 4 or 5 people to see. Best to just ignore their threads and be happy you are not that way. This is just my opinion.

Best to just ignore their threads
Are you going to take your advice ?

We love you, too NK. In my opinion liberalism, when not manifesting itself as a mental disorder, is guided by its narrow mindedness, intolerance, contempt for all things conservative/Republican and filled with an overinflated sense of self-importance. Hence the need to avoid actual discussion and tell others to just ignore those freaks on the other side.

Now children, play nicely.
One note though, I always thought that conservatives were known for their intolerance. You know, forbidding everything lest you go to hell. Or God forbid, you might have to increase taxes on the filthy rich. Not the middle class, not the moderately rich, just the small percentage of Americans that are filthy rich. Like AIG execs.

Gee, look around the news lately. It's getting worse every day. What guarantee is there that it's going to get worse because of Obama?

Well, for starters, what jobs has he created? What has he done for the homeless? What has he done to ensure that our rights to own guns is not stripped away? What has he done to ensure that we can grow our own food in a garden on our own property?

Since you're an Obamatron head, why don't you answer these questions?

cozyk, conservatives are not the ones forcing speech codes (http://www.thefire.org/index.php/topic/11), conscience codes (http://www.thefire.org/index.php/topic/2), discriminatory "nondiscrimination" policies (http://www.thefire.org/index.php/topic/5) and holding "kangaroo courts" (http://www.thefire.org/index.php/topic/4) on college campuses.

Conservatives are not the ones trying to enact a "fairness doctrine" to silence voices we don't like. We aren't the ones living in huge homes with huge carbon footprints that jet around the world to criticize others for damaging the planet.

Conservatives are not all right-wing, bigoted, hardcore evangelicals telling everyone they're going to hell, some are not religious at all. I like beer, I like wine, I like cigars, I like rock music. Some of my favorite movies are R Rated, I enjoy watching girls in skimpy bikinis on the beach, I hate pollution, I'd rather watch football than Nascar - heck, I even have friends who are liberals and yes... friends that aren't Caucasian!

So is he dissing obama or carter?
Obama has just started in the white house, it doesn't take a couple of days to get something done for a --> NATION <--
Obama has a family, his family is the reason why he ran for president. His speeches and appearances on late night shows, makes him look like a down-to-earth funny guy. He's all about change isn't he?
By the way- do you have a profile on infinity-forums?

You libs wait until cap and trade kicks in and then tell us how you love your $6 per gallon gasoline and your $1,000 per mo. Electricity bill.

YUP! Even though he won the election back in November he is still on the campaign trail. Trying like everything to sell his brand of Liberalism to a public that is fast waking up to the simple fact that they voted for a pretty face with no experience running anything. Sadly we do not have time for him to learn on the job as this nation sinks into a sea of red tape, bloated Government, an trillion dollar deficits for the foreseeable future.

Gee, look around the news lately. It's getting worse every day.
Obama has been in office barely 2 months. He inherited a mess that was 8 years in the making under Bush. It will get worse before it gets better. The momentum is powerful. You can't stop a train on a dime.

[QUOTE]What guarantee is there that it's going to get worse because of Obama?
I don't know. What? You tell me. You are the one that guaranteed it.


Well, for starters, what jobs has he created? What has he done for the homeless? What has he done to ensure that our rights to own guns is not stripped away?
Once again, only 2 months in office. Is someone trying to strip your gun away? If you meet the very rational sensible requirements, there is no problem. Do you fear that you won't meet the requirements? The reason there are restrictions put forth is to protect us from some hot head, having a temper tantrum and going out having a "kill fest".



What has he done to ensure that we can grow our own food in a garden on our own property?


Did I miss something? Are we in danger of not being able to have a veggie garden on our property? Where did that come from?


Since you're an Obamatron head, why don't you answer these questions?

I believe I just did.

No they don't.

I truly don't believe what I'm reading on here still. Enough already. Rome was not built in a day. This is the only president in history that have gone into office with so much on his plate. It's been two months and everyone is looking for miracles. It took several years to get to this point the nation is in at this present time. It appears that some of you have tried, juried and hung him already. To be in office in such little time, yes, the changes are slow but happening. There's aslso never been a president that have been scrutinized as the one in office now, why is that I wonder? And also due to one of Obamas' policy, 300 jobs was created. My neighbor was unemployed for four months until this week. This nation has been divided for far too long. The fact that, so many colors, creeds and cultures from all variations and walks of life came together for the election and inauguration had to have moved some of you emotionally. That right there, says a lot. Give the man a chance & stop condemning him. Also, he doesn't have all the power that you think he has, congress has a lot to do with it.

Not condeming him but his policies that are so dangerous that even some liberals are getting worried.

And yes, one has to only see the new history of lies coming from the congress to see this is just the same all politics. You have bills with more PORK than ever, you have bills that are nothing more than payoffs to supportors and more.

And where where you and others saying we need to not be divided when Bush was in office, why could you all not support him like you want everyone to support one of the most liberal push in American history.

I'm not asking anyone to support Obama, I do and that''s good enough for me. You can't always read into the media and if someone wwas to recite a verse from the bible or even poetry, we would all interpret it differently. Worry about what we can change and accept what we can't. As for me, I'm too much of a happy and positive person. But, I do respect your view.

You really need to get out more!

...To be in office in such little time, yes, the changes are slow but happening....

How about sharing one, two, or three changes that have been made since his taking office.

... This is the only president in history that have gone into office with so much on his plate....
It's not really fair to ask you, but how much history do you know? But you may wish to explain 'with so much on his plate'. What is that? Isn't the world virtually at peace? Hasn't Obama affirmed that the economic 'fundamentals' are sound? What is the number one, two, or three issues on his plate, in your opinion? What did he say he was going to do about those issues, in his campaign? What does he plan to do?

... Worry about what we can change and accept what we can't....

What are you talking about? Is that the advice you would give to Obama?

George - She (Bengie) is a dyed in the wool Obamatron robot and hasn't read a history book since grade school. Doubt if you'll get any sort of intelligent answer from her in a big hurry so don't hold your breath. Just take a look at her other postings and you'll see what I mean.

Quite frankly, cozyk, if you delete the word Bush and substitute the word Obama in your above quote, I feel the quote would be appropriate. Just delete the other word six-shooter and substitute the word "party".

If you look back at current events, you'll see that McCain was the one that said the economy is fundamentally sound, then a few hours later he changed his story after the media was all his statements.

Read it. Couldn't see where Obama was behind this. There is a quote from a poster that states my thought better than I could. See quote from Hudson below.

Thudson
Seattle, WA I've read the text of this bill several times, and there is nothing restricting backyard gardeners or organic farmers. This bill would affect large agro-business, and insure that their desire for profits would not mean the death of our children.

Please point out what text prohibits backyard gardening. Also, you should divulge any consulting contracts you have with interested parties.

Actually, that is one story, repeated 3 times.
Why would you refer to me as "little girl" I'm 51 years old and I am not your little girl.
And as for me, my husband will have his little back yard garden and I will not lose sleep worrying about big gov coming down on me and having me arrested. That's a streatch don't you think?

Did you miss the part about the 300 jobs created and his neighbor that just found employment after months of looking.

You are ASSUMING Bengie is a dyed in the wool Obamatron robet. I did read previous post and I get a "live and let live" attitude. Not pushy with his/her preferences at all.

You are ASSUMING Bengie hasn't read a history book since grade school.

You are ASSUMING George won't get an intelligent answer.

Actually, Bengie has more class than either one of us. He doesn't feel the need to dignify your attack with a response.

I don't need to give him a pass because of the shortness of the time he has served. The decisions he has made ALREADY are in my view ruinous . The Democrat Congressional Budge Office(CBO) says they predict the US deficit this year will be much higher than originally thought ;topping out at over 1.8 trillion dollars... deficits that the CBO calls unsustainable.
President Obama's proposed budget will leave the country 1 trillion more in debt per year... to the tune of 9 trillion dollars by 2019. This is a massive increase in the deficit that the Democrats routinely criticized during the Bush years.

That is just but one example of things he has done that are damaging to the country . I don't need a long time to assess the damages his budget if passed would bring.

The man has already - in less than two months - reversed course on so many of his lofty campaign promises that he deserves the criticism. Bipartisanship? What bipartisanship? Fiscal responsibility? You've got to kidding me, Bush's record $459 billion dollar deficit last year looks like chump change compared to Obama's $1 trillion a year for the next decade (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/03/20/AR2009032001820.html?hpid=topnews).

Transparency? Did he even read the stimulus bill? Ethics? How many tax dodgers have dropped out already? Tax cuts for 95 percent of Americans? Where? Even the IRS is suggesting people examine their withholding (http://www.baltimoresun.com/business/investing/bal-bz.ambrose17mar17,0,5145504.column) to make sure they can cover the extra $400 he's giving us to to stimulate the economy.

"The IRS suggests you revise your W-4 form to increase your withholding to counteract the effect of the revised withholding," Luscombe says.

The man has done so much in so little time to screw up the country he doesn't deserve any slack, there's no telling what he'll try to do next.
