Let's see: Obama CAN'T be too cool, cold, uppity, professorial, wordy, serious, mean, angry..... |
|
Edited on Fri Sep-26-08 07:15 PM by FrenchieCat
But he must be Presidential, in charge, concise, no Humms, answer everything question just right, be clear, etc., etc...
Funny how he's given so many rules that he is too follow. :shrug:
The good thing is Barack has been under this pressure to perform many times in this campaign.
He'll do well.

8. Isn't it nice to have a candidate you don't need to worry about? |
|
Not even Freepers would joke that he needs a Bush-style earphone.

16. The asshats at Insanity were saying |
|
Obama was bringing his own teleprompter. About five posts in a common sense person asked for a link. It went on for forty plus posts before anyone would admit it was B.S., then it was by a person who said he knew it was a joke, he had previously posted that Obama can't speak without it and would likely have a wire.
Lesson - Don't underestimate the fucking stupidity of Hannity and Rush listeners.

9. funny how many of them are synonyms for "smart" |
|
What they really mean:
"Obama must come off as dumb and hickish as he can. Redneck if possible, but not street-thuggish. Not too black. So, not smart and also not black. He must use short words and make sure he includes lots of insults and zingers against McCain. But not so many that it makes him look like he's disrespecting McCain, which he must never ever do, even though McCain's convention was full of nothing but mockery of Obama."
"As for McCain, well, he just needs to let 'the real McCain' shine."
* * *
Blah.
The great thing about Obama is that he confounds expectations. He'll do great.

11. Why can't Obama close the deal? |
|
Why doesn't he connect with ordinary Americans? Why was he born?

13. Obama will be just fine and, as far as I am concerned, he will |
|
be 10 times the man McChicken McNugget will be or is. I still predict that McCrazy will lose his temper and go ape shit on live TV.
I can't wait! :evilgrin:

20. His sister was interviewed recently and said he has ALWAYS been |
|
very calm and self-possessed, even as a child. She said she had NEVER EVER seen him angry, even when she used to be an annoying nudge of a little sister, lol. She said that calm, unflappable demeanor is just the way he is. Which is what we need in a president.

15. My personal favorite, "why is he too exoti?" what the hell does that mean |
|
Exotic? That he was born in Hawaii? That he is half african american and half white? Its 2008, get over it already MSM!

17. I agree the bar keeps getting raised on Barack. |
|
It's definitely happened. He always clears it though. It's been pretty amazing to watch.
