Open Left

No, you aren't

I need to dig up my Dictionary of American Newspeak, though, to be sure. The problem with Obama is that sometimes he speaks English, and sometimes he doesn't. When he does, he can sound like Shakespeare, or at least like Lincoln. When he doesn't, he can sound more like like a used-car salesman, or a TV evangelist. This sounds more like the latter to my ear, but not unequivocally so.
