I was overseas when Obama gave his momentous Isis address, but figured I could pretty much guess how things would go. Despite being the greatest orator of the last thousand years…
In all honesty one must go with the GröFaz, though that he definitively turned out not to be that, for the orator gig. At least within memory of thousand year realms. Please no Godwin’s Law responses.
Steyn’s remark “One sympathizes with Obama at having to pretend to be interested in tedious briefings about which set of unlovely ingrate natives we should back against the other. He was elected to be the post-war president.” reminds me that George W. Bush warned him as he himself had been warned that you don’t get the presidency that you thought you would, events always interrupt your agenda. But of course you can’t tell Obama anything, he was a better campaign director than his campaign director, he was a better speechwriter than his speechwriters, he knew more about policy on any issue than his policy experts, etc.
Reagan didn’t know him, but described him aptly with “It’s not what they don’t know, it’s the things they know that just ain’t so.”
