Know your audience. That’s the basic rule of public speaking that President Obama violated in Toledo on Friday.
He told a audience of autoworkers who build the Jeep Wrangler “…that the recovering U.S. economy took a hit that even a Jeep Wrangler couldn’t rebound from quickly.”
He hasn’t dropped a bomb this big in Libya.
But putting his lousy joke aside, does it not appear that his Teleprompter isn’t working? He’s delivering his remarks with the same hesitance and awkwardness that are usually the hallmarks of a recalcitrant TOTUS.

"Know your audience".
Heck, Captain Zero doesn't even know his ass from a hole in the ground and can't even find said ass with both hands!
I love it went he goes off the reservation and ends up pissing off people he thinks should be sucking up to him.
I've seen a lot of inflated claims about The One's supposed virtues; have even his staunchest fans tried to claim he possessed a sense of humor?
He's stiff. He's awful. He can no more relate to these working Joes and Janes than he can to the African American voting bloc; he shares nothing in common with them. And it shows.

He comes out with some pretty good zingers from time to time.
But his wit is definitely dry, and it can easily go unnoticed by some. Especially those who are used to listening for laugh track, so they can tell when they're supposed to be amused. ;)

He shares nothing in common with them? What a foolish statement. The guy wasn't born into wealth and privilege, like the two Bushes; he wasn't a movie star like St. Ronnie. In fact, his family was quite ordinary in terms of wealth and opportunity; he also lived at a time when it was politically INcorrect to be biracial.
In short, Obama had to work hard and excel, to get where he is today. And that, after all, is what the American dream is about, isn't it? Most honest workers can relate to that, even if not all of them can relate to the idea of going to Harvard and becoming a lawyer. I think you've been looking at too many of those silly photoshopped pictures of Obama with his nose in the air. ;)
I remember, back in 2004, when a lot of gullible Americans had been brainwashed into thinking that the most important quality a president could have was being fun to drink a beer with. That didn't work out so well for the nation, did it?
$10 says his Haaaavard buddies would have laughed....
I'm sure everthing "O" says still gives Chris Mathews the tingle. The lies , half lies , mostly lies , etc, etc. Its all good to them and their kind.
I grow weary everytime I hear how much and how well , the auto indrustry has turned around. To these people , truth doesn't really matter. Its what they say that only matters.
" Winston , how many fingers do you see ? " ------- "Freedom is the power to say 2 plus 2 equals 4. "
The last two and a half years have been one big lousy joke that no one is laughing at.
Now let them take notice of the man who claims to have their interest at heart. The membership of most unions dont agree with the leadership when it comes to backing politicians. barry is a fine example of this.
Even the Battlestar galactica would be hard pressed to get through the shit Obama is putting the US economy into. :-D
I cannae change the laws of physics, Captain. You cannae fit 300 pounds of shit into a 130-pound body!
That funny!
Yes Big Al, "it's always darkest before dawn" should now be changed to "it's always darkest before midnight!" Even midnight gives hope there will come three o'clock and with three o'clock a dawn. I just can't throw in the towel yet, but these autoworkers might not be so optimistic.
Your chocolate ration has been increased from thirty grams to twenty-five grams. 52% of 2008's voting electorate bought that and cheered for it.
Mmm. Chocolate increase.
25 grams. Doh!
That's doubleplusungood, dad. I'm going to have to turn you over to Big O Brother.
You have to give him credit for telling everyone that things are going to get worse before they get even more worse.
The first truth out his cake hole (or chili dog hole or cheeseburger hole or french fry hole) in 2.5 years as president.
That, and, don't get between Michelle and a tamale.
It's a "lie hole".
