He sounded like a bad animatronic tour guide at a museum or theme park that was giving a tour to a bunch of 1st graders.

Jindals response was that Obamas plans would grow govt(32 new agencies in stimulus package) raise taxes(well, what do YOU thinks is gonna happen?)
and keep future generations in debt(DUH!!)
...Splain it to me,fellas?:rolleyes:

nice guy, competent govenor, no chance in hell of becoming president.

Well at least Governor Jindal's response was better than an endless stream of platitudes.

But Obama also never sounded like Kenneth from 30 Rock....even back then.

So hilarious. They may as well just have let Sarah Palin do it for crying out loud. At least her terrible performance could have been passed off as Sarah Palin just being Sarah Palin.

In uber right-wing circles, folks like Palin and the Exorcist Jindal are legit, promising, presidential candidates. In reality, they are both absolute non-starters with no chance because they're mostly useless on a national level (and both well in over their heads on that level, a thought which has been born out dozens of times in the last few months) and they completely scare the crap out of the average American.

It was amateur hour.

Funny, that's exactly how I'd describe a senator who held office for 2 years before running for president, never had to finish a term and voted present more often than voting yea or nay.

A fairy tale comes to mind: "The Emperor's New Clothes" Everyone declares Obama brilliant for fear of seeming obtuse. No one can cite a single brilliant thought of any substance -- for platitudes and generalities do not qualify.

You don't need a genius to sign a bill he hasn't read, even if it is worth almost $1 trillion dollars of the yet to be born grandchildrens' money.

Amateur hour like the congressmen who were getting Obama's autograph?

The democrats pulled the no experience card. The republicans, like the true lemmings they are, simply followed suit.

It's okay, my kids will already be paying for a war they would have known better than to start, so what's a little stimulus cherry on top, right?

It's the government. They're spending money when the economy is in the tank to try to help. Color me shocked.

Certainly on the autographs.

The only problem with your latter point is it's that their amateurs can't hold their own on the national stage. The Dems' is the President. The Repubs' have been deservedly laughed off at every turn. Whether Obama had appropriate experience or not, at least he didn't come off like a high school debate team captain when trying to convince the country that he did. So maybe everyone got fooled...but at least he's not a glaringly obvious moron...he's just hiding it better if that turns out to be the case.

OK, so let the Congress tell the truth then:

We have no idea if it will work at all.
We also know we can't ever pay it back since we didn't have any money to pay back the lesser sum we had before this year.
If we can't pay it back the dollar will fail.
To put together this bill we asked every idiot Democrat congressman what he or she wants, we didn't call it an earmark, but we just added it up and produced over a thousand pages no one read.
We got three idiot Republicans in the Senate to go along, so now we can call it bipartisan.
Oh, and even though all we did was add up everyone's pipe dream into one bill, we can feign moral superiority and our condescension toward the average American citizen is well justified.

His former association with the Rev certainly debunks that point.

That about sums it up. There are lots of things the government does that are questions marks at the start...we don't know if they'll work. War. Science programs. Anything. You name it. But we try because someone elected thinks it will work and thinks it's the best idea. That's sort of how these things work. You got me Iraq. I got you this bill.

We'll see how it plays out.

He didn't fool me Brian. I wasn't dumb enough to vote for him. I'm not following the pied piper.

People not named Michelle Malkin obviously didn't care very much about that. In retrospect, it was barely a blip on his radar.

Well I personally don't think he fooled anyone. I don't think he's a moron.

My point was that even if he does turn out to be one...then he'll get some credit for hiding it behind a facade of intelligence...a luxury that neither Palin nor Jindal seem to have. And that's why they are incessantly mocked, because it's obvious that they're both in way over their heads at this level. Obama, if he turns out to be in over his head (and time will tell), fooled the country into thinking he wouldn't be. Again, we'll see how it plays out. It's been a month.
