It Is To Laugh

According to Harold Ford, Jr; the former and last chairman of the now-defunct Democratic Leadership Council (DLC) President Barack Obama is "the greatest orator that the office has ever known." I don't know what office he's referring to, but if he means the office of the President of the United States, I do have to call shenanigans.

I mean is Ford really serious? Moreover, does he really expect to be taken seriously? As NewsBusters Mark Finkelstein asks, we're really supposed to believe that the current studdering occupant of the Oval Office that never met a teleprompter he didn't like is more articulate and a greater orator than Lincoln? FDR? Reagan? Even the left's darling, JFK?

Ford, puhleeze!
