Be sure and bookmark this link for the next time one of our lovable liberals starts to pop off about Bush's speaking abilities.
You'll laugh ... you'll cry. But you'll enjoy the hell out of it ... until it dawns on you that fifty-some percent of America voted for him.
Barack Obama, the World's Greatest Orator (™all news organisations), didn't exactly cover himself in glory when the BBC's political editor Nick Robinson asked him a question about who was to blame for the financial crisis. Normally word perfect, Obama ummed, ahed and waffled for the best part of two and a half minutes. Here, John Crace decodes what he was really thinking ...
Sad statement though about the intellectual ability of the American voter.

Yeah, but that's what happens when the entirety of the MSM - and his OPPONENT - are too busy salivating over their tingly-legs to ask a candidate an un-telepromptered question...

Obama may avoid a loaded question inartfully or answer in ways that you hate but he is lightyears beyond the stammering dry drunk idiot we had in office the last 8 years.
You can giggle amongst your election losing bretheren about teleprompters while ignoring the other 55 minutes of the press conference. That still doesn't mean the entire country didn't see those other 55 minutes. So you see when the weight of evidence shits on your meme, quit the meme. Or not and keep getting your ass kicked in elections.
Now watch this drive!!!!

What is it with all the links to overseas newspapers? Do you read any American newspapers? Are you living here in America? Just curious is all.

"Do you read any American newspapers?"
The foreign media covers national US politics better than the US media. Its been this way for decades.
