Where have you heard the press say that? Whenever I hear the press discuss the way they speak, the general consensus is that Obama is a much better speaker than Hillary...


I heard it on Monday actually. They were running video of weekend appearances where Hillary was throwing assertions and prefab zingers to the crowd and Obama was pausing in mid sentence as he searched for the correct words to discuss the campaign.

A panel of pundits on TV were tearing him apart on it. And thru it all I couldn't help but to notice in the Hillary video that she had those same 2 stooges behind her and then Bill Clinton had the very same strategist stooges behind him at his small town events furiously nodding in agreement to the expected zinger sound bite.

Y'know.. I can't argue with that at all. I can only add to it. She is grating to the ears and the pantsuits are fucking ugly and masculine. Plus her tendency to try to drum up enthusiasm by assuming a half squat and clapping her hands and egging her audience to enthusiasm like a bad metal cover band whereas Obama generates it spontaneously is IMO quite sad.

NBC reported that Hillary cancelled her appearances on the morning shows tomorrow.


That means she isn't sure what she's doing, staying or going. Ben Smith at Politico says "It's a sign of weakness she can ill afford at a moment when questions about whether she can continue are mounting."
