On a second comment, the article read:
...whether the president would lend his considerable fame to the pitch. The president has dropped hints all month long that he may attend the event.
Now what "considerable frame?" My goodness, the man is a stick man, hardly a considerable frame of a man. And, although I tend not to criticize writers, I am sick of people using improper English. Today's college graduates who call themselves "journalists," use the word "may" rather than "might" all the time. Of course Obama MAY GO, he is permitted to go where he wants! But, saying he "might go" is the appropriate wording. Drat...don't they teach these kids anything in college except how to hate America, hold riots and demonstrations and fight against Capitalism?
Good points on the grammar but it was his “considerable fame” that he might lend to the pitch. Fame or frame—he’s still full of himself. ;)
