[Stevie30]

[E30 Cabrio]

Why can't you take a joke

You're posing a false argument.

Why do you still beat your wife?

[joshh]

That could have been so much better.

[Ray Smoodiver]

Bahaha nice one

[SamE30e]

Nice, got a good laugh in the morning. Down to fuck lol

If someone posted about domestic violence, and I said why doesn't the media focus on Obama hitting Mrs. Obama, then you might have a point.

I just don't see why we all can't have a laugh about this obvious joke instead of saying dems are idiots and it's a liberal media conspiracy.

I thought it was funny anyway.

[dinanm3atl]

I am a 'right winger' and I thought it was hilarious. I mean it actually says "Alicia is DTF". roflmao

[HiTheNameIsBJ]

Funny.

I found the above "teleprompter" link funny also.

[E30 Cabrio]

Funny.

I found the above "teleprompter" link funny also.

Which proves my point - one is factual, one isn't.

The one that isn't factual is just typical of the left and the media - they create the illusion that anyone who doesn't share their political opinion is "stupid" without any evidence other then taking words out of context, smears and lies.

They did it to Reagan, Bush 1, Bush 2, Palin, etc...

Remember, Reagan was a "Dunce"?
Bush 1 a "Wimp"?
Bush 2 an "Idiot"?
Palin labeled as "Dumb"?

Then they take this dope Obama who can't speak the difference between a breathalyser and a respirator without a teleprompter and then they make him out to be the smartest man of Earth, and an intellectually lazy public falls for it because the handsome man or the pretty lady on the TV says so?

(Remember when they used to say Hillary was the smartest woman on Earth?)

Ironic coming from someone talking about Philadelphia, which had a 110% voter turnout in the 2004 Presidential election, overwhelmingly voting Democrat.

So you defend the stuff that Palin says?

Okay, just checking.

When was that video taken? Sometime during the height of the campaign? That might explain quite a bit then.

.....only because it seems to be all the rage as of late:

Many commentators were struck by the level of erudition Senator Obama employed in his speech. For example, Newsweek's Howard Fineman asked, "Did the blockheads understand it?" Not wanting to sound elitist, Howard quickly added that of course, everyone is a bit of a blockhead. I do not know if everyone understood the speech or not, but I do know that it is a pleasure to have a candidate running for the highest office in the land who is not only not trying to pretend to be dumb and inarticulate but rather willingly showing he is, in fact, smart as hell.

Obama's "A More Perfect Union" speech was not unlike his insightful and somewhat erudite books - Dreams of My Father and The Audacity of Hope - with one large exception: Relatively few people will read Obama's books but many have been (or may be) exposed to his historic speech.

Computers have made it rather simple to determine the intelligence or grade level of a speech by measuring it with the Flesch-Kincaid test, which is found on the Tools/Options menu of Microsoft Word. This widely-employed measurement device determines the degree of difficulty of the written (and spoken) word.

Enterprising linguists and others have applied the test to a wide variety of material. For instance, the folks at youDictionary have tested the inaugural addresses of presidents. They discovered that no president since Woodrow Wilson has come close to delivering speeches pitched at a 12th grade level. Bush II's first inaugural address was at a 7.5 grade level, which ranked him near Eisenhower's second address (7.5), Nixon's first (7.6), LBJ's only (7.0), and FDR's fourth (8.1). Clinton's two addresses, by contrast, scored at the 9th grade level (9.4 and 8.8 respectively).

I tested Obama's "A More Perfect Union" speech and it scores at a 10.5 grade level, which by current standards is in the stratosphere. But maybe he was being too smart to win the presidency.

That's all very interesting, and it might actually mean something if any of those guys actually did more than read off a teleprompter. None of them write their own stuff. And if you knew anything about mass communications, then you know to talk at or below the level of your audience or you risk being misunderstood. In this case, Obama used a bunch of flowery words and concepts to obfuscate what he really means. I mean, because if it sounds good and it sounds smart, then it must be good and it must be smart... right? I have this really cool bridge I want to sell you too.

Sounding smart and being smart are two different things.

Obama supporters just want to feel like they will be taken care of by this wise and charismatic man. So he gives them speeches that appeal to their arrogance.

Obama is just as much an idiotic, condescending, slimy, backstabbing, unethical slut as all the other politicians on the hill.

Obama's inaugural speech was nowhere near historic except in the sycophantic media's opinion. It really was a bunch of blather.

And I thought a few things in the joke were funny, actually.
