Honestly I have never seen anyone get ridiculed for having good reading and speaking skills as much as Obama. With that said, yeah a box set of DVD’s is pretty shitty, he could have at least made the a BluRay. ---

^ He gets ridiculed so much because one of his supporters big talking points was about what a great speaker he is. Then when you see him do a town hall he’s all “um, ah, um”. I’m sorry, that’s not a great speaker. Bill Clinton, as much as I don’t like him, is a great speaker. He has quick wit and sounds the same reading a prepared speech or taking unscripted questions from reporters. ---

I doubt Brown went out and found that pen holder himself, but it looks like he told the people responsible to getting the gift to put a little more effort in than going to [amazon.com](http://amazon.com). “Sweet, Amazon One Click, that will save me some time”. ---

ok seriously, obama is our president, mccain isn’t. this is ANOTHER thing wrong with this country, everyone wastes so much energy bitching about “well IF this” and “IF that”. well guess what, its not, so who why bother talking about it, talk about what IS happening. party lines are ridiculous, fucking let it go. _edit_ and the same goes to all the retards who don’t realise that if things are going to turn around, you can’t just keep taking without giving up things. and what other country gives bonuses to people who fail :picard: [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/obama-on-leno/64802.md?page=2) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/obama-on-leno/64802.md?page=4)
