Power Line advises Obama to be just like Bush when he speaks publicly

[meegbear]

Wow, the right wing bloggers are really cracking up over Obama's victory. You don't believe me? Check this post out by John Hinderaker. I know he adores President Bush and thinks he's a genius and all, but this is a remarkable post.

The Importance of Being Careful

Obama thinks he is a good talker, but he is often undisciplined when he speaks. He needs to understand that as President, his words will be scrutinized and will have impact whether he intends it or not. In this regard, President Bush is an excellent model; Obama should take a lesson from his example. Bush never gets sloppy when he is speaking publicly.

He chooses his words with care and precision, which is why his style sometimes seems halting. In the eight years he has been President, it is remarkable how few gaffes or verbal blunders he has committed. If Obama doesn't raise his standards, he will exceed Bush's total before he is inaugurated.

Hinderaker actually believes this. It's weird because most Conservatives do believe that Obama's communication skills served him quite well during the election process. I guess he also missed this latest polling data that says Bush is leaving office more unpopular than Richard Nixon.

And they wonder why America has turned their backs on Conservatism.

1. "Bush never gets sloppy when he is speaking publicly"?

Oh my lord. I assume they're listening to Bizarro Bush, because our Dubya can't string two words together without fucking it up.

5. Bush never gets sloppy? "The people in Louisiana must know that all across our country there's ...

...a lot of prayer -- prayer for those whose lives have been turned upside down. And I'm one of them." --George W. Bush, Baton Rouge, La., Sept. 3, 2008

[damntexdem]

8. So Obama will need to speak of nukular policy?

And his announced domestic policies will include helping people to put food on their families?

This is terrible -- poor Obama will need to unlearn his eloquence. ;-)

with 365 George W. Bushisms. For today, November 11th.: "I'm honored to shake the hand of a brave Iraqi citizen who had his hand cut off by Saddam Hussein." - Washington, D.C.; May 25, 2004.

11. I think that's why McFailin appealed to the repug base

She does "stupid" very well. She's like one of us, they say.........we have some educating to do in this country. How can we ever bring them up to our level? I guess we have half the nation at a third grade level?

12. What is that asshole smoking?

Maybe Obama should take hair grooming advice from Carrot Top, too. :crazy:

[mitchleary]

13. Atleast eight years of Bushism calendars beg to differ

Obama always seems very careful with his words when he is making an important statement. I just don't get these people!

[Ignis]

22. LOL @ "...which is why his style sometimes seems halting."

Or it could be the decades of being a feckin' drunk!

Opinions differ, apparently. :shrug:

23. What a joke. bush single handedly put half the late night comedy show

writers out of work because they didn't need the writers to make shit up.

[trof]

24. "a good TALKER"???

That would be "speaker".
When you and I have a conversation, we're talking.
But when I 'talk' to a group, I'm 'speaking'.
It's a SPEECH I'm giving, not a talk.

25. There seems to have been a whole industry built on Bush's verbal gaffes.
