Are you talking to me?

The other day Mike and I were listening to the news...or a podcast...one of them.  Anyway, we heard Obama speak and it just didn't sound sincere to me.  I realize they have speech writers (who probably don't get the credit they deserve) and I am sure they read their speeches a few times to prepare and know them well but it just doesn't sound sincere when they say it.  I just didn't connect with Obama when I heard him because it didn't sound like a regular friend-to-friend or neighbor-to-neighbor conversation.  It sounded too formal.  Now I realize also that they have to be careful what they say so having it written down and mostly reading it is 'safe' for them, but it just doesn't sound sincere.

Talk TO me...not AT me.

I totally agree. I feel like he feels fake all the time because he just doesn't feel what he is saying. Too bad that people have to be so careful so not to give their enemies something to throw at them later.

maybe he isnt sincere? i think he is sort of crazy....not to mention rude sometimes to the point that it is shocking.
not that any pres is perfect, but I will always remember bush after 911. that was a speech. haven't heard anything quite like it since.
