My, what a shame that Obama can´t write his own. The most intelligent President in the last 4 years must not have the time to put fingers to keyboard. It´s alright, I think I will watch a rerun of Andy Griffith or something else that night.Looking 4 real wisdom.

Hmmm.

There´s something really odd about this man running around taking credit for Obama´s great speechs. There´s something even more unsettling about the fact that the White House is letting him do it. What would Reagan or Bush do with a man like this?

Well, I suppose an appropriate background check would have prevented him from ever getting a job with the White House. His character alone smacks of someone who has no respect for the office of POTUS, or for the American people.

" You remember, back at the inaugural when Obama delivered John Favreau´s great speech . .."

It was a crap speech. The Perfect One therefore could not have written it.

Whoever made that mess, it would get an F in my Freshman Rhetoric class.

Yes, and one of the silliest speeches you´ve ever written (and that´s saying something, given the fact that they´ve all been inordinately silly).

Obama is a lousy orator. His cadence is halting, his intonations are sing-song, his bobble head annoying, even his attempts to mitigate the bobble, resulting in that sinister corner-of-the –eye squint is annoying. All this, topped with his whistling lisp, makes his delivery quirks, rather than his message, the focus. As Marshall McLuhan would say, the medium is the message.

And as to the literary quality of the prose is concerned, well if you have to ask… But then again, in fairness, let us not forget the audience he is playing to, the LoFo’s. To his chosen audience, he’s very eloquent indeed, as judged by election results. Perhaps it’s just the literary prudes among us who begrudge him.

I thought most was written by Lincoln.

Oh! So you are the one responsible for inserting the phrase "Peace in our time" into an inaugural address? Neville Chamberlain should ask for credit. Of course the message of appeasement fits the administration so well that perhaps that was not a slip. I was not a valedictorian. In fact I got a "D" in Modern European History, but at least I remember the significance of Chamberlain´s appeasement (55million dead). I think that bust of Churchill wasn´t sent back to London, it grew legs and ran away.

Weird. The guy is taking "credit" for that interminable fusillade of meaningless cliches combined with assertions stolen directly from whatever Directorate of the Soviet Union it was that used to crank out anti-American propaganda? Were I Favreau, I´d be hiding out in the bushes somewhere with a bag over my head, not parading my ignominy to HuffPo.

His age reflects all of the errors made when history of the US is part of the speech. He was well under 30 when he began his tenure with jugears........the ´won´ doesn´t know any US history either.

Yeah, Obummer is so freaking gifted and smart that he has to hide his college transcripts.

Obamaham Lincoln doesn´t need to write his own speeches or his own autobiography. That´s what the little people do. Beyonceee understands.

The Won, has delivered over 1000 speeches since 2009. The Press has reported most of them as the best, or most decisive, or historic or gushed over aratorical genius and breathtaking significance.

Yet when pressed can anyone remember a thing he has actually said? Any "tear down this wall" or "Fourscore and seven" or "ask not what.." or even an "I am not a crook" moments? Anything anyone will care to recall even 5 years from now, or even next week.

Great orators are remembered for WHAT they say more so than for how they said it. Obama reads a nice teleprompter, but his words are empty of meaning and utterly vacuous.

There is not a public dump in all the country large enough to hold all the drool buckets the press will need to toss in 2016.

How can those speeches, particularly this one, be great speeches when so many of us cannot STAND to listen? The reporters are under some kind of spell, perhaps drug-induced.

It is odd for Favreau to be so public about the speech. He´s been O´s top speechwriter for over seven years, having worked for Kerry until that time.

Favreau, a Holy Cross polisci major, like his boss, has never seemed to be well grounded in US history, let alone world history. Missing the Chamberlain line is pretty telling.

Glad that´s out I thought Ayers wrote the speech.....

Excuse me??? FOX NEWS told us the venerated Won himself wrote the speech.

That drivel was written by a guy who was photographed feeling up a cardboard cutout of hillary clinton.

Now we know where the scum came from.

Is this the actor/writer dude of "Swingers"? Really? Who´s writing The Won´s State of the Union address? Matt Damon?

Obama said nothing better than any other president.

The phrase "fair shot" sticks in my memory. I visualize a basketball sailing through the air trying to find it´s way to a hoop. That´s what the One meant, isn´t it?

I can imagine how difficult it was to write statements that would attempt to please both sides of all issues. It wasn´t successful none the less. Sorry! We saw through it.
