Facepunch Speech Thread V. Obama - General

[QUOTE=redBadger;25615310]The only thing good about Obama is the quality of his speeches. Too bad he cannot live up to them.[/QUOTE] That's how it usually goes. He did a good job at getting everyone riled up about change yet here we are in the exact same or worse place we started with.

So anybody written any speeches lately?

[QUOTE=Meller Yeller;25626221]here we are in the exact same or worse place we started with.[/QUOTE] no you aren't the economy is getting better, slowly but surely it's ridiculous to expect them to fix everything in 21 months when the Republicans were digging a hole for EIGHT YEARS and wanted to keep going

those were my speeches...small yet (I hope) good well I updated them... philosophy... [quote] I find that people, me specifically, try to label themselves to a certain "type" or "group" of people when some of us are genuinely unique in our own way we attempt to brand our selves as the archetype nerd, prep, jock, geek, weird, or eccentric. for instance I am very much against complete conformity yet I am choosing to join the military, the highest echelon of conformity. Why is this so? I don't know is it family tradition? I doubt it. Is it of my own will? somewhat. None-the-less I am going to join it and that angers many people specifically the one I love the most. but at some point I need to live my life and make my own mistakes however is losing the one I love worth it? i doubt it is love and devotion the same thing or do they tie in to each other? like the infinity ring? [/quote] religion.... [quote] well I had a flame war tonight over my " anti-religious" posts it was only a matter of time before I angered someone but hey what am I to do? I also had a long convosation over the phone that kept comeing back to religion and I had the realizisation that when you blast someones religion it, in turns activates a self defense mechanism at the base of the mind its this sudden primal instinct to defend so ambiguously the very thing they worship which in turn I do when it comes to defending atheism yet half the time I am able to defeat that primal urge to become violent at the blasting of my own religion (or lack thereof ) in the end I have to say defeat that primal instinct urge to defend your "religious beliefs" they serve no purpose in modern life. have a constructive conversation about differences in religious beliefs think for your self, question everything [/quote] I need to know are they good?

don't let this thread die!!!

I mean you do realize our economy goes up and down on it's own which is why it sucks that stupid people who don't understand how our economy works are going be praising him so much when it starts doing better because he's just sort of ignored it. Everything he HAS done have been mostly small things that aren't really going to help us as a country but make the voters happy. Nothing new though.

I need to know are they good?[/QUOTE] Decent, they need some work with grammar and such, try not to include your personal life when giving a speech. It's more appealing when you talk about problems that others face and use examples of somebody else's life over your own. Anyways, sorry for being in-active. We've had a lot of prep at school for an upcoming parade.

[QUOTE=Dysentery;25737765]the u.s. government is the most inefficient government known to man, i don't blame him for not getting anything done[/QUOTE] This isn't a thread about government.

[QUOTE=Bomber9900;25737831]This isn't a thread about government.[/QUOTE] um can you not read i was talking about the government in relation to obama actually getting shit done

I hate Obama so fucking much.

[QUOTE=Dysentery;25737864]um can you not read i was talking about the government in relation to obama actually getting shit done[/QUOTE] Still doesn't matter. The thread is about speech, not government.

hmmm...my thoughts lately have not been anywhere near deep. I tire of my social life
