This isn't funny, but your comment reminded me of the first time I heard Obama speak. He said:

. . . . and eradicate the slander that says a black youth with a book is acting white

I think that is so profound.

Bush gives hope to a far greater number of people, the inarticulate and unknowledgeable that they too can acheive high office after having run an oil company and a baseball team

Speaking of inarticulate, apparently Obama is upsetting people because he uses complete sentences.
Obama's use of complete sentences stirs controversy
From the article:
Quote:
But Mr. Obama's decision to use complete sentences in his public pronouncements carries with it certain risks, since after the last eight years many Americans may find his odd speaking style jarring.
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.
"Every time Obama opens his mouth, his subjects and verbs are in agreement," says Mr. Logsdon. "If he keeps it up, he is running the risk of sounding like an elitist."
