Obama's 27 yr old speech writer

Obama's Chief Speechwriter, 27, Works on Inaugural Address While Making His Own Transition - washingtonpost.com


Makes me wonder. Bush ever have a speech writer? It's hard to imagine someone would be paid to write the shit that came out of Bushie's mouth. Then again, life is full of surprises.

Expect a lot of plagiarism from this speechwriter.

What the hell? Why on Earth would you say that? Obama surrounds himself with old, D.C. insiders from both parties, and the one young guy that must be a promising writer, you're throwing mud at him already?

Come on, even you'll admit that's a broad generalization blanket statement, and as such, is unfair. Don't characterize the guy as a plagiarist even before you know who he is. You're starting to sound like a sore loser.

Lots of people that achieved later fame were relatively unknown before they were White House speech writers. Ben Stein, (Nixon), Hendrik Hertzberg, former Carter speechwriter and executive editor of The New Yorker magazine, Ted Sorensen (Kennedy), Mary Kate Cary (Bush), William Ewald (Eisenhower), and Anthony Dolan (Reagan).

And, for the record, yes, Dubya did have speechwriters. You honestly think he got through eight State of the Union speeches by himself?

While you're wasting my time with stuff I've already read, why don't you go do a google search about Obama's plagiarism, as well as the person in question. You'll be surprised what you find.

Of course Bush had a speech writer! You dont think he could actually write something himself do you?

I get the impression Bush was the ultimate puppet, in every sense of the word.

Gee, sorry, Tommy... yours was the second post in the thread.

Didn't realize you'd done such extensive writing on this subject.

The only up side to a Bush presidency, is the fact that it will be small, and have maybe one or two pop up books in it. One of which will be My Pet Goat.

The other, How to fuck the US in the ass royally without trying. The pop ups in that book will likely get a guffaw or two out of George.
