and that's a good thing, it's one of Obama's strengths, he talks no differently than the average joe with a high school education.

when I go looking for quotations it always occurs to me that politicians and anybody else in society in older generations put a lot of time crafting these fancy quotes about anything and everything - more to impress than anything else.

i admire writers and orators - they can be inspiring but i don't really need or want it from politicians. the only time it's an asset is when emotion is needed to stir up support - a campaign speech, a victory speech or a we're going to war speech.

say what you want about Dubya but after 9/11 when he spoke to the nation and the world and concluded with 'Let's roll' it was every bit as inspiring and impactful as anything Winston Churchill and his speech writers ever wrote during World War II.
