What Is It That Makes Old Farts Insist On Speaking After An Obama Speech?
Most people don't want to have to follow a good act. Be it comedy, music, dance, whatever.

For some unknown reason, and after all the evidence is in about what a good speaker Obama is, some idiots insist on speaking afterward. Particularly old doddering ones.

Wazz up wid dat?

1. Obama's a Young Whipper Snapper and Old Farts Don't Like Smart Young Whipper Snappers.
Just saying.

3. I guess they're too old to help themselves.
Did he think he was going to bust Obama by talking about 9-11?

5. I'm thinking Obama scheduled his ahead of Cheney
Edited on Thu May-21-09 11:12 AM by CakeGrrl
We knew what time Cheney was scheduled before we knew when Obama would speak. If I were Obama, I would've let Cheney wait until after I spoke.

Too bad Dick had to follow some irrefutable facts, like the number of convictions Guantanamo produced in 7 years (only three), the fact that over 200 Gitmo detainees were released on Bush's watch, and that - lest anyone forget - 9/11 happened on the Bush/Cheney watch.

12. Yeah but Cheney specifically waited until Obama was done.
Why didn't he try to steal the limelight by speaking anyway? Methinks he wanted something to pounce on in what Obama said but he didn't get it.

11. Are you seeing the "Country First" McCain ad in your OP?
Kind of gives it a nice visual. :)
