James Lipton advices Obama not to drop 'G' while speaking

Washington, June 9 (ANI): Talk show host James Lipton has given a piece of advice to President Obama, saying that he should not drop the "G" in "ing" while speaking as he comes from an educated class.

Lipton, 85, seems to be taking his political consulting seriously, as he appeared on Laura Ingraham's radio show Thursday and gave both Mitt Romney and Obama his opinion, the Politico reported.

After Ingraham played a clip of Obama's 2011 "shake it off" speech, Lipton said, "I wanted to write a piece some time ago ... called 'The Disappearing G.' It was inspired more by George W. Bush than by anybody else, where suddenly this man who comes from a [inaudible] upper-class family and comes from an upper-class world, but the G in -ing vanished - I'm goin', we're talkin'. And other politicians have taken it on. Obama does it there. I don't like it anywhere. If a fella is educated and all his life has been saying, 'We're going to succeed,' he doesn't need to say, 'We're gonna succeed'," he said

As for Romney, Lipton said, "he has a problem with the laugh."

"You know what the laugh sounds like, Laura?. ... That HA HA HA in cartoons. He expects us to be amused. But if you look at him and freeze the frame at the bottom of the screen and look at his eyes, he clearly is not amused. He needs to fix that.

"He wants to be amused but he himself is not amused. People think that crying is the test of an actor. The real test of acting is laughing," he added. (ANI)
