Having the white house directly attack Glen Beck empowers him. It should have been done by a political action committee and he should have been sued in court for libel and defamation.
Now Glen Beck as risen to the level of the President. It will only increase the number of listeners and the shrillness of everything he does. Next Pres Obama will be doing a talk show.
Don't waste your vote, vote Green or Independent in the next election.
He's good at reading a prepared speech. But he's no orator like Ron Reagan was, or JFK.
OTOH, he's certainly a far better speaker than Gerald Ford, and he hasn't fallen down any stairs lately :)
I'd rate Obama's oratorical skills at roughly the LBJ-equivalent level. Before you object, go back and watch Johnson's Great Society speech; I'm sure it's available at YouTube.
