Why is this an article? HenryS 20:48, 25 November 2008 (EST)
- All these Obamaisms should be collected into one article. --Ed Poor Talk 20:52, 25 November 2008 (EST)
- Two questions: Is a collection of quotes really fit for an encyclopedia? Isn't this information already in his article? HenryS 20:55, 25 November 2008 (EST)
The pause
Watch the clip. There is a noticeable pause before he says, "Pearl Harbor". Do you suppose he was wondering if his notes were correct? Maybe someone in his staff inserted the bomb phrase without his knowledge.
We all know that politicians employ speech writers. Maybe he didn't study the speech beforehand, looking for errors.
I wonder what Ronald Reagan would have done if he saw an error in a prepared text he was reading from. I know what I would do. I would say, "Hm, there seems to be an error in my notes. Give me a moment, please."
I have 7 years experience with online wiki editing. So it would be easy for a guy like me to quickly change "bomb that fell" to "attack". Or maybe I'm just smarter than our President Elect. --Ed Poor Talk 11:07, 27 November 2008 (EST)
- Or maybe you'd be as prone to making errors in speeches if you were giving three a day for one and a half years on four hours of sleep. Here's a question: were you as critical of President Bush, when he made noticeable gaffes? Or were you silent? Are you employing a double standard, or should I create an article about Food on your family?-GnaeusA 11:09, 27 November 2008 (EST)
