jesus you're an idiot.
Nobody ever said he didn't have speechwriters on his staff. The guy makes 6 stops a day and has to make remarks at each of them that are specifically tailored to the group of people he's speaking to and the area he's in. Of course the bulk of that work is done by his staff.
His stump speech, his speech when he launched his campaign, his acceptance speech at the convention, his speech on race, his speech at the 2004 convention, those were all written by Obama himself.
Having a speechwriter is no big deal, all Presidents and Presidential Candidates in the modern era have had people write their speeches.
However, this criticism that's hurled at Obama, that he's just reciting words that someone else wrote, so therefore his speeches don't matter....when Obama is the one guy out there writing his own stuff, is utterly ridiculous.
