Obama gets hammered in speech reviews


Posted: Sep 7, 2012

Michael Tomasky (left):  Speech was dull, pedestrian, overconfident.

Charles Krauthamer (right):  Empty, meaningless, deceptive.  Numbers pulled out of thin air as empty promises - e.g., he's to create x number of (teaching, green, whatever) jobs but not the slightest idea how.

And even Jon Stewart is beginning to make fun of the Democrats' mindless adoration of Obama.

My review:  Who wrote this speech - Howdy Doody?

;

Even the AP: Obama laid claim to peace dividend - that does not exist.

More flim-flam from The Candy Man.

The difference between the musical Candy Man and Obama is that this Candy Man CAN'T...and hasn't.

He evidently did a lot of lying from what I've heard. - I didn't watch.""" (sm)

Did people expect truth this time? Really? Idiots.

Here's a bone for you guys. Fact check: - True with a BUT. SM

From the Washington Post:

President Obama: "Iâve worked with business leaders who are bringing jobs back to America â not because our workers make less pay, but because we make better products. Because we work harder and smarter than anyone else."

TRUE WITH A BUT â Obama did indeed hold an âinsourcingâ forum earlier this year devoted to businesses who move jobs back to the US.

BUT, the focus on this can be misleading because, as James K. Jackson of the Congressional Research Service has pointed out, there is no evidence to suggest that outsourcing or insourcing has much of an effect on the overall rate of employment.

(The key word in this, of course, being "overall." It certainly affects those of us who don't move on to an industry that's growing jobs.)

Obama's SpeechJul 16, 2012
The official transcript relates: There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me — because they want to give something back. They know they didn’t — look, if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own. I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Le ...

Obama's Incoherent Immigration SpeechNov 22, 2014
By Ramesh Ponnuru "I count three ways President Barack Obama's speech on immigration last night contradicted itself. First, there was the absolutist language he used to justify his policy -- coupled with restrictions that aren't compatible with such language. The argument Obama made for his policy of offering legal status to millions of illegal immigrants was highly moralistic: We're not supposed to rip apart families, we can't deny people "a chance to make amends" and ...

Fact Checking Obama's Budget SpeechApr 22, 2011
Some very interesting info in this article.  President Barack Obama misrepresented the House Republicans’ budget plan at times and exaggerated its impact on U.S. residents during an April 13 speech on deficit reduction. Obama claimed the Republicans’ "Path to Prosperity" plan would cause "up to 50 million Americans … to lose their health insurance.” But that worst-case figure is based in part on speculation and assumptions. He said the GOP plan would repla ...

‘I,’ ‘Me,’ ‘My’—Obama Uses First Person Singular 91 Times In Speech On ImmigrationNov 29, 2014
Leaving aside passages in which he quoted a Chicago pub owner and a letter from a citizen from Georgia, President Barack Obama used the first person singular—including the pronouns “I” and “me” and the adjective “my”—91 times in a speech he delivered in Chicago Tuesday to explain his unilateral action on immigration. But as often as Obama used “I,” “me” and “my” in Chicago this week, it was no match for the ...

One problem, though: The Bible never mentions glass houses. In addition to his b ...
