A Carter Speechwriter Offers Advice to Barack Obama

I have heard Mr.Obama say what he will do when he gets to the White House and I watched the same convention as millions of other people. I don't understand how the same words have different meanings when heard by different groups of people. IS NOT ENGLISH ENGLISH. I guess I will send Mr. Obama a Thesaurus, so he can use different words that mean the same thing so everybody can be happy. Hopefully that will give a change of words that all can believe in.

Obama and Biden, as leaders in the American Cultural War, shall take the bloody offensive in restoring traditional international good will, patriotism, Christian culture, and Constitutional rule of law.
The Republican Party suffers from malignant Podhoretz Neo-Conservative cancer; and the Democrat Party suffers from malignant Leiberman Neo-Liberal cancer. These Crypto-Neo-Marxist cancers are mutations of that malignant Marxist cancer that mortally devastated Russia, by successfully dividing her patriots against each other.
The America People got these Crypto-Neo-Marxist cancers at the end of the Second World War, when they naively accepted millions of pitiful defeated Marxist refugees from Nazi Germany and Marxist Soviet Union. History suggests that the ultimate fate of these Neo-Marxists shall be the same as it was everywhere in Europe. Reagan Republicans and Kennedy Liberals, by uniting against this common enemy and using the powers granted by the Constitution, shall permanently end their subversive activities. Then America shall be singing, “God Bless America”, and the United Nations shall be cheering.

isn't running and couldn't if he wanted to, James.
Obama will lose the election, because Americans just aren't dumb enough to vote for him in sufficient numbers, thankfully. For the ones that are, I can only hope that they find an antidote for the 'koolaid.'

Obama did an exceptional job of "going forward" in his speech. But to continue to do so, he still has to recall the past. Without neglecting McCain, I still think he should mention W. in every other sentence, and everything else will take care of itself.

Extremely exceptional. You have a gift Gordon Stewart, gift to be able to understand what needs to deliver and the ability to deliver it forcefully!!
WOW

I hope and pray that Barack Obama will read this exceptionally intelligent article.

If you really want the non-partisan truth check out either one or both of these two sites:
politifact.com
snopes.com
Those of you that claim you know the truth... check it out and see if you really do. The site lists all its sources.
I'm sure though that the ones that find their "truth" was wrong will find ways to say these sites are bogus. They are not bogus and they are non-partisan.

In other (fewer) words, get real specific on exactly why and how you're going to fix health care so no American has a financial fear of sickness in addition to a physical fear.
By the way, health care is a "right", but not the way some imply---where we're invited to arrogantly think we can or should DEMAND it. Health care is a "right" as opposed to a "wrong". It is "right" for us to collectively take care of each other in the weathiest nation on earth. Now, knowing THAT, go get 'em. Then watch yourself win.
