    I am not necessarily ant- or pro- Obama, but I tell you what. Last night's appearance on the Daily Show was a complete fiasco for Mr. President. Even the liberal news papers seem to be embarrassed by what happened there...

    I'd really like to know what happened so off to read the NYT article on it!

    The country is in a Depression and this ingrate ignorant dipshit goes on a cable comedy talk show?

    Only in America.

    No kidding. It was embarrassing. The funny thing is, even after the show, which to me was a disaster, some in the audience commented what an eloquent speaker President is.

    What???

    That picture i funny, but inaccurate. In a good puppet show, the strings aren't so noticeable. A good ventriloquist doesn't move his mouth while he feeds words to the dummy.

    To explain and discuss policy from memory requires skill and mental flexibility because you need to think. Few people can do it.

    To blindly read and repeat words on a telepromter requires unthinking obedience, because you don't have to think. Hey, any schoolchild can do that, right?
