Quote:"After months of listening to the Republicans base their campaign on their singular ability to win the war on terror, the president now says we can't win the war on terrorism," John Edwards, the Democratic vice presidential candidate, said. "This is no time to declare defeat - it won't be easy and it won't be quick, but we have a comprehensive long-term plan to make America safer. And that's a difference."

our president also utters words of 2 or more syllables, some of which actually exist in the OED
You're right, FM, he can say "fe-ces" and expound upon their rights . . .
