obama's visit to College Notre Dame

The problem with politicians like 0bama, or perhaps all politicans, is they are constantly monitoring people's response to what they say. They constantly seek feedback as to what it is people want to hear. Then they say that which people want to hear and positively respond. Watch what 0bama does more than what he says. 0bama has some very highly paid people keeping him informed as to what people will agree with. That's why he uses a teleprompter so much.

thanks Angry Kitty, I understood it to be our college du Notre dame, the name is the same, either way I stance remains the same.

Now Red, I think you know me well enough to know that I am not gonna trust a man I feel is untrustworhty and has some rather shady ulterior motives just because he manges to uter a few statements that do not enrage me. I really only stopped by to point out to the OP that Notre Dame is not in Canada as she said it is, but figured 'd also try to be polite and give the guy a bit of credit for managing to not piss me off this time.

angry kitty and prairie style, the college du notre dame now is all over the canada and usa in many cities, the original is french college du notre dame is not an english word, it means the college of our lady in english, and the first one was founded by samuel du champlain in 1608 in quebec city, again I am sorry for saying it was canadian because the news I just watched said college du notre dame, not university of notre dame in which case I would have automatically recognized it to be american, sorry for the error and thank you angry kitty for pointing it out.

Ok, forgiven here.

You're right, Notre Dame is in Indiana, which is in the USA, not Canada.

amen ladies

To take your country back from where or what? I thought America was a democratic country as it is. If not so why are you sending your bright young men and women to far away places on earth to be gobbled up as canon fodder?

What he wants to accomplish is total government power and control. How long of a chance should we give him? Should we wait until we have no freedom to take our country back?

I agree with you on abortion, however the current economic system was caused by the republican administration for the 8 previous years. obama just inherited and as I said before it didn't matter who the president would be they inherited the problem, this is not taking sides for either president or party it just the facts, if the last administration had of been democrat then they caused the problem or atleast didn't do much to fix it, but it happens that it was the republican administration when the recession happened in the usa, and it will take years to get out of, regardless of which administration is in power, this is simple economics. here is the scope on presdential speech writing According to two former presidential speechwriters, Ray Price and Ted Sorensen, most U.S. presidents had help writing their speeches. Even George Washington sought editorial assistance from Alexander Hamilton. But Calvin Coolidge was the first president to hire an official, full-time speechwriter. Since then, every president has had an Office of Speechwriting. President George W. Bush's speechwriting staff is comprised Director of Speechwriting Michael Gerson, deputy writers Matthew Scully and Peter Wehner, and David Frum, who specializes in economic speeches. Sometimes the president's other staff and advisors also have a say in speech texts. How much does the president contribute to his own speeches? That varies according to the president and the speech. Ray Price says his former boss, President Richard Nixon, didn't always use written speeches. Nixon was a seasoned debater and felt comfortable without a prepared text. President John F. Kennedy made Ted Sorensen's job easy because of Kennedy's own eloquence. Even if the president doesn't write his own text, he influences the speech. As Michael Gerson said about one of the speeches he and his team wrote for Bush: "The entire speech has [Bush's] fingerprints. Our concern was not to write a good speech but to write a good speech that is also his speech."

very well said my friend,

That is a lovely thing to say my friend. Thanks.

yes Giobuffon I made a mistake, and angry kitty pointed it out and set the records straight, it was the university of Notre Dame in the USA that he attended.

Sorry, he appeared at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, USA. Winterrose made an honest mistake.

Oh I see, well thanks for letting me know, I really appreciate it for commenting back and letting me know !

yep I do too.

cool

thanks so much for this very informative post, I love to learn about things like this

yes I do think he is doing a good job, it is still early days, he hasn't even been in office for full six months yet.

Yes grandma thank God we or ours have never been put in that position.

absolutely worldwise I hope he can see some of his plans come to fruition as well.

okay

yes you are absolutely correct!

it is okay cynthiann you do not have to agree with abortion, there are very good points on each side of the issue.

yes and even here in canada where it is legal it has to be for a darn good reason, not just because you feel it is a form of birth control because it is not, if a person has had a few abortions and the doctor feels it is only because they are too lazy to take precautions they will be prevented from having another abortion as well.

thank you lelin

thanks hon, and yes I agree with you a hundred percent, we don't get too much news of gordon brown here in quebec, but we get all the news of american presidents.
