YouTube - Krauthammer: Obama's Town Hall Answer Longer Than Gettysburg Address
Charles Krauthammer on the presidents jibber-jabbering:
I dont know why your surprised. Its only nine times longer than the Gettysburg Address. And, after all Lincoln was answering an easier question on the higher purpose of the union and soldiers that fall in battle. Look the president had an easy answer. He could have said, Hey I wanted to make history with health care and to do it and to make the CBO numbers look OK I had to raise your taxes. Sure its not a good time economically in the middle of a recession but politically I had to because I have a window a majority in Congress and Im going to lose in November. End of answer.

He didn't. He went to medical school and was paralyzed in a diving accident his freshmen year. His legs might not work... but he makes up for it in brain function.
Krauthammer is paralyzed and uses a wheelchair. His life experience of overcoming his disabilities is quite inspiring.
Albeit irrelevant in to the OP.
So when did Kraut-man serve?
We have elected Polonius. I wonder if, when he left Netanyau all alone in a room, he wasn't really hiding behind the drapes.
Wasn't a speech, it was an answer to a question, the kind you are supposed to be able to answer in about 2 or 3 minutes, not over 17.Is the point of this thread to complain that Obama gives long speeches?
If so, BRAVO!
So, you admit you are the target audience, interesting.He knows his audience is mostly uneducated and ignorant.
Kraut-man is being deceitful as usual. He knows his audience is mostly uneducated and ignorant.rl=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3w32hdKu3I]YouTube - Krauthammer: Obama's Town Hall Answer Longer Than Gettysburg Address[/url]

When Lincoln spoke at Gettysburg, he wasn't even the main speaker. Edward Everett was. Everett was the nation's foremost orator at the time. All speeches were extremely long---hours. Lincoln made a few remarks.
context. whenever assholes like Kraut-man say something, think about the context of their examples. Usually they are deceitfully deceptive and downright dishonest.
[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]Note on the Gettysburg Address[/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]by H.L. Mencken[/FONT][FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]The Gettysburg speech was at once the shortest and the most famous oration in American history...the highest emotion reduced to a few poetical phrases. Lincoln himself never even remotely approached it. It is genuinely stupendous. But let us not forget that it is poetry, not logic; beauty, not sense. Think of the argument in it. Put it into the cold words of everyday. The doctrine is simply this: that the Union soldiers who died at Gettysburg sacrificed their lives to the cause of self-determination that government of the people, by the people, for the people, should not perish from the earth. It is difficult to imagine anything more untrue. The Union soldiers in the battle actually fought against self-determination; it was the Confederates who fought for the right of their people to govern themselves.[/FONT]
The South, he claimed, was "almost as sterile artistically, intellectually, culturally, as the Sahara Desert culturally about as dead as the Yucatan." After referring to the South as a "gargantuan paradise of the fourth-rate" he declaims: "There is not a single picture gallery worth going into, or a single orchestra capable of playing the nine symphonies of Beethoven, or a single opera-house, or a single theater devoted to decent play." Mencken goes on to bemoan the regions paucity of writers, scientists, historians, philosophers and intellectuals in general.

Talk about revisionist history!!! ROFLMAO!!!!!

Any honest person would have to admit that all recorded history is revisionist in nature.
What Mencken claims is supported by intellectual honesty. Mencken was no fan of the South of his day nor would he be a fan of the South today (IMNSHO). Mencken's comments on the Confederacy are an intellectual exercise in honesty. Your comments need a context, for without a context your comments make you look like an ass.
Do you not agree that the Confederacy was fighting for the right to own slaves and engage in the slave trade in the slave states and the new territories?

Teleprompter malfunction. His incoherent rambling always gives it away. Time to fire his old Teleprompter.
Libocalypse never disappoints.
God forbid a politician should explain exactly what he means, and not use short little media-friendly talking points.
Obama's rambling, near-incoherent 17 minute response was shocking in its revealing of how little this president understands most of what is developing around him.
