You really need to get off the teleprompter shit. 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.
Do you really think that the DVDs were his idea?
lol, now that is classy.
Does it really matter? They were from him. If you’re going to delegate, you’re responsible for the outcome. 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.
“Sweet, Amazon One Click, that will save me some time”.
I heard about that a while ago. Fucking embarassing. Nice follow up to giving the Russia an “overcharged” button. :wtf:
“Unless” Gordon Brown is some sort of movie buff or something and it was actually a “personal” sort of gift. But either way, seems like poor form.
Ya, I heard about that a week or two ago.
Weren’t the DVD’s NTSC and he couldn’t even view them on their PAL standard DVD players? I thought I heard that as well :lol:

Pretty much eliminates that possibility. They were region 1 disks (US & Canada). :lol:
No. What? Fuck. I quit. Where’s the republican sign up sheet?
The joke was tasteless, but what’s wrong with Republicans? Have they not been praying enough for disabled people lately!? Need to make up for the pain in their hearts by acting offended?
Fuck Amazon. They got these out of the 3 for $10 bin at Walmart.
Probably not even widescreen.
I think he sounds fine when he’s at a town hall meeting. I agree he’s not as good as Clinton but Clinton was amazing at public speaking.
Where was your criticism of Bush’s failure at the mic? Come on find a better avenue to vent your frustration. This petty shit is just that petty. Your making fun at a guy that can speak and read well how pathetic is that?
Ding Ding!
America : A nation of whiners (another example)
I say we get video of Obama bowling if he does look like a retard trying to roll a ball then I said he was just being descriptive.
i saw highlights, i thought it was funny.
he seems like a normal person
SQUIRREL!!
Just take some adderall…you’ll be aiight.
Personaly I dont think it is a HUGE deal, but it was very tacky for him to make a joke about the special olympics. I garuntee you if it were someone like Rush who had said it, he would be in hot water. But such is life. get over it. Obama’s a douche. who cares.
With so much shit going on, he shouldn’t be doing the Leno show. He should be fixing stuff. Man, I barely have free time and I don’t have the full plate that he does! 
You sound like an idiot. If he said “oh that’s gay” you would be pretty offended. Maybe because it was obama he would have another chance, but you would be all over McCain if he said anything.
anyway:picard:
Reality: If McCain made this mistake the thread would be 5x as long with complaining. Anyone who denies this is lying. I’ve seen the threads before and know the way people post on here.
That being said, was it a big deal?
Meh, there are bigger things to worry about.
Was it a fuck up? yes and he prob offended some people.
I don’t want just a regular guy in office, I want someone who is better then that and can represent all of us. Wasn’t Clinton, Wasn’t Bush…could it be Obama?
I’ll wait for something bigger to get upset about unless this turns into a pattern. Guess the world has figured out that he’s not perfect…shocking. He’s still my president and we’ll see how he does, hopefully well so that we all benefit in the end…:eekdance:
:tup: very well said.
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:
