He has a better grasp of the English/USA language than the dipstick he replaced.

The smoothest talkers in the recent past have been Reagan (the zipper, the great communicator) and Clinton (the great unzipper, Oxford trained). Bush, while you may love or hate him, would be able to carry a conversation with you without pausing. He had gaffes like the "fool me once" line, but we all do stupid stuff now and then. Obama slipped up once and said 57 states. Am I going to fault him for that one misstep - no, he may not have slept all night worrying about some crisis unbeknownst to us. He cannot, however, speak as smoothly as George Bush. Watch this youtube video about AFO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdqIvFOKyGYIt's not particularly political. Bush talks more or less like an average guy. Obama tries to smooth talk you like he's trying to pick you up at a bar. Obama says "uh" about 31x more often as Bill Clinton (have to find this citation).

I mean, what difference does it make if he says "uh" more often than someone else? Shouldn't people be worrying about finding out where these guys stand on issues and where their funds come from before electing them, instead of worrying about how cool they are/look/sound/whatever? Someone once compared selling candidates to selling any other product on the market, and I guess he was right; avoid the issues and just focus on presenting a pleasant face so people will buy it.

The sad part is you read my post without looking at what I replied to. Does the word context mean anything to you? Please look at the quote to which I responded to. That's the one judging people by how eloquent they are. Did you take any meaning from my post. Look I don't care if they have to use sign language or grunt like apes if they're capable of thinking like Stephen Hawkings. Unfortunately, the leaders we have had as of late make great apes look more intelligent.

Oh, I read his post as well as yours, and I didn't mean to single you out in that; sorry if that was the impression it left. My point is: wouldn't it be more productive to tell him just that (how eloquent they are is irrelevant), instead of going on a meaningless tangent that does nothing to help the situation, and then further wasting your time by offering to search for the source of the "Obama says 'uh' about 31x more often as Bill Clinton"?

In my medical training we rely on evidence based medicine. You can't spew out an argument without supporting data. If I told him flat out usually people object as it being subjective. So I tried to make it more objective showing the video and noting Clinton was much better. What's silly is people who are so in love with Obama they thing he's a good speaker/orator. JFK was damn good - that line "ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country" is notable. Reagan had his city on a hill. Clinton, despite all the trouble he got into, could charm the pants off most men and women. Bush was able to win over quite a few D's in Texas with his charm. Obama, well other than watching Game of Thrones and listening to Beyonce like 1/2 of America I can't see him as being real. Look at he mustard he ordered on AFO in the video - all my African American friends eat plain old Frenches, not the uppity Grey Poupon. So whoever makes those Hope & Change posters must be doing a damn good job

So whoever makes those Hope & Change posters must be doing a damn good job There must be a reason why ALL his school papers are locked down as national security and can't be accessed, unlike reagan's, clinton's, bush Sr's, bush Jr's or why no one remember him as a colleague or student or friend while he was a student. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2512309/posts

Obama has not legalized weed, he just gave guidance to the DEA. You are not a senior until retirement age, hence no retirement, senior citizens discounts or other things they get.

What is retirement age in the US anymore? Pensions are a relic, social security's on the way out... I guess the age you can withdraw from 401(k) without penalty or emergency waiver? That's 62, I think? Irrelevant for some people, though. Maybe non-disability Medicare age?

You must be high right now. Stand outside the white house front lawn and light up, or better yet sell some weed and see what happens

A few minutes of "Googling" regarding the state of obamacare and obama's policy in general would be helpful for this thread
