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."
The historian said that if Mr. Obama insists on using complete sentences in his speeches, the public may find itself saying, "Okay, subject, predicate, subject predicate -- we get it, stop showing off."
after years of the Bush admin conducting business through doublespeak and lies, you really want someone to pander to the people and make them feel you're one of them and you don't know shit, rather than projecting a sense of intelligence and telling the truth in clear concise terms? is that the people talking or is it just you, Mr. Logsdon?
"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.
oh, really now? maybe you should've started talking like that and you might have won, dumbass.
welcome to the new 21st century. get used to it.
