Althouse: Obama, tired, gets lost in a sentence and knows it.

December 16, 2016

Obama, tired, gets lost in a sentence and knows it.

It was a long press conference today.

Why can't a President, like an ordinary person say I lost my train of thought!?

Amadeus 48 said...: To be fair, he was lost inside his head in the transition from "I am a hero" to "I am a victim".

...a greater threat to democracy than a tax increase disguised as healthcare

Mick said...: You mean this doesn't mean anything "law prof"? The putative President is involved in creating a fraudulent Birth Certificate, which was easy to see from the beginning, but the media demonized anyone who talked about it or ignored them. It is NOW A FACT. Will you blog about it? or will you continue to protect the Usurper from your perch in the Ivory Tower of Academia?

How does a pizza Shop owner get to be one of the "50 most influential people in DC"? Why does a pizza shop owner meet in the White House with the Usurper? Why does the owner of a "family pizza shop" have perverted sexual references (including "chicken lover") on his public Instaram? Why are bands like "Sex Stains" performing at a "family pizza shop"?; 12/16/16, 4:21 PM

rcocean said...: Obama is tired? Tired from what? He's a lame duck and its the Holidays. Its not like he's just got back from meeting Churchill and Stalin at Tehran.

Usually, when Pols like Obama "lose their train of thought" in these formal press conferences its because they forget the canned, pre-scripted answer and then have to search their memory banks for an acceptable one.

At one point Obama thanked the American people and then said "More importantly," and then stopped for 15 seconds and then corrected himself and thanked his press secretary. Being Tired or a freudian slip? You make the call.; 12/16/16, 4:40 PM
rcocean said...: I've never been impressed with Obama as either an "off the cuff" speaker or as a formal speech maker. He always seems to speak so slowly as if he's searching for the right word or more precisely make sure he's not letting his true feelings and beliefs come out. Of course, I don't think "off the cuff" speaking is that important to being a good President.

But you can just imagine what the MSM would've said if Reagan or Bush II had lost their train of thought like Obama did.; 12/16/16, 4:46 PM

Even so, he's not running for anything so there's no reason other than either habit or ego that kept him from just saying, "Sorry, but could you repeat the question?"; 12/16/16, 5:27 PM
John henry said...: Blogger Amadeus 48 said...

To be fair, he was lost inside his head in the transition from "I am a hero" to "I am a victim".

Like everyone else, he never goes to "I am a villain".

I sort of supported Obama in 08 though I really liked the idea of Sarah Palin wielding the gavel in the Senate.

I strongly supported him in 12 against the odious, more-of-the-same, Romney.

If we had not had Obama, we would not be set for what looks like a liberal (as in classical liberal) revolution that I see coming. we would have just kept rolling downhill like a minecart headed for Hell. Romney might have made the seats a bit more comfy or improved the drink service. He might even have slowed it down marginally. Maybe we would have run off the cliff in 6 years instead of 3.

We still would have run off the cliff.

Obama gave us Trump and what looks like it will be a liberal, smaller government. I am very impressed with his appointees so far. Imagine David Friedman, who used to call himself an "anarcho-libertarian" (does he still?) in the govt! The former head of Exxon who has actually been there and done that and knows how to accomplish stuff as SoS! Ben Carson at Hud. Ted Cruz on the Supreme Court (Dare I dream?)

None of this would have happened without President Obama. Did he overreach on purpose or from incompetence? It doesn't matter at all. The end result is the same. Had Ron Paul been elected and been able to accomoplish all he wanted, we would not have gotten as far along the liberal road as I see us getting with Trump in very short order.

I think in future years we will look back at President and realize that he was exactly the man we needed for these past 8 years.

Lenin was not right about much but he was right about one thing: "Worse is better" Meaning things have to get really bad to get people fed up enough to move off their comfort cushion. Obama did it.

Thank you President Obama. We are forever in your debt.

Kansas City said...: I think Obama is a fascinating guy who, despite being president for 8 years, has remained something of a mystery as to motivations and thinking. I don't necessarily mean that in a negative sense. My guess is that he is a smart highly ambitious guy, with a mind molded by a weird and radical mother, no father, highly liberal education and then the liberal mindset of the south side of Chicago. But it could be something playing at a higher level.

Even his speech is very interesting. I have no proof, but I always thought his usual voice, accent and speaking style has some unusual positive affect on listeners that helped his political career - it made his teleprompter speeches much better.

In his extemporaneous speaking, I have generally been impressed by his smarts in saying stuff that always almost always left him an escape hatch and otherwise avoided trouble. He is a very calculated extemporaneous speaker, which you don't see all that often. And, he is smart enough to pull it off. Today, he looked bad. I think it started out as his normal very calculated speaking, then he did lose track of where to go as he realized he could not say something real critical of Trump, and recovered with something that did not make much sense but was a scaled down version of what he was thinking about in terms of criticism of Trump.; 12/16/16, 7:51 PM

Meade said...: "OH and Hillary will never be President! "

And someone else, someone good, we hope, not Hillary, someone like Freeman Hunt hopefully, will become our nation's first female POTUS. Plus, the Clintons are forevermore nevermore. Best Christmas ever since. Ever since Nov. 8, I haven't smiled this much ever since finding a pair of puppies and a Red Ryder BB Gun under the Christmas tree.

mccullough makes a good point though. Unsuccessful as he was, Obama could have been far worse. And W. should've been a lot better than he himself was. Trump had better be good. It feels like we're due for a good one. Still, just the getting rid of the Clintons alone instantly made America so much greater and more optimistic again it makes me want to hop in my jet plane and conduct my own thank-you tour to demonstrate my sincere appreciation for everyone who helped stop the Clintons last month. ...and you and you and you and, yes, even you...; 12/16/16, 8:08 PM
Kansas City said...: I'm not certain the Clintons are gone. I realize she is an old 69 and will be an old 73 in 2020, but I think one of the first subjects of discussion in Clinton world the day after was what is the best available path to the presidency in 2020.

