I'm kind of relaxing on my day off today, reading the excerpts from
Michelle Obama's speech.
And then this thought struck me:
I thought Barack was supposed to be some kind of super talented orator.
Hey I've heard the guy speak and under certain conditions he can be mesmerizing. So why is Michelle Obama such a seemingly big part of his campaign strategy? She is at best a wash as far as whether she helps or hinders and has generated her own share of controversy without any help from Rev. Wright.
On the other hand we have a two term president who could have used a
Toastmasters membership and and wouldn't know a thesaurus if it hit him in the head.
G.W. Sure could have used the help from Laura who is much more articulate than he.
And I can't remember one campaign speech from Mrs. Bush.
Is it because it may take something more than the ability to turn a phrase?
Just wonderin'.
And this:
Are Democrats starting to cannibalize themselves?
Just wonderin'.

Why do I get nauseous when listening to her or reading about her speeches?
I will be SO greatful when these elections are over. I don't even talk politics, ever, and I'm tired of the fighting. May God grant us the best of the choices.
Amen Dragonlady!!!
I love it when you wonder - makes for interesting reading :ssgoofywink: !!!!
RYC : Thanks, for the support and the advice. I hear you, I just don't want to hear you right now - know what I mean?
Can't say anything about your wonderin' ..... don't know enough, but hope you are having a fantastic wonderin' day :ssgrin:!!! Thanks for stopping by...
@meganbarnard - Sure do.
This is one way candidates play both sides. Their spouses go out and play to the fringe while the candidates play the center. Edwards let his wife take the potshots at other candidates while he remained "above the fray." After all, who's going to fire back at a cancer patient? Michelle makes the controversial statements, and Barak can look progressive by saying "She has a mind of her own."
What is your AIM id? I've been playing with the video conferencing and that seems to be what you need to connect without using messenger. Had my camera on today, you weren't there :ssgoofy:
@efarns - Good point. Looks like that worked well for Edwards. :ssgoofy:
