Someone spewing lies at a rapid clip does not impress me. Nor do I find someone taking their time to think through something disappointing. Unsurprisingly, we heard the same dog whistles about Obama pausing during his remarks.
Oh for the love of God not every single thing is a fuckin dog whistle.
Obamas speech pattern and cadence was intentional. It gave added emphasis where he wanted it. He was an elegant orator that put George Bush, Trump, Biden and honestly most other speakers to shame.
Not many people could be identified by their speech pacing alone. Obama and Christopher Walken are two I can think of off the top of my head.
Fuck the people who talked shit about Obamas pausing. I would kill to have a world leader who spoke so clearly and intentionally again.
After the first 4 years of "I'm just making shit up as I go" Trump and the last 4 years of gibberish Joe I am not looking forward to the next 4 years of "I'm still making shit up as I go, but now with some dementia sprinkled in there" Trump.
Did you forget to change to your second account when making this post?
...no? And I'm not really sure what you're implying to be entirely honest.
Because your two comments in this nested thread sound like you're trying to manipulate.
Manipulate what or who exactly?
The people complaining about the way Obama spoke were using dog whistles. That's the point you seem to have missed.
People on this website seem to constantly underestimate the intelligence of others and proceed to talk down to them.
I am aware they were saying people were using dog whistles. They also used the word same right before dog whistles which implies they were calling what I said a dog whistle as well. Which it wasn't.
Winston Churchill had a very distinctive style and he used it very effectivly.
He's a little before my time but I have seen some videos. I get what you mean.
Dude was prime minister 80 years ago champ. He’s a little before all of our time.
Hey I don't wanna exclude the possibility that someone's great grandparents are in here lol
