If you’ve ever wondered how President Barack Obama became such a great public speaker, the Obama Board is your answer. You too can practice the President’s most well-known and popular speech terms and phrases with this keyboard.
Ashley Lewis from MAKE Magazine came up with the design by taking Obama’s most frequently used terms from his infamous 2009 inauguration speech and assigning each to a different key on a keyboard. The result? The Obama Board.
Actually, the end result is mostly gibberish sentences in President Barack Obama’s booming voice, but that still sounds just as appealing to me.
Some of the popular words on the keyboard include: "believe," "answer," "election," "achieve," "hope," "can," and of course, "yes."
Whether you want to prepare for your next big presentation at work or just brush up on your inauguration speech trivia, the Obama Board certainly makes for an entertaining afternoon.
