He has too much common sense. Everything he says makes sense - in a logical, no nonsense kind of way. I understand that people that are incapable of relating to common sense and would just rather form an uneducated opinion and then hang on to it like a rabid dog will vehemently disagree.

Save it - we've all heard all the ranting. I've never been the least bit political - it has always bored me - probably because the people involved were boring and full of know-it-all hot air. I'm very impressed with this guy - the first in a very long time (Kennedy).

Have nice day

His main problem is he can't run a teleprompter himself so he's got to rely on incompetents whenever he speaks!
Maybe they can come up with teleprompter software for his african-american berry phone?

LOL, I take it you didn't see the press conference?

I can't believe (a few) right-wing crazies on this site think Obama is anything less than eloquent and brilliant.

Poor you. Take another look at his high approvals and go cry yourself to sleep.

Now of course folks will try and pretend that race has nothing to do with the criticism but its funny how raise seems to raise its ugly head when the criticism is given. While the post would have been simply mendacious and vacuous on its own, the addition of the "african-american berry phone" lays bare the underlying racism of such critics.

Now that's not playing the race card, it's just a matter of calling the hand as dealt.

I spent too much so I will borrow even more to get myself out of debt? You call that common sense?

OK - oh wise one - what would you have done given the exact same circumstances?

How would you compare his ability to read a teleprompter compared to numnuts Bush? How would you compare his ability to understand what the teleprompter said compared to numnuts Bush? How would you compare his ability to speak to the subject without the need for teleprompter - using it only as a guide compared to numnuts Bush?

Considering the magnitude of problems Pres. Obama is dealing with - more than EVER seen before by any President - to try to give teleprompter 101 any significance - nice try - wake up.

A mind is a terrible thing to waste see Obama.
