He is probably one of the worst speakers I’ve heard in the last 20 years..... his um, ah, err’s are a joke. Listen to him on the radio instead of watching him on television and you will hear it all.

Maybe someone adds the “ums”, “ahhs”, and “errs” to the teleprompter script just to #### with Obama.
Glib and cocky as ever, Barack Obama used his State of the Union address on Tuesday night to push his sophomoric and gimmicky socialism. While the nation drowns in debt and the economy continues to teeter, Obama devotes himself to the empty symbolism of the “Buffett rule.” He had the Omaha billionaire’s secretary placed in a seat of honor near the First Lady.
Barack and Michelle are the quintessential champagne socialists, enjoying the trappings of power—the First Lady donned an ostentatious royal blue designer dress that probably cost more than several months of her prop’s secretarial salary—while decrying the excesses of the rich.
The speech was immensely dull, revolving around the usual tedious laundry list of nothing proposals. It made Monday’s sterile Republican presidential candidates debate look stimulating.
Sensing that he needed to offer a few words in support of leaner government, he quoted a line from Abraham Lincoln to the effect that government should only perform those tasks beyond the power of the people. Never mind that most of the proposals in the speech were a violation of this principle. By “shared responsibility,” the jargony phrase with which he peppered the speech, he means a fatter federal government that swoops down and takes responsibility from the people.
