  • @Ulysses61 some people just can't do a speech off the cuff like that.  A prepared speech might be boring, but it's better than hearing someone go "um um um" all the time

  • Very poorly presented. There is no reason she couldn't have done this off the cuff with notes. Reading a prepared script is deadly boring. She should know this.

  • ok seriously, yes he was a drunk, yes he had faults, but don't we all? look, for all the man's faults, he has ancestors living today, and it is completely unnecessary and unpatriotic to smear the good name of my ancestor. He was a good man, and he fought hard and gave everything he could to support this nation. show some respect.
