Barack Obama, the greatest orator of all time, spoke at Westminster Hall on Wednesday. It was a rousing, inspirational speech. A barnburner. A classic.
Who do we think we’re kidding? It was boring as hell. So boring, in fact, that British Justice Secretary Kenneth Clarke appeared to take a little catnap as the President spoke.
We say “appeared” because we’re confident that Clarke was merely closing his eyes in order to concentrate more fully on every word Obama said.
Yeah, right.
For god’s sake, it’s no wonder the sun has set on the British Empire. Here in America we have to listen to this guy drone on damn near every day and we don’t fall asleep.
Man up, you limey bastards.

I thought Jimmy Carter speeches were irritating and dull, but Barry's are worse. For how he is portrayed by the lamestream media, I don't know how anyone believes that Obama is a good speaker. Obama is dull, boring and makes George W Bush's speeches look polished. Half the time he is, stumbling on words with loads of ah, ems, etc. He is even worse without a telepromter.
I enjoy his teleprompter use. It tends to disclose his lack of vocabulary. Remember who his doctors are? They're corpse men.
Huh??!! What did I miss??!! I fell asleep at 0:23.
God Lord, that man's voice just drones on and on and on.
Do you think his teleprompter includes facial cues and pauses?
" ... even when the free market works as it should (pause and look stern) both our countries recognize that no matter how responsibly we live our lives (pause and purse lips, take advantage of pause to fart) hard times and bad luck (pause and look down your nose at teleprompter making it appear that you are in deep thought), a crippling illness or a layoff may strike any one of us (pause, lick lips, reflect on your incredibleness, give audience time to genuflect) .... etc etc blah blah blah"
He Oh-rates cuz he's the Oh-bama. Actually 0-bama works better. Barry Zerobama. Excellent. Another T-shirt for the economic recovery pogrom... 'scuse me - program.
Excellent. Fart jokes FTW.
I'm so old, I had to look up what FTW means. I'm pleased to see it's something good. LOL!
The one good thing about that clip is that I remembered a few chores that I have to do. I have no idea what he was saying and I am not going to try to concentrate to figure it out. I tune him out now. I cannot even pretend to care about what he says.

No kidding. The far right is famous for short attention spans, and inability to focus on anything with any depth. Which is why they keep supporting clowns for elected office: they're less concerned with substance than they are with being entertained. With Obama, they might actually have to use their brains, instead of just regurgitating sound bytes.
Moron.
Wow, barry can even put to sleep the Brits with his ramblings and we just thought it was Joe Biden who had difficulty staying awake during a speech from barry.
You'll notice no one fell asleep when Netanyahu spoke to the US Congress last week.
It's hard to fall asleep when you are on your feet, honoring a real leader with standing ovations.
I wish Netanyahu could run for President but he cannot prove he was born in America. Or can he? Anyone here know a good document forger in Hawaii?
Obama doesn't know a good document forger anywhere. All of his are forged in very amateurish ways.
If only he spoke Arabic, he coulda just bored Bin Laden to death instead of strangling him with his bare hands.
I hear he's a distant relation of Joe Biden....naps during Obama speeches must run in the family.....
Hmm.... be waterboarded or be forced to listen to an Obama speech?
It is not a difficult choice. Obama sucks. At least water has very many benefits. I cannot live without water, I can live without Obama.
Waterboarding is clearly the lesser torture here.
Though I've been there, I'm gonna have to agree with moudoka, waterbording is the lesser torture here.

No kidding. You guys are used to watered-down George W. Bush style tripe, like "You've got to realize, these people hate freedom," or far right wing liefests. Heaven forbid you should have to listen to a speech that requires you to use your brain. ;)
Three-thousand percent.
"Heaven forbid that you should have to listen to a speech that requires you to use your brain."
Mmm, an Obama speech might engage one's limbic system.
I think Olivia is one of Obama's speechwriters.

Why, thank you. :D
She might be, she certainly knows all the Democratic talking points and cliches.
Well it's a whole lot better than listening to a speech of Obama's and having to suspend incredulity and use your imagination!
The average TV sitcom has a more believable story than Obama, and I don't watch them either.
Heaven forbid I have to listen to any politicians speech. At least George Bush didn't put me to sleep or make me want to throw the television out the door. Bush is a confident but, basically, humble man and it comes through in all his speeches.
What do you see when you watch the Obummer speak? Arrogance, plain and simple. The tilt of his head, the way he looks "down his nose" at the audience when talking, his every gesture, shout out to those of us that use our brains this arrogant fool couldn't run a Taco Bell. And 52% of the voters, the ones that voted for a symbol instead of using their brains, decided he could run a country?

This is so comical. You guys are like a bunch of middle school wallflowers, griping that the class president "thinks he's so big" because he's smart and popular. HOW DARE HE "look down his nose" at the audience (even though he's standing up on a platform and can't avoid looking down at them, unless he crouches down on his hands and knees and puts his head to the floor).
As for your charge that Obama "couldn't run a Taco Bell"......the presidency isn't a business managerial position. Why in the world would you expect it to be? That's like trying to ridicule a neurosurgeon on the grounds that he doesn't know how to drive a forklift. :D
And, of course that Famous Teleprompter Non-Scandal has got to be the most ludicrous Obamaphobic talking point in the Dittohead Archives. "We hate and despise the president because he uses notes when he gives a speech!"
Keep it up. I'm thoroughly enjoying the way you all scramble madly to come up with excuses for your prejudices. Even with the help of a prefabricated Obamaphobic tirade to help you each day, your gripes are getting more and more threadbare. :D

That's funny. Do you remember what then-president of Mexico Vicente Fox said about Bush? He called him "the cockiest guy I ever met in my life." Now, you might find that swaggering cockiness attractive (I don't), but it's got nothing to do with humility. This is a man who's had everything handed to him----the best schools, the TANG (to get out of going to Vietnam), a free pass from his military responsibilities when he wanted to work on a political campaign instead, Dad's political connections-----but who lacks the imagination to recognize that other people don't get those kinds of opportunities. Small wonder that his cronies made out so fabulously on his watch, while most working Americans fell further and further behind financially.
Whiskey, don't forget, it looks like he's watching a tennis match, as his head moves left, right, left, right, from one teleprompter to the other. I can't stomach watching his speeches. I'll read whatever I can stand to later. He makes me ill.

Translation: "Rush Limbaugh says teleprompters are bad, so I have to bad-mouth Obama as much as possible for using one. Never mind the fact that every single president during the past 30 years (including movie actor Ronald Reagan) has used them, as have most heads of state around the world...RUSH SAYS Obama is bad for using one, so that settles it. And Rush oughta know, because he read it right off his teleprompter."
I heard Olivia's vibrator even rejected her....
LOLOLOLOLOLOL. That was so funny!
