Obama gets away with dropping the “ing” all the time, and blue bloods think he is an oratory genius.
You certainly make a fine point there. And Obama really brings it home in the Union venues. Still, I think Perry would find it helpful to his campaign to drop some of the regional twang. I like him to stand out on what he says, not so much how he says it. It’s a small point and not meant to harm. Just sayin’. Now, there I go.
