The Nobel prize is certainly a bit of a novelty all things considered, but I do give Obama props for how well he spoke about it when he made his remarks. It's not like he asked for it.

Come on Spence, Obama says this outright every chance he can. |

Even his acceptance speech sounded arrogant to me. Most presidents, would say, "The United States, will not stand idly by while terrorist nations strive for nuclear weapons." but instead Obama speaks as if he is the leader of the world (or a preacher) "The world will not accept the proliferation of nuclear weapons." In matters concerning the rest of the world, when he speaks, he thinks he is speaking for the world and not for the U.S. He has no authority to speak for the rest of the world, and a few countries in Europe do feel he is arrogant and his numbers are not so good over there. Yes African nations, some of the Arab nations and many in South America love him. So many of our enemies and neutral countries like him, while a few of our friends are beginning to dislike him. Add Japan to the list that seems to like him, at least the people do (my mother in law for one)......
THE NOBEL PRIZE RULES STATE THAT IT IS FOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS NOT GRAND IDEAS. EVEN THOUGH I THINK GORE WAS FULL OF SH*T, HE AT LEAST DID SOMETHING, THAT PEOPLE BELIEVE HELPED THE WORLD.
inho,

it would be much funnier if he actually did a good Obama impersonation, that may be one of the worst I've seen on SNL...they've been hilarious with these skits in the past because they pull off the appearance, voice and mannerisms of different figures....didn't see any of that in this....

At least he has the coloration and hair style close but definitely needs larger ears! As stated by scottw: ", voice and mannerisms of different figures....didn't see any of that in this...." and I agree every other mannerism is a poor imitation. Maybe with practice it will get better now that the gloves are off on critiquing of Obama. He has definitely had too long of a honeymoon with the press corp. and the public. |
