Always talk about the excluded and their despair, translating it into a supposed longing for integration. Never talk about those whose decisions produce exclusion, about a system based on people's exploitation, about more radical hopes for reform.

See, now I can see an orator like that being our president. Too bad he's the dark horse to Edwards and Hillary.

When I read or hear a well done speech by Obama or Gore, and then I hear Bush mangling the English language every time he opens his mouth, I weep.

He is truly an incredible speaker. He may be too smart for the general populace.

I can't remember the last time a public speaker in US was good enough to be widely quoted. MLK, I guess. JFK. Bush is just imbecilic, but not really THAT much worse than the recent standard (see: his daddy).

I think Obama is an amazing speaker. Does anyone know of a website with some of his full speeches? If you do, please e-mail me at RizkyM823@aol.com.

@9: check out http://www.americanrhetoric.com/

It only has one by Obama, I think -

"Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Dick Durbin. You make us all proud..."

The site has some pretty awesome speeches from the olden days.
