And now this word from outer space

Voice is Destiny edition:
Does anyone else have a problem with Obummers voice? To my ears, the cadence is all wrong. It's in the way he kind of barks out his sentences. It's like being dragged across fresh lava rock. Makes me want to run screaming from the room whenever he comes on. Never mind what he's actually saying. He could be reading nursery rhymes. Boy's got a mile-wide authoritarian streak in him and it's all there to see in the voice.

  1. I thought these people liked authoritarian people? Bush, McCain and Palin are far more authoritarian than Obama.

    Also, they're complaining about Obama's fear-mongering about the economy? I don't seem to recall them complaining when Bush said that we don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud.

  2. Apparently, proper English, well structured sentences and coherent thought-processes are anathema to Freepers. Not that this is surprising, given the regard they maintain for Sarah Palin.

    @euphgeek - I don't really get the concern over Obama's fear-mongering. The biggest difference, to me , is that Obama is using facts to back up his claims (massive job losses, GDP decline, and so on) whereas Bush was using fiction (yellow cake, Al Qaeda in Iraq, etc.). If anything, from what I've read, Obama is understating the problem (or at least the solution to the problem).

  3. @Adam - There's only one explanation for it -- IOKIYAR!

  4. I'm somewhat ashamed that I had to look up what IOKIYAR stands for. But, that certainly seems to be the perfect summary for this case, and really, the 'explanation' for the massive cognitive dissonance that Freepers seem to experience.
