If you were thinking, oh, Ronald Reagan or John F. Kennedy or maybe even Franklin Roosevelt, you’d be wrong. At least in the unbiased opinion of Politico’s Roger Simon.
“The bloom isn’t entirely off the rose between Obama and the press,” Simon said, “but reporters are starting to concentrate more than ever on what he says rather than how he says it. We will stipulate that he’s the greatest orator of modern times, but now we’re looking beyond that in every speech for what he’s actually telling us.
Stipulate away, Roger. But you might want to go to YouTube and search “obama gaffe” before you say that in public again.

Skepti-gal-kal-gal. Looks like both of these idiots were taking straight shots before the show. Pity. A portion of liberal America will believe what a couple of guys that get drunk before 8 in the morning have to say. Watch it again. Ever been that shit-faced? Ever been that shit-faced on national television?
'former columnist for the Chicago Sun Times'....consider the source. What's the bi-product of shit? EXACTLY!
i have heard thru my sources in the grapevine that,,ol,billy clinton has confessed that boy wonder,,NOBAMA,,also,,SWALLOWS!! MMMM,,MMMM,,MMMM!!
The only thing Roger L. Simon got right was that Dan Rather was a pathetic liar. Roger, we will stipulate you are a moron.
When you don't know what you are doing or talking about, baffle em with bullshit. It works on idiots like Roger Simon, the media, and other equally moronic dolts.
Obama is a good orator, the real problem is every word he speaks is a lie, including "and" and "the".
Hey, Hitler and Mussolini were good orators too, and what happened to Germany and Italy? Good speaking is not enough when the speaker has no repect for the truth or for his audience.
There are a few stories of him being one of the greatest orals of all time.
The bar has certainly been lowered. I guess 35% of a speech that consists of 'umms', 'ahhhhs', and 'errrrs' is considered great.
I Still maintain that Obama has at best an IQ of 100. That is the reason we will see the COLB long before we see his college records.
i.q. of 100 is normal intelligence.
I was reading an article about the intelligence levels of certain people. There is a special term that they use for someone with the same level of intelligence as Obama. The technical term is full retard. Actually what Jukin is getting at is how early on the storyline was that he was the most intelligent man ever and his IQ was so high it couldn't be measured ever. The propaganda tales of that this fallacy abound.
Obama - I umm couldn't ahhhh do it umm without ahhhh my errrr trusty errrr Teleprompters. ahhhh Thank You (BIG Smile)
Saying Buraq Obama is the greatest Orator is like saying this Simon Simon fellow has a great head of hair.
What a tool..
I wonder if this dullard defines "modern times" as last week or last month??
