WASHINGTON — One night last week Cody Keenan, the chief White House speechwriter President Obama has christened “Hemingway,” knew he needed help...
It was after midnight, but Mr. Rhodes, a deputy national security adviser and the writer of many of the president’s foreign policy speeches, was up ### reading “To Kill a Mockingbird” to his 4-week-old daughter.### The two men poured two single-malt Scotch whiskies and, with the baby resting quietly, began triage on Mr. Keenan’s prose. By 5 a.m., a more succinct draft was on its way to the president.

Not really....read that years ago.....This guy more likely uses cliff notes...total plagerism.
They don’t. These people think they are intulecuals.
I got up early this morning and just finished a fascinating discussion of 19th century English jurisprudence with my bulldog.
‘Samson’ is a strong proponent of ‘act’ utilitarianism, arguing John Stuart Mill’s position while I insisted upon the ‘rule’ variant propounded by John Austen.
Finally we agreed to disagree that “utilitarianism” is a doctrine fit only for swine and cats, and we played catch with a tennis ball.
This evening I look forward to a walk around the neighborhood with him, since it is no longer slick out, and a symposium with Samson, the miniature Schnauser from across the street and a stray Labrador retriever on Kant and categorical imperatives: ‘Beggin’ Strips or Pupparoni’.
I call them Bacon Strips at his insistence.
Anywho, I read some Harper Lee to him, and now he’s working on his PhD dissertation.
What a disgusting, slobbering, ass-kissing article. Blech!!
“Mr. Keenan focuses far more on individual, hard-work stories as parables for what is difficult but still possible in America” — how do Obama, Warren, et al square that sentence with “You didn’t build that”? Do they expect Americans to have such short memories?
Of course they do. Never over-estimate the intelligence of your average lofo.
GD hypocrites — destroy entire American industries, tax everybody to death, double the gibsmedat EBT class, and then have the unmitigated gall to extol the virtues of Horatio Alger rags-to-riches through hard work.
More lies, more lines to clap about—all to help the King rule over his foolish subjects. Give the Hope and Change! Nothing bad and blame all thats wrong with Bush and the policies of the past. I will miss it! Read a book.
We know who Obama’s various inspirations are don’t we? Domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, race hater in chief Jeremiah Wright, America hating communist Frank Marshall Davis, and a murder row of some of the most evil human beings this world has ever produced.
“Draws on various inspirations,” his favorite being Pinocchio.
How much easier could it be to be a Democrat speech writer?
Lie like hell and promise an enormous amount of goodies as if there were an endless amount of money in the treasury.
