At least Obama was cognizant that he was having difficulty getting the right words together in that particular case. Self-awareness hasn't been one of the things either Bush or Palin has been cursed with. And I wouldn't mind seeing an ethological analysis of a large ensemble of speaking opportunities from those three. I'd bet that Obama's proportion of complete, grammatically correct sentences would be far and away higher than for either Bush or Palin. He might even beat the added proportions for Bush and Palin. |
Yeah.
Somehow I think there might be something in the 'sounding like' an elitist thing.
To anyone with a half decent languages education having someone as eloquent as Jacques Chirac (giggle) in the White house is going to be a minty fresh taste burst for the ears.
However Caribou Barbie and ex-Pres. Shrub were cynically selected and very carefully constructed personae/masks intended for mass consumption by an equally carefully constructed great unwashed thanks to free as it has turned out unlimited revolving Regan/Thatcher 'credit', 24 hour 'news', actually party propaganda and an education system where any test for actual reality based truth aka 'the scientific method' or *shriek* 'Darwinism" has been etoilated.
They 'sound like' ....erm very plain low grade no name carnival bubble gum incomparison.
Could you get anymore elitist than either of them?
Groomed for power and fed their lines from an early age they are as close as you will get to a monarchy in the so called republic.
Heck self awareness is the enemy, EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT!
Bush was nothing if not the consummate and perfect politician for his masters. Using a mixture of hokey god talk and 'no fat yogurt' magical social reality his internal voices instinctively knew how not to spook the heard(sic).
Using newspeak sound grabs and pumping it through Big Rupert's pipes direct to the speaker in the ceiling while purging the 'public service' apparatus right from school boards up to the skull and bones club of state, military, education and industry almost ensured no one was going to step out of line lest they feared the torches, pitch forks, and assault rifles outside their ivory towers at midnight.
Those simpletons down in the village can be whipped up anytime into a force of righteous indignation by the PTB, GOP or DEM.
So I suggest that Obama get hisself into the Homer Simpson ....uh 'speakering in public skool' school. Oh and send a couple of (small) oil companies broke but not before trading his and his friends shares in them before they go under, smoke some crack mixed with the best sens., get seriously bent for years on the best sour mash whiskey money can buy, learn to fly a jet in a private air force for the very rich chosen few draft dodgers when there is a war going on on the other side of the world, misunderestimate Haliburton's fuel and cafeteria bill in Iraq then suppress the body count to midnight, hook up with Osama's brothers and sisters on a few building projects in the UAE, play a lot of golf with other princes of the republic, go hunting and fishing with the non combatants running the industrial military complex. Accept Jesus (again). Bug everyone for crimethink.
