So his only qualifications are that he is "articulate and clean". Got it. Pretty low bar for such an important office. This is the equivalent of me saying my dog is smart because he signals when he needs to go outside.
Six years later and you're still stuck on his qualifications?
He was voted in twice. Obviously the American people think he is qualified enough (at least, more qualified than McCain / Palin / Romney / Ryan).

Dog comparisons?
We'll let that one slide. Dehumanization is common rhetoric from the right.
I watched/listen to it and I have to say - kudos to the person who wrote it. A great speech for the most part, written for the wrong person. The words came out of the mouth of someone who is known worldwide to be a liar.
I think the only input Obama had, in the way of adding to it, was in the following quotes:
I didn't realize that Ferguson was of international importance, right up there with what is going on in the ME and Eastern Europe, and was on the minds of people worldwide.
And this:
Funny thing was that when he referred to ISIL, the quick quotes put up by CNN during the speech were changed to ISIS.

In fact, he's a two-term President because of his speeches and his enormous success getting his message across in obliterating and owning Republicans.
No wonder Conservatives hate him.

If articulation is a sign of superiority, then why do Liberals hate Ben Carson so much?
They wear their hypocrisy like a badge of honor, and it's sickening

Kudos for the teleprompter.
Remember when the teleprompter broke and Obama was clueless until it was repaired? DOH!
"In a summer marked by instability in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, I know the world also took notice of the small American city of Ferguson, Missouri – where a young man was killed, and a community was divided."
Really? A trigger happy cop shooting a young man is the same as all those terrorists committing mass murders? One murder equals thousands? One neighborhood that rioted is compared to a hundred towns raped and beheaded. Give me a freaking break.
It was the only thing Obama had to trivialize how far ahead of the rest of the world we actually are in civil rights. It sounded as stupid coming out of his mouth as it does replaying in my head. Completely out of place and a ridiculous display of pandering.
