Default Ted Sorensen ... JFK / Obama speechwriter.

http://www.abcnews.go.com/Politics/V...4259093&page=1



Quote:
Senator Barack Obama's, D-Ill., rhetorical skills have been compared to those of the late President John F. Kennedy, which is no coincidence says Kennedy speechwriter Ted Sorensen.

It's no accident the Kennedy magic has infused itself into the campaign of Barack Obama.
Theodore "Ted" Sorensen, the adviser whom John F. Kennedy once called his "intellectual blood bank," is lending his unabashed support -- and eloquence -- to the Obama campaign.

The frustration from the hardcore right is palpable. I love it.

Crazy old amnesty-providing moderate, socialized medicine advocating militant feminist, or progressive well-spoken African American male.

They'll be staying home in droves this November, while the rest of the world moves on and heals. F^cking poetic.

Being 100% honest here PC ... I have never been a big speech believer.

I find speeches .. written by others no less ... to be so lacking in substance
as to make me want to puke. Now I know they are part of the game and all that ... where is the practicality to it all.

Let's look at Bush's speeches during his term ... honest? ... Hardly.

How about Clinton ... not bad considering ... he proof read them all
I always gave him points for that ... no question.

Bush I ... could not even read his speeches.
Reagan ... he forgot what the heck his speech was the following day.

So ... Obama is this greatly educated man ... and he reads the words
written by someone not running for President ... makes me throw up in my mouth. He's not the only one ... but for his intelligence why does he need a speech anyways?
