Critiquing Obama's Style

President Obama is, I am sure, a nice man. Of course, I don't agree with his style, but hey, I argue with my wife on the merits of broccoli but I still love her!
I think Mr. Obama is a perfect example of what happens when you let Professors like Ward Churchill of the University of Colorado, Boulder have a case study go all the way to the White house...
Maybe a silver lining is in the mix here...Bush single handedly screwed up the Republicans for life but alas, maybe Mr. Obama will screw up the Dems for life too..then all we have left is the Unions....
Oh, the good old days of the Mafia..I sure miss em...

Amazing the things people ascribe to this guy, thats his gift, as he has said.
He is a salesman, only. Thats why hes not involved in the guts of anything, he will outsource so as to evade blame.
Anyone who witnessed him right after Fort Hood will never again have such illusions of granduer, or those who actually connect the dots of his subtle usurping of a great nation.
His one web page at 'fight the smears' where he disavows any workings with ACORN and denigrates one particular citizen has also seen enough.
Bait and switch.

Mike and Clay, well spoken and precisely correct, both of you. Beth, you need to get over your emotions, and don't get swept off your feet as you probably did last fall. This guy, as I said before, is as good of a public speaker as there ever has come along in my lifetime, except maybe for JFK. But when you strip it, the man is is just a rookie trying to be a rock star - way, way, over his head!
And Gregory, come on, this guy has shot off his mouth re-actively a time or two. Remember the statement that "the police acted stupidly" in reference to the Harvard professor, before he knew the first fact of the case? It was slick though how he smoothed this over so that the average "Joe bag a donuts" and the emotionally driven would see past the Preident's own racial bias.
You really can "Fool some of the people all of the time"
