Recently it seems that people are starting to get tired of hearing about Obama. Several people in the media have mentioned it and I can't say that I disagree with them. He does seem to be the all-consuming-force of network news. The Economist is running a good story on the growing Obama Fatigue that is taking over the nation.
Mr Obama is undoubtedly an enormously talented public speaker. But his rhetorical tropes can begin to pall, particularly in a campaign that has already gone on for 18 months. How many more times can Americans hear the phrase “Yes we can” without wondering whether they really want to? George Will, a conservative columnist, notes that Disraeli’s gibe about Gladstone might well apply to Mr Obama—he is “inebriated with the exuberance of his own verbosity”.
I think Will overstates his case, but he does have a point. The question is whether it will be enough to shift the press and/or swing voters.
YanıtlaSilNot sure if it is Obama fatigue or that people are getting fed up with "hope" and "change" that are a.) not well defined and b.) when they are defined, they are socialist/Marxist ideas. He also seems to overstate or get his facts wrong a lot, such as in his response to the little 7 year old he said some blatantly inaccurate things (and hasn't been called on them).
YanıtlaSilI think it's just people finally seeing through the hype. To some, it reenforces why they like him. To others, it scares them.
