An excerpt from Obama's concession speech last night:

"...We've been asked to pause for a reality check. We've been warned against offering the people of this nation False Hope-- but in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about Hope."

Has he got a command of the language or what?

That's some beautiful s*** to me.

As proven by the team from Hope Arkansas :wink:

For Obama, the only hope may be Mt. Hope.(politically) but that's probably a premature statement.

I'm still trying to figure out what the meaning of the word "is" is.

It's been a long time since we had a straight talker in the Whitehouse. Obama ain't one either.

Fred Thompson is about as close as it gets.

Yes, Obama is a great TALKER. But is he good at anything else.

Fred Thompson is great because he understands that gay illegals are melting the polar ice caps. I also like his health care proposal, which involves arming every while male with a bazooka. With Thompson in office, we can obliterate Iraq and Iran simultaneously, and consolidate it into one country called, "Bunch O' Pussies."

Thompson is the best thing since sliced Hitler.

Re: Some deep s***
I liked Clinton's "I listened to you and in the process found my own voice." Give that speech writer a pay raise. Obama's writers have a pretty good grasp on the lauguage, but Obama can deliver it in style.

But who cares? Are we going to get another 4-8 years of Bill the "oral"tor?

It's kinda good to have a president that actually tries to accomplish something, instead of just talking about it over a blowjob.

Annihillating a 3rd World country for no reason while watching ESPN is far nobler.

Definitely premature. Although, I'm am glad Hillary Clinton won. Obama is still a young fella, he has way more time to win the presidency at another time.

He's not dead, just low-energy.

Obama has the style. Ralph's got the authority. Just look at the way he rests his hands on his hips.

That sir, is the $64,000 question.

I'd heard he just signed the contract, replacing Bob Dole, to do the Viagra ads.

Again, please see androgynous Red Pitcher's response.

Obama writes many of his speeches and "writes" many others -- his speechwriter has said that the process is basically that he listens to Obama talk for about half an hour, shapes it a bit, gives it back to Obama, who shapes it a bit more, and they go back and forth like that for a while. Here's more about it:

Quote:
The pitch worked. Favreau [the speechwriter] and Obama rapidly found a relatively direct way to work with each other. "What I do is to sit with him for half an hour," Favreau explains. "He talks and I type everything he says. I reshape it, I write. He writes, he reshapes it. That's how we get a finished product.

"It's a great way to write speeches. A lot of times, you write something, you hand it in, it gets hacked by advisers, it gets to the candidate and then it gets sent back to you. This is a much more intimate way to work."

Some speeches are much more the product of the candidate himself. Obama e-mailed Favreau his draft of his announcement speech in Springfield, Ill., at 4 a.m. on the morning of the campaign launch last February.


http://www.newsweek.com/id/84756/output/print

This is a short version I've found for people who say they don't know what Obama's actually done:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/01/03/AR2008010303303.html

First paragraph:

Quote:
People who complain that Barack Obama lacks experience must be unaware of his legislative achievements. One reason these accomplishments are unfamiliar is that the media have not devoted enough attention to Obama's bills and the effort required to pass them, ignoring impressive, hard evidence of his character and ability.


There's more than that of course but it's a start.