Chuck said...: I was in disbelief after hearing that Obama cited a poll in which 37% of Republicans expressed approval of Vladimir Putin.

I looked it up. The Economist and an outfit called "YouGov" teamed up for the survey. And yes, the number was correct. (5% "Very Favorable and 32% "Somewhat favorable." Meanwhile, Dems were at 12% approval -- 2% Very and 9% Somewhat -- in the same polling date.)

https://d25d2506sfb94s.cloudfront.net/cumulus_uploads/document/ro9rimrce9/econTabReport.pdf

What is that all about?

I know that we could probably find some very embarrassing polling for Dems over the years; approval numbers for Castro, or Chavez, or Daniel Ortega, or Che Guevara, etc.

But I can't figure out any easy or facile defense of the 37% number for Repubilcans. Wtf?; 12/16/16, 10:02 PM

It is clear that Obama without a teleprompter is a pretty face. Only idiots like you think he is actually outside of 1 standard deviation in intelligence. Obama when unfettered also comes off as a total D-bag. Anyone who voted for him should be embarrassed. But most of the people who voted for him voted for Hillary as well and proved they have no soul.

It will be fun watching not only lefties heads explode over the next 8 years of the Trump presidency but watching the traitorous fucks like George Will and Krauthammer and Kristol pretend they were behind Trump all along.

90% of the writers at NRO should commit ritual seppoku on lie TV to absolve their shame.; 12/16/16, 10:24 PM
wildswan said...: Michelle said the country was now "hopeless" and she was too. And Obama looks totally drained. Hillary is hiding. Bill is hiding. James Comey is hiding. The climate changers at the DOE are hiding, The offices of the NYT are for rent. The CIA refuses to explain its statements to Congress. The "faithless elector" is a phony.

After causing Hillary to lose in important states, Jill Stein proved that cheating is epidemic in the Detroit vote. Unfortunately for her, she is not a Republican so her exploits have garnered no applause.

Around the shining tree, good little Republicans gather each night and raise their voices in merry song:

I am not sure if the Dems and FBI, etc. are scared the jig is up and they will be prosecuted for everything they have done.
That's why they have set up the Fake News mantra. They will claim everything is fake news that Trump uncovers. There is going to be an avalanche of real "fake news".; 12/16/16, 10:58 PM

No. He's simply emoji-ing it in.; 12/16/16, 11:02 PM
Achilles said...: The voter rolls are going to get cleaned up. There is going to be voter ID in enough states to ensure electoral college victory if it isn't passed nationally before 2020. 2018 is going to see 10 democrats in the senate defend in states Trump carried. There is a solid chance Trump will have filibuster proof majority in the senate in 2018. If you look at the electoral map we are heading towards a permanent 60-40 republican senate majority. There are 30 red states. Period.

In 4 years the climate change movement will be politically dead. They will be forced to defend their science in open forums. They will fail miserably and pop like festering zits. Mitt Romney the traitor hardest hit.

The IRS is going to be cored out like a rotten pumpkin. The EPA is going to melt like they imagined the glaciers would... but didn't.

12/16/16, 10:51 PM

Stein garners no applause because her intention was to overturn the election in 3 swing states, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, and create the opening for Clinton to be declared president. Stein certainly had no noble intention of exposing voter fraud- That was just an embarrassing reveal of the con.; 12/17/16, 4:05 AM

AllenS said...: If Obama is as smart as some people say, then those institutions of high education that he attended would have put all of his college grades and records on public display. But, they didn't, and the reason they didn't is because they were embarrassed for him. There is no other reason for their hiding all of his records, but to simply hide his affirmative action promotions.; 12/17/16, 6:46 AM

Obama sucking all the juice from the Democratic Party, with help from the ever-graceful Althouse, is exactly what was needed to prevent mass executions of kids, females, and duders by those same now impotent, juiceless proggies.

Rience Preibus will be recorded by posterity as a masterful political triplo-genius.; 12/17/16, 7:15 AM
Guildofcannonballs said...: "The turd said we should unite as one then in the next sentence he says Republicans are to blame for the ills of the country and Trump is part of those ills.

Typical Obama, loser extraordinaire!"

Just like Alan Keyes thinks Obama wants to sexualize 5 year olds, heck turn them queer and junk too so nobody is repressed, especially adults who want 5 year olds sexualized. Ha ha ha OBAMA didn't know what to tell Keyes, the idea is so so preposterous and deviant.

"But it's the right thing to do."

Because more teachers and more money and more power for the Democratic Party.

--Then he said: “I remember Alan Keyes—I ran against Alan Keyes—but I remember him using this in his campaign against me, saying, ‘Barack Obama supports teaching sex education to kindergartners.

“And you know,” said Obama, “I didn’t know what to tell him. But it is the right thing to do, to provide age-appropriate sex education, science-based sex education in the schools.”-- http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/obama-sex-ed-kindergartners-right-thing-do; 12/17/16, 7:23 AM

No, I don't think so. Shiloh and ARM don't sound at all alike. Unknown displays the same writing style, reliance on long quotes from leftwing sources, illogic, and lame, unimaginative insults as Inga did, and Inga was also fond of frequently changing her nic, so thinking Unknown and Inga are the same person is not a reach. But I don't believe Shiloh and ARM are one and the same.; 12/17/16, 9:31 AM
