Obama's Use of Complete Sentences Stirs Controversy

In the first two weeks since the election, President-elect Barack Obama has broken with a tradition established over the past eight years through his controversial use of complete sentences, political observers say.

According to presidential historian Davis Logsdon of the University of Minnesota, some Americans might find it "alienating" to have a President who speaks English as if it were his first language.

The President-elect's stubborn insistence on using complete sentences has already attracted a rebuke from one of his harshest critics, Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska.

"Talking with complete sentences there and also too talking in a way that ordinary Americans like Joe the Plumber and Tito the Builder can't really do there, I think needing to do that isn't tapping into what Americans are needing also," she said.

Wow, I can hear Sarah's voice ringing in my ears as I read that. Those must be her words.

Though, please, there should be a comma between -also- and -too-.

JTP (if I may call him that) sounded more literate than Sarah Palin.

I was tempted make that thread political and put up the current lame duck as an example of people not setting their standards high enough.

As they say, sort of, he can talk the talk, let's hope he can walk the walk. :biggrin:

Well, one out of two is better than zero out of two. :wink:

I hardly find Obama's speeches "lacking content" or "marked by lack of ideas or intelligence".

I'd be happy with a president that simply "did no harm." I cringe when they start "doin' stuff."
