Another Wooden Man

Did last night's Obama address remind in the least of the public performance of former Vice President and Democrat Presidential nominee Al Gore? To me at least, Obama presented the words written for him with very flat affect. There was no enthusiasm or even realness in the moment as we saw in the unguarded clip of Obama speaking his mind, his essence, and his real socialist truth to Joe the Plumber, way back in the salad days of the 2008 Presidential campaign in Ohio- before Obama's handlers could fully polish and sanitize him. Obama's remarks of last night were a sort of pro forma obligation that our dear leader seems not to love so well.
