Obama's Rhetoric is the Real Catastrophe

Then many of his comments seemed to me like him saying "We need to do what President Obama says we need to do, but do it our way puh-leeze!" The whole thing appeared...just desperate.

The delivery wasn't great, but what he said, I more-less agree with.

Then again, I'm a member of Jindal's party. I'm guessing you're not.

Bear in mind that what Obama and Jindal said was written by speech writers and tested on focus groups. It was anything but contemporaneous and it was anything but meaningful. These sorts of speeches serve one purpose only -- to win public support. These speeches are really a sideshow though, not really important at all.

But some of Obama's speeches are like SNL skits to me.

Perhaps they were trying to give the people what they seem to want. Or maybe they were poking fun.

Yeah. It was like a SNL skit without the humor.

Im not a member of his party. Nor am I a member of President Obama's party. I agree more with our president's party right now though. I was disappointed with Jindal's speech because there were not many clear, stark differences like those that used to exist. Jindal and the GOP seemed to be trying to emulate Obama more so than trying to give serious objective conservative solutions to the crisis we're in. Any good content that may have existed in Jindal's speech was so thoroughly diluted by his imitation that it was probably missed by many people and it was a waste.

There's humor in all of this political stuff.

I can watch Obama and laugh at his speech style and how it seems so played to me at times, but Jindal's funny wore off way too quickly for me.

LOL @ kick ass! Yeah I know. Our party is the best party.

Am I the only person who sings Arrested Development's "Mr. Wendell" everytime I read this? Probably.

Oh...I don't want to have hateration when it comes to Obama and Mr. Jindal because I do see substance in what both were saying. I have the attention span of a puppy though.

Yes. You are the only one. I sing the Rubber Ducky song by Ernie because I think Jindal sounds like him.
