Comment on Why do seemingly all politicians (and no one else) do that hand gesture when they talk, the one where it looks like they're holding an invisible fishing rod?

  I miss Obama and other politicians who could actually speak.

    Yeah.

    Although I recently heard him on Marc Maron’s podcast, and was rather disappointed.

    He’s still far, far more lucid than most other politicians, but he came off as wildly out of touch, which I didn’t recall him being 10 years ago.

    Oh well, that’s the match of time for you.

      Well, the man’s retired so he can be I suppose? When (if?) I’m able to retire, I plan on being as out of touch as possible :D

        Yeah. You kinda had to be there for it to make sense, but after Obama became president the right wing media went absolutely bonkers creating a five-alarm fire every day over any and everything. One of these was that one day he didn’t wear a standard boring white-guy suit in dark blue: en.wikipedia.org/…/Barack_Obama_tan_suit_controve…
