3. Oh, that's fucking rich
Coming from a guy who had to limit his speeches to 6th-grade-level words, so the Chimp-in-Chief could "enuncify" them. :eyes:

10. Not that his speech was cliched, but...
Even if it was, I'd still prefer it over those jumbled, Orwellian nightmares Bush delivered.

16. Obviously
it included too many coherent thoughts... and it was too full of references to the Constitution, to America's place in the world... and it didn't insult the intelligence by relying on third grade sound bites... of course a prick like this is going to spin it that way.

But what it was... was an oratorical evisceration of his boss' tenure. And it stung smartly. Choke on it you sonuvabitch.
