I used to feel bad about book stores going out of business, but recent excursions have shocked me with the amazing amount of Obama books. What is there to glorify about a man who when the going gets tough, votes present?
Maybe book stores are just trying to make money any way they can as we become a post-literate society, but their fate seems to parallel the downfall of liberal newspapers. If all either one can give us is left wing propaganda, then how great is the loss?
Goodbye to them already.

I find Obama boring, and cannot for the life of me think of anything that would be a significant defining quote. Nothing wise or intelligent, anyway. You would think there has to be something by now, even so early in his political career, if only because so many people tout how intelligent he is, and what a great speaker.
I did see a book of great speeches with Obama in it. I don’t remember what speech was in it. None come to mind as an obvious choice. It included other peoples’ speeches, but it did not have the interest of Speeches that Changed the World, by Montefiore (with a CD).
Does this “Say it Like Obama” tell us to put in a “let me be clear” every once in a while?

I think there should be a Great Speeches by TOTUS book — after all, let’s give the credit where it belongs. Actually, I don’t think TOTUS is that great either, but it’s better than listening to Mr. Um-&-Ah ad-lib.

Apparently waving your hands, swinging your nose in the air from side to side and smirking has some sort of submissive effect on these people. I am volatile as is. I do not need to listen to so called “great” speeches. At least with the written I could sit and circle all of the um and uhs if they only put those in.
