For some reason, during <strike>Barack’s</strike> President Obama’s speech, I kept thinking what the kids go through in the Obama household. When Obama spoke about hard work, I thought, “I bet those kids NEVER get out of homework!” Which is a good thing. But still it asks the question, what kind of oratory is given when Barack wants someone to pass the slaw? It must be amazing.
I think Obama could read the phone book and it would count as college credit for Graduate work. Ya know?
Oddly enough, when he is just doing banter he has a tendency to pause – sometimes repeat a few words – and THINK while he is speaking.
Great at speeches but he does a thinking man’s rope-a-dope when he is in conversation. I think he probably sounds like most parents when he talks to his kids. Talking and thinking: “Do they know what that means?” “Should I say that?” “Are they buying this?”
