He came to Montgomery County Community College. The event was supposed to be indoors, but too many people showed up, so it was held outside. It . . . was . . . cold . . . and my female friend and I weren't bundled up enough to stand out there for 2 hours plus, but we did so anyways.

Dang, that guy can flat out communicate and connect. The ease with which he does so puts both current candidates to shame.

'Twas worth the shivers for me and my friend.

How could you see anything with that black hood the Secret Service put on you as they took you down? Next time, for God's sake, don't start screaming, "I sexed Ann Romney" while not wearing pants! :p

The principle of GIGO is relative, sometimes one mans trash is another another man's treasure. And if IGBT improperly rejects treasure and confuses it garbage, the garbage is in is confined only in the minds of idiots like IGBT.

As IGBT also conveniently forgets, ole ex President Bill Clinton balanced the budgets with wise political policy. Which somehow ? proves the IGBT assumption it was total garbage is totally flawed.

Think think think, IGBT, or is rational thinking totally beyond your mental capacities?

Yup, and since Clinton we have had several shitty Presidents/candidates to pick from...Bush, Gore, Mccain and Obama. None of them are terribly inspiring on their own merits. The only thing Obama had/has going for him is the "different" factor of being not white [and oh boy did the media run with it!]. Bush ? I wont even go there, as bad as Bush was, Obama is atleast better than THAT.

Clinton was my favorite President though. The man atleast appears to KNOW what he is talking about and not just reading a script, he even had his teleprompter offline for a hour once and "winged" his speech. He knows his stuff...Obama when he loses his teleprompter turns from a good speaker into a bumbling fool who obviously forgot his lines.

Absolutely, the man is a great speaker. I'm still touched by his poignant line at the DNC.

You see, we believe that &#8220;we&#8217;re all in this together&#8221; is a far better philosophy than &#8220;you&#8217;re on your own.&#8221;

All Barrack Obama had to do was campaign on that. He didn't need anything else. I felt he and all of his staff were too stupid to see what Clinton had given him.

As peonyu says, " Obama when he loses his teleprompter turns from a good speaker into a bumbling fool who obviously forgot his lines. "

Which may be a great GOP myth, but in my MHO untrue. As I watched Obama give a great off the cuff explanation to Joe the plumber on taxation policy. As the first politician that made heavy use of a teleprompter was none other than the so called great communicator in President Ronald Reagan.

Obama may not be a natural public speaker, but there is a great deal of thought and genuine thinking behind what he says.

peonyu, please do not confuse Romney and Sarah Palin type slogans with real thinking.

He's a great communicator because he really likes people, he likes politics and he loves to be the center of attention.

In fact I'd really enjoy seeing a friendly and long debate about current politics between Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich.

The liberal worldview encompasses the totality of existence. Every fact and interconnection falls within its purview, so it has immense complexity. Taking it out of an in-depth intellectual lecture format and compressing it for pithy oration takes talent.
Just as not every physicist could have written A Brief History of Time, not every intellectual is able to turn a phrase like Jon Stewart or Bill Clinton and give an idea the appearance of being internally sufficient. As the support is actually external, it's not even a fully intellectual honest accounting. So why the hell would you take its absence as being meaningful?

On his best day, President Obama will never have an edge on Clinton. He's too smart not to hold his cards close to the vest.

Now tell me that President Obama has his hands up the mainstream media's ass, that I believe... then consider how appreciably harder Bill Clinton's job was made by the press. Obama would wilt under real pressure, just like the Wizard of Oz.

It's funny seeing so many right-wingers suddenly waxing nostalgic for the Clinton days. I seem to remember them viewing him differently at the time.

That's very true, it's because we've now seen that as bad as slick willy was, he was still lightyears better than the current disaster. Ah, the good old days :D
