Fox News’ Wendell Goler is credited with writing a story that challenges the speaking ability of President Barack Obama. Fox News searches long and hard to find anything it can use to criticize our president - our newly-elected president of the United States of America. Here is an excerpt from Goler’s Fox News article:
From the 2004 Democratic convention speech that launched him onto the national stage to his acceptance of his party’s nomination four years later, Barack Obama’s public speaking skills have been considered one of his strongest assets.
But while the president’s ability is admired — and at least one Web site promises to teach it to you — Obama also is mocked by critics who say he’s only comfortable with teleprompters.
One Web site has compiled clips of him stumbling verbally without them. For example: “And if they just gave him treatment early, and, uh, they got some treatment,” he misspoke at a campaign stop. “And a breathalyzer..uh a inhalator.”
Now, let us get a few things straight. When every word a person said is brought under scrutiny, sure people are going to stumble over words here and there. It is just going to happen. This piece (part of an effort to try and attack the strengths of our president) by Fox News looks and smells like a hit piece designed to attack. Most people are naturally better off a teleprompter. So, for Fox News to point out the obvious is just plain stupid.
