You should listen to your wife more often...

  By KEVIN FREKING, Associated Press Writer Kevin Freking, Associated Press Writer Mon Apr 27, 5:45 pm ET

WASHINGTON Everyone knows President Barack Obama can deliver a great speech, including the president himself, according to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

The paperback version of Reid's book, "The Good Fight," is coming out May 5 with an epilogue called "The Obama Era." Reid said he was impressed when Obama, then a freshman senator from Illinois, delivered a speech about President George W. Bush's war policy.

Reid, D-Nev., writes: "'That speech was phenomenal, Barack,' I told him. And I will never forget his response. Without the barest hint of braggadocio or conceit, and with what I would describe as deep humility, he said quietly: 'I have a gift, Harry.'"

A copy of the book's 15-page epilogue was provided to The Associated Press. Reid said in an interview he hesitated about citing Obama's comment because he knew it could be interpreted as bragging.

"To be honest, my wife, she said, 'don't tell people that,'" Reid recalled. "She's afraid it could be taken the wrong way. But she's heard me tell lots of people that, and everytime she goes 'don't do that.' Now it's there for thousands of people to read."

I don't get the point ...

Is there any doubt that he's a remarkably gifted public speaker? Is it that someone so gifted ought to be oblivious to that fact? Or is there something wrong with him being humbled by it?

The Right learned from the Left.  Notice how quiet this board has gotten since Bush is out of office.

Kinda shows how the majority are pretty much satisfied with the election of Obama Carolyn! The only ones bitchin are the ones who said they would show respect and give the man a chance yet they are hardly showing they meant it (including you dear!).

But that's ok....after all ya'll have called this the NASTY board so feel free to vent here! We take anything the righteous right say here with a grain of salt!

Yeah, it's all petty now, right?  Whatever.  The people at iWon realized it also.  That's why there are no posts to reference....pfffft.
