Guest American Woman Posted January 25, 2010 Report Posted January 25, 2010 Yes, that must be it. I'm criticizing Obama for speaking to school children. Let's see: "Obama speaking in classroom How Pathetic Is This?" And since I'm already wasting my time with this thread, how about a link to the news article your pic was in? Thanks. Quote
Shady Posted January 25, 2010 Author Report Posted January 25, 2010 Let's see: "Obama speaking in classroom How Pathetic Is This?" It's not pathetic that he's speaking to students. The pathetic part was that he felt he needed to take his teleprompter with him, into a small classroom, to speak to 6th graders. I mean, come on! Link According to AP, it's one of the most emailed photos. Quote

Link According to AP, it's one of the most emailed photos. Did you even read your own link?? Here's what it says: President Barack Obama, accompanied by Education Secretary Arne Duncan, speaks to the media after a discussion with 6th grade students at Graham Road Elementary School in Falls Church, Va., Tuesday, Jan. 19, 2010. Obama was speaking to the media in that photo, not sixth graders. He held a news conference about his Race to the Top program after he had engaged in a group discussion with sixth graders. See photo of THAT here and here. Edited January 25, 2010 by American Woman Quote
BubberMiley Posted January 25, 2010 Report Posted January 25, 2010 (edited) Oh, come on, Smallc. Showing Shady's posts are misleading and delusional is like shooting fish in a barrel. Humour him a little, or he might stop. And then this forum will be filled with boring, moderate, rational discussions. We don't want that.

See photo of THAT here Wow, so he shook some student's hands after he was done reading to them off of the glass fixtures on either side of his podium. Big deal. Just the fact that he felt the need to bring in his telepromter into a classroom to speak, speaks volumes. Do you think other Presidents who were great communicators would do the same thing? Do you think President Reagan, or President Clinton would have to resort to that? Not at all. It's pretty sad. Showing Shady's posts are misleading and delusional Yes, misleading and delusional. Like saying Republican are targeting Harry Reid's senate seat? Or Scott Brown will win in Massachusetts? Or saying Chris Christie will beat Corzine in New Jersey? Or saying that McDonnel will destroy Deeds in Virginia? Delusional like that? How about illustrating that the Dems Are In HUGE Trouble way back in August? Only to have you, and some of your other political hacks tell me how delusional and wrong I was. Yeah, that's what I thought! It's just spin speculating that recent generic House polls showing the Democrats have a 41.2%-37.7% lead might mean the Republicans have a chance to pull ahead in 2010. The Dems Are In HUGE Trouble Was it just spin there Bubber? LOL. Quote

Are you really that dense or dishonest? That photo with the teleprompters wasn't from his discussion with the kids. That was from his news conference in a room set up for that purpose. Again, here he is talking to the kids and here's yet another picture. What's sad is your resorting to lies in your pathetic attempt to bad mouth Obama. You've started 55 threads to date in your attempt to discredit him, and he's just completed his first year in office. Edited January 25, 2010 by American Woman Quote
BubberMiley Posted January 25, 2010 Report Posted January 25, 2010 Was it just spin there Bubber? LOL. No. Just the truth. The Republicans still won't take the house in 2010.

Moonlight Graham Posted January 25, 2010 Report Posted January 25, 2010 At least 66.....39 in the Old Testament and 27 in the New Testament. Really, she has said she has read the entire bible? Oh, also the count is up to 67 books. I assume she read her own book. Quote "All generalizations are false, including this one." - Mark Twain Partisanship is a disease of the intellect.
bloodyminded Posted January 25, 2010 Report Posted January 25, 2010 What is Palin's "level"? How many books have you sold? Technically, Palin has sold zero books: she has never written one.

bush_cheney2004 Posted January 25, 2010 Report Posted January 25, 2010 Technically, Palin has sold zero books: she has never written one. Did you honestly not know this??? Wrong...she is still "selling" them like hotcakes. Did you honestly not know this? Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
bloodyminded Posted January 25, 2010 Report Posted January 25, 2010 Wrong...she is still "selling" them like hotcakes. Did you honestly not know this? She didn't sell anything: her publishers and marketers are selling it. She didn't write it, either. As you know.

No doubt. However, your implication ("ie "how many books have you sold?", you asked smugly, with the monumental ignorance germane to the Palin-supporter) is that supersmart Palin has been skillful at writing and selling her book. When actually, the ghostwriter and the marketers deserve 100% of the credit. Palin zero.

Bullpuckey....I meant exactly what I posted...challenging the notion that Palin lacked public speaking skills. When actually, the ghostwriter and the marketers deserve 100% of the credit. Palin zero.

GostHacked Posted January 25, 2010 Report Posted January 25, 2010 Alright, back for this one more post. This thread has been a train wreck I could hardly peel my eyes away from. http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Politics/The-Vote/2009/0929/lynn-vincent-the-other-voice-behind-the-sarah-palin-book Not that there's anything wrong with that – unofficially, we'd estimate that 90 percent of the books published by politicians are heavily ghost-written. (A notable exception: Barack Obama, whose "Dreams from My Father" was considered by many critics to have real literary merit.) In Palin's case, help came in the form of Lynn Vincent, a senior writer for the conservative Christian publication World Magazine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynn_Vincent Going RogueVincent was hired by former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin to be the collaborator on Palin's memoir, Going Rogue.[7] Upon release, the book immediately hit no. 1 on the New York Times bestseller list.[8].
