I agree, he degrades below Bush level speech when he coats his conservations with "umm...". His chat with Gordon Brown was atrocious...

Let's see. The conservatives have Dennis Miller and that guy from Cleveland. Plus they have Rush and Coulter whenever they say something so horrendous or racist that they have to pretend they were joking.

Liberals have every other comedian.

Saying that you lost that contest would be an insult to losers everywhere.

Seriously, what is it about wingnuts that allows them to lie when all of reality is ganged up against them?

Jon Favreau has the worst and the best job in political speechwriting. His boss is a best-selling author who doesn't really need his help, having written the 2004 speech that catapulted him onto the national stage.

"What I do is to sit with him for half an hour," Favreau explains. "He talks and I type everything he says. I reshape it, I write. He writes, he reshapes it. That's how we get a finished product.

I realize that it must be depressing when reality gets in the way of your wingnut talking points, but this teleprompter nonsense is really getting pathetic.
I agree; Obama is a joke!

As for me, I'm smart enough not to be a politician.

Humor doesn't escape us all. I think that picture is hilarious. I disagree with what it is trying to say about Obama, but it is funny nonetheless.

Need a joke?
Here's one. And here's a reality, close to those still living under a rock. And the darling of the right wing media, well trained at a beauty pageant school, to talk endlessly.

Apparently, few seem to have a clue that teleprompter is not a new concept and widely used. Even the drama queens in the media promoting this idea use it themselves. But then, they fully expect their sheeple to propagate their agenda.

Apparently being able to read a speech written by speech writers, displayed on a teleprompter was consistently beyond McCain's grasp. So, I further suspect that of the two candidates, Obama was still the better of the two.

I here that Lincoln used the 19th Century version of a teleprompter, a piece of paper.

Did you look at the link? Or do you just smear and lie because that's your nature?
