Obama talks like Jeff Goldblum sometimes. |
|
Not the Big Chill character, the Jurassic Park one.
Um, Chaos theory would say, um, that infinite recombinations of, uh, uh, uh, gene sequences could lead to, uh, an infinite regress of variation (raise eyebrows).
Obama goes into this mode sometimes in debates or interviews. It can be charming or enhance the sense of deliberateness/intelligence, but it can also seem passive and unsure. None of the other candidates of either party seem to do this. I think it is a bad habit.

I have a hard time focusing when he does that monotone with run-on sentences...it's hypnotic, but not in a good way. Kinda like a noise machine that repeats a tone to put you to sleep.

7. I noticed that in the Press Conference. |
|
I was drifting off during the first minute.
I guess MSNBC did, too, because they cut away very quickly.
I usually read the transcripts of his speeches. I should pay more attention to the live broadcasts.

4. the jurassic park character is more interesting than Bo is in debates. |
|
for sure. to me it is not charming or intellectual, it seems like he's struggling. and i really don't know why, he's obviously so intelligent.

8. Prehaps his mind is faster than his mouth, |
|
Which is a nice change from Bush. Obama is a brilliant man.

:spray: But what do I know.
According to the corprat news, since I am an Edwards supporter, I tend to be angry, not very educated and of a lower economic status.
Well one out of three ain't bad. :mad: :silly:

9. And according to coprophagia news, Hillary supporters share the same demographic |
|
We aren't educated. We aren't intelligent. We are working class dross.
However, like Edwards supporters, we have a revulsion for media-created phenomena, and are blessed with an abundance of common sense. :)

12. So you oppose a candidate who can actually think |
|
and talk using multi-syllable words.
