[SuperEnoughAlready]

This asswipe who has been touted as some genius messiah type, turns out to be just another dumb fucking nigger. If you need proof, just look at what he's done to this country with his foolish policies

[gchand7]

Now tell them the part about if they work hard and achieve their goals the ones that come here illegally and that don't work hard will get a piece of their pie through redistribution of wealth!!! My prezident please wipe your mouth there is still some bull$hit on your lips.

[shndola]

Totus ftw....once again

[bench550]

Does he use a teleprompter in all 57 states?

[peterlows]

Such a simple little speech with simple words and yet this guy needs to read word for word left to right,left to right as if he is unable to remember what he is saying...sad,very sad .

[swagaliciousboo]

@peterlows i love how yu are talkin mess yet you are not the one thats up there having to read it.. to me thats "sad.. very sad"

[peterlows]

@swagaliciousboo ..I've address and lectured to more people, older, wiser, more educated without even a note.

[Politics4Dummies]

Obama was never taught it's not what you say, but how you say it.

[11111110]

I don't really see what the teleprompters have to do with freedom though. Are the members of this channel really so ignorant as to believe that Obama is the first and only public figure to use teleprompters? Or that they have any more impact on America than the type of suit he wears?

[DigitalAquarius]

And Sarah Palin needs to write down words on her palm.

Take a good look at your leaders before you bash ours. Teabaggers.

[MrSTANDFORAMERICA]

@DigitalAquarius Notes on the hand to keep in line with subject matter is one thing, but obama can't talk without teleprompters. Without the teleprompters obama would fail on "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader".

Take away the teleprompters and his greencard and he wouldn't know how to spell his own name.

[MrSTANDFORAMERICA]

@DigitalAquarius Oh sorry, it's been awhile. How have you been ainti-American/Communist?

[Politics4Dummies]

@DigitalAquarius Chris Matthews just attacked him the other day about these damn teleprompters. Here's the video so you know this is not a Tea Party issue, but just a human issue about someone who does not speak from the heart. Watch: /watch?v=eY7PDpLiJwE

[CRAPCANNONS]

wow I'm shocked at how wooden and out of touch this speech is.

the moment you lose kids is when you turn a corner.

[shredlin]

Bush could talk to kids better than this bad actor. At :40, "you're mom's 2nd shift, or your dad's out of work" - no thanks to me and my perverted socialist ideas on how to run a country.

[TheSliderEffect]

Really dude..... does this guy read off a teleprompter when talking dirty to his wife?

[SuperEnoughAlready]

@TheSliderEffect He just daggles a banana when he wants sex with Michele!

[Thisisnotmyrealname8]

He'd make a nice school principal.

[zippyman818]

The Prez was brave enough to enter the maw that is a MIDDLE SCHOOL assembly!

He even hung around and shook hands and had his picture taken.

It's good to have a President who can speak extemporaneously in complete sentences.

[jnjnelson]

@zippyman818 The only time I've heard him speak in complete sentences is when he reads complete sentences. My eight-year old can do that.

[11111110]

@jnjnelson

I take it you didn't watch the debates?

[jnjnelson]

@11111110 What debates?

[11111110]

@jnjnelson

The election debates...remember those? There was a lot of them.

[jnjnelson]

@11111110 You mean, "there were a lot of them"?

Yes, I watched a few "election debates" - my eight-year-old can read, memorize, and recite scripted talking points as well.

The "election debates", as you call them, are not really debates at all - just an opportunity for candidates to attack each other. A debate is when you exchange ideas and principles in the form of rational arguments; the "election debates" are more about verbally assaulting the respective characters of one's opponents.

[11111110]

@jnjnelson

Sure, I'm not completely satisfied with our debate formats either. But I doubt your 8-year old can be expected to memorize an hour-long speech. Neither can most adults on a daily basis, which is why public speakers have been using prompting devices for as long as recited speeches have taken place. But it kind of torpedoes your "no complete sentences" theory.

[jnjnelson]

@11111110 I have no such "no complete sentences" theory; you must have me mistaken for someone else.

[11111110]

@jnjnelson

It's just a couple posts up. "The only time I've heard him speak in complete sentences is when he reads complete sentences. My eight-year old can do that."

That was your post.

[jnjnelson]

@11111110 Right - that was my post. I don't see how anyone could describe that post as a "no complete sentences" theory. My comment is not a theory, it is a description of my experience; it is a simple statement of fact, not a theory.

Mr. Obama might be an excellent orator (he is skilled at performing in front of an audience), but he is proving to be a lousy President. It would help if he focused on protecting and defending the Constitution, instead of circumventing and manipulating it.

[11111110]

@jnjnelson

So, you remind everyone that you rarely ever listen to the president speak, and then expect us to take your views as informed?

[jnjnelson]

@11111110 Who said I rarely ever listen to the President speak? Who said I expect anyone to accept my arguably uninformed views? You continue to put words in my mouth; please stop.

I often listen to the President speak, and he almost exclusively uses some sort of teleprompter. When he doesn't, he seems to me to struggle to use complete sentences. Even ignoring the use of teleprompters, I disagree vehemently with the words Mr. Obama says. His solutions almost always entail government.

[11111110]

@jnjnelson

You said you've never heard the president speak in complete sentences without a teleprompter. Since he very often speaks without a teleprompter, it only led me to believe that you haven't paid him much attention. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

[checkmate110]

@11111110 You are either a child or you are being deliberately obtuse.

[jnjnelson]

@11111110 I know he speaks often without a teleprompter. However, when he does so, his sentences are often as inarticulate as Sarah Palin's, and include grammatical errors and an inordinate amount of "um," "ah," "uh," etc. because he seems not to know exactly how to express himself. In my experience, he is only able to speak coherently in complete sentences (without the hesitation) when he either has the teleprompter, or he has read and memorized a previously prepared set of statements.

[11111110]

@jnjnelson

I disagree, I find Palin's word salads to be far more inarticulate. But I guess that's just a matter of opinion.

[culturehorse]

..empty suit

[Roachenator]

this shows once again..obama should be a professor or teacher somewhere...hard to believe he was elected president

[jimfromctown1]

Boy, the audiance looked bored!

[jimfromctown1]

He needs a telepromtor to talk to children? Yet, he is a bumbling, boring, idiot still.

[quaffer22]

What a PHONEY !!

He can't speak from the heart.

Only through Bill Ayers' or Rham Emanuels.

[Roachenator]

lol he can't even talk to kids without teleprompters....

very sad

[USA4July1776]

LOL! What a loser.

[GrandArchitect3D]

wow. what a dork
