Speeches: Not That Important

With Obama, it is always "the speech".  Problem with Reverend Wright, and supporting him for 20 years, deliver a SPEECH.  Do we have a problem with "divisiveness" in this country, and a problem with race? Obama gives a SPEECH on the subject, and people (media) go wild (even though his record does not show he has ever "brought people togeter" in a significant way.). 

Now tonight the media is hyping "The Speech" of Obama's life--on the anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I have a Dream" speech.

 

Dirty little secret:  "The Speech" is not that important.  Sure, you have to make it.  It can give you a quick boost, if people reeally relate to it.  It is still just a SPEECH.  That is what Obama supporters seem to fail to realize.  A SPEECH does not solve the problem of Obama supporting racist hater Wright for 20 years.  A SPEECH does not provide experience for Obaama, or a record he does not have.  A SPEECH does not make up for Obama's EXTREME leftist record in the Illinois legislature, including votes in favor of INFANTICIDE and against widely popular crime measures (see Washington Times article).  A SPEECH is just WORDS.  Words have to be consistent with actions, , and your other words, or they mean nothing.  For example, EVERYONE agrees that President Clinton does not believe Obama is qualified to be President.  He has previously so indicated.  Last night, President Clinton gave a great SPEECH saying that Obama IS ready to be President.  So what. It was just a SPEECH.

 

Therefore, when you hear hype about Obama's SPEECH, remember that it is not that important, in the end.  A speech is merely a speech--read off of a tleprompter.  It is hard to even point to specific ACCOMPLISHMENTS created by King's "You Have a Dream" speech, however it may have inspired people.  Obama is no Martin Luther King, and the JOB he is seeking is NOT as an inspirational leader of African-Americans.  President of the United States is a job having to do with more than words, and being able to read inspiring words off of a teleprompter is a talent only mildly useful to a President.
