Obama's Words Have turned Boring
Bernard Goldberg September 7, 2012
I didn’t listen to Barack Obama’s speech at his party’s national convention. I couldn’t. I was too busy surfing through 500 channels of crap on cable TV, stopping every now and then to watch absolutely anything that would keep me away from his speech. I just couldn’t bring myself to listen to his “lofty rhetoric” one more time.
The president can talk, I’ll give him that. But we’ve heard it all before. Many times. And, just between us, I’m tired of it. In 2004, even if you didn’t agree with him politically, you had to admit his speeches were moving. Today, they’re boring.
How many times can we listen to this (seemingly) over-confident politician, who oozes coolness and style, tell us about his big, transformational, bold ideas – ideas about how if we only give him four more years, the sun will shine again in America, promises about he will not rest until every American has a good job, declarations about how he would heal the planet and harness the sun and the wind, assurances about how he will make sure families don’t go broke sending their kids to college, and how he will make life better for the poor and the middle class and the veterans and the downtrodden, grandiosity about how he will save our factories and small businesses and our cities and our farms.
Once this was stirring, rousing stuff. Now, they’re just words — empty, tired words.
