Obama is a great speaker with nothing to say.

I have yet to hear Barack Obama talk about any real issues. He just talks about how the Republicans want us to be scared of him (in one speech he said, "They say, 'watch out, because he's risky. We don't have anything to offer, but he's risky!'" - insert audience laughter here) and uses a lot of buzzwords that don't really mean anything: "change" "this is our time."

Really, from the clips I've seen of Obama's speeches, he would make a better stand up comic. He's always making clever little jokes and making people laugh. It makes him a great public speaker and I think that's why people like him so much.

It drives me crazy how pompous he is. I couldn't believe when he went to Germany and said, "People of the world: now is our time. Now is our moment." Who is he to say 'people of the world' and give a directive? Even the president of the United States can't command the world like Obama apparently thinks he can. And Obama's not even president!
