why does he have to be so boring when he talks about it? I guess part of being a politician is describing art by its impact on the "new world economy" or whatever.
you say that but back in like 2009 I distinctly remember that libs and chuds would often criticize Obama for being too lighthearted. The boring way he talks was considered way too whimsical and charismatic back then. Now that I'm typing all this out it was probably just racism.
Maybe it’s all Trump’s fault. People are so used to Trump now they couldn’t see Obama in that way anymore.
Trump said so many things in 2016 that would have been national news stories for weeks but the campaigns just moved along as normal. Mitt Romney's campaign was torpedoed because he said he had "binders full of women." and that was enough. Howard Dean made a weird yell in 2004 and that sank his campaign.
In the Bush Jr vs Gore debates, Gore sighed at Bush and it was an entire media cycle.
