You pull off the act like a got schtick quite well.
He reminds the yahoos and the mouth-breathers that he's better bred and better spoken than they are. He's a black man who has risen to great heights on a world stage.

OP is one of those really deluded lib s who still thinks Obummer isn't just Bush 2.0.
That was disappointing.
The comments section was good.
Your indecorous language exemplifies perfectly the nature of the "yahoos" and "mouth-breathers" whose breeding and eloquence is far inferior to that of President Obama. Thanks for proving my point.How does it feel knowing that a black man is a better human being than you are?
You can say whatever you want of Obama. You can call him a weak leader; you can accuse him of being indecisive; you can call him out on his human rights violations when he choose to reign down missiles on innocent civilians to take down specific targets.
But one thing you can't do is accuse Obama of being like Bush. The latter is a veritable simpleton. The former, on the other hand, graduated magna laude from Harvard Law. He's much more intelligent and eloquent than Bush will ever be.
where did bush graduate from?
shrub got into Yale and Harvard as a legacy admission, not on his merits, aka, "affirmative action" for 1%ers.
Mr. Obama has put his critics to shame.... TO SHAME.

Oh, please. Even the most eloquent speakers committee gaffes every now and then, especially when they have to travel around the world giving speeches on a regular basis. The difference is that for Bush, this was the modus operandi. For Obama, it's the exception to the rule.

Also, did I mention he graduated magna laude from Harvard Law?
Okay, even I have to admit that was pretty funny.
So did Ted Cruz and Justice Scalia. who cares?
I would hardly think that's a negligible accomplishment, as I'm sure you yourself will find out when you graduate from law school.
Translation:"When red team does it, it's bad. When blue team does it, it's understandable."
Big whoop. Did I mention that he barely worked a day in his life before becoming president?Also, did I mention he graduated magna laude from Harvard Law?
i didn't say its a negligible accomplishment. but when it comes to governing and being a political leader its less relevant. would you take my sports arguments more seriously if i had my JD?I would hardly think that's a negligible accomplishment, as I'm sure you yourself will find out when you graduate from law school.
Straw man fallacy. Please don't put words in my mouth.Translation:
A better translation would be: when Bush does it, it's par for the course. Hence, one can rightly malign him for his tenuous grasp of the English language. But when Obama does it, it cons utes atypical behaviour, because he is ordinarily a well-spoken and eloquent man (his critics would say "professorial" even). Consequently, it can, in all likelihood, be attributed to extenuating cir stances.
you realize you just said that affirmative action is a bad thing
he got that reputation when he was the keynote speaker at the DNC once. as a president and even during debates he mumbles and stumbles as much as anybody
