“Repeating the “This is the president who” is a rhetorical technique that causes the reader to focus on each point individually. A tool quite frequently used by politicians.”

That technique/cadence is a necessary tool of dictators as well.

Mmmmm. It's also a tactic used by numb naysayers who sit on the sidelines trying to think up new reasons not to do what's best for America. Inbred imbeciles who actually want us to maintain this unsustainable status-quo, and petulant party hacks who still think Bob Dole was a smart choice.

Go buy some vegetables. Then you'll have some nice friends who you can relate to on your own intellectual level. I hear the rutabaga are especially sardonic this season...
