Question

Does Obama sound more like a pastor at the Democratic National Convention than a presidency candidate?

Answer 1

He sounded like most Democrats, offering things without having any idea how we can pay for them.

Answer 2

I don't know. It's against my religion to watch political conventions.

Answer 3

Here.....we.....go....again.

"Let's find all of Obama's faults, as seen by those who don't want him as president."

Answer 4

Since Obama only said one thing from the Bible in a 50 minute speech - and didn't even cite it saying the book, chapter and verse he simply said "from the scriptures.

No, he didn't.

Answer 5

I wasn't impressed by Obama's speech tonight. Did he sound like a pastor?  Not to me, he sounded like someone trying to pull off pipe dreams.  I mean does he really want me to think that a vote for him is going to change the foreign policy, reduce health care cost, bring more jobs to the US?

If I was living in fairy tale land that might happen.  But this is the real world.  There is so much red tape that it would take a miracle for anyone to get any good accomplished on those issues.  I mean you've got Congress not to mention the porkers who are going to make sure their dollars are coming in to their pockets.

I hate to be cynical because I really love this wonderful country!  But the truth is if you want your dreams to come true get off your tushy and work for them.  Pray to God for the ability to do your best and work for the dreams you have.

I have five kids and my house is not in foreclosure, my son is in college, my husband has a great job, and sure the gas prices stink but you work and stop hoping the government is going to help you do what God gave you the ability to do yourself.

Love in Christ,

Michelle

Answer 6

Yep.

Answer 7

LOL

I have always thought he sounded like a pastor when giving his speeches.

hannibal

actually its pretty funny because when you get Obama away from the prepared speeches he does actually stumble a lot with his answers

I could care less how speech making sounds.  Its the issues I vote on, but you really should hear some of the unprepared stumbling Obama has done.  There is a lot and its kind of funny because you know if it was McCain doing this everyone would be calling him out on it.

Answer 8

He sure can Talk the Talk

I hope he can Walk The Walk

Pray for Him

I'm saying that in a good way

What he wants may not be what

he gets.......remember he has to

go through the Senate for most things

Answer 9

Yes. He's all words but hey he is better than McCain.

Answer 10

Hopefully, it's all lip service

Answer 11

I suppose David sound like a pastor also.  Nothing wrong with a president being inspirational.

Answer 12

I've been getting these sort of vibes from the entire convention, actually, not just Obama's speech. The whole thing feels very church-y.

Answer 13

No, he sounds passionate about what he's saying though.  Reminds me a lot of the speeches I heard Kennedy give in my political science class.  

His speeches like Kennedy, are very fluid and you can tell he's comfortable with what he's saying, and that's something you generally only find in people who have done a lot of public speaking and believe what they're saying.

I'm interested in seeing how the republicans do with their convention, that's going to be a rough gig to match.

Answer 14

Yeah for a second he did kinda sound pastor-ish, but at least he uses complete sentences and correct adverbs and adjectives, we all know who lacks those skills.

Cadisney-

I agree, that guy says um more times than Bush, put at least he knows when and how to hook up a big TV and read off of it.

Answer 15

No.  The thing that amazes me is the level of ridicule to  which the Republicans have descended this election!  Totally devoid of any real ideas on how to fix the mess they've created over the last 8 years, they put on togas, dance around, giggle, call Obama God, and compare him to Britney Spears, Moses and Zeus.  They are acting like school children.  Thank goodness their shameful reign is nearly over.

Answer 16

I think he sounded like the new president ;)

haha
