So let me get this straight.

It took 8 years to turn this country from a prosperous nation to on the brink of complete utter ruin... But, Barack Obama is expected to turn this all around in 8 months? Do you think that ANY president can do that ALONE without full backing from congress and the senate? Do you believe that the republicans have done or proposed ANYTHING that remotely resembles a solution to the mess that they largely helped to create?

Were we to elect John McCain? A man who admittedly knows nothing about the economy? A man who feels like the deregulation of the financial system was the right thing to do? A man who voted to go to a war with a nation that didn't attack us? A man who didn't even have the sound judgment to pick a solid running mate? A man who had been lock in step with nearly everything that GWB proposed? Things would be better with the republicans in charge right? And we have the last 8 years to prove that, right? If you believe that, you are more delusional than I thought.

Face it. The republican party is in trouble. Their tactics of scaring people with abortion and gay marriage has worn off. Their tactic of them telling their party that they will go to hell if they don't vote for republicans is not enough anymore. And while you think that the public largely is against our current president, because of what your masters at FN has told you, it's not true. The more you guys show yourself to be the fear mongering party that you are, the more people will turn away from you.

Yes, it's a horrible thing to want your fellow Americans to have a chance at health care. I'm sure that your Jesus would be very proud of your attempts to block it. MY Jesus, however, hopes that Americans will once again remember what it is like to actually care about your fellow man. Maybe he can teach your Jesus a thing or two.

God bless you.

One informal count of every world that is a variant of "you" reveals that he said that word over 200 times. If you are going to mention him mentioning "I" 56 times, then you most certainly should mention how many times he said "you, your, you're, you'll, you've, yourself," etc etc etc.... But, that may remind people that the speech was about schoolchildren taking responsibility for their OWN destiny in life and it wasn't ACTUALLY all about the president, as you would like to allude to.

And Nation and Country means the same thing, does it not? Wouldn't that bump the count to 10? And how many times did he mention America? Mmm... 5 times! He said also American once. So wouldn't that bump your count to 16? Or at the least, 15? I just want to make to make sure that you are accurate in all of your pettiness.

This post just goes to show that those on the right will do any and everything under the sun to ATTEMPT to diminish our current president and his administration. Even if it is something as simple-minded and petty as counting how many times he said certain words in a speech. You may want to reconsider this whole "playing a game of numbers" thing. I promise you that you will not come out on top.

As far as it not being the "original" speech. I guess we'll never know, will we? Going bats--t over every little thing has it disadvantages. Perhaps before going on your little witch hunt, you should have waited to see what was ACTUALLY going to be said. After all, how can you prove something that does not exist? That's right, you can't.

Please do keep your children home tomorrow. Illiterate children is the only way to make sure that the republican base has members for decades to come.
