I tried to listen to the speeches last night. The repetition about drove me nuts. It was like they knew they were talking to idiots and had to repeat what they saw as important lines over and over.

If you want an example go and listen to Rahm Immanuel’s speech. His phrase was “That was the change we believe in. That was the change we fought for.”

Your comment brings to mind one of my favorite HL Mencken quotes: "The demagogue is one who preaches doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots." I would say that defines Obama and most Democrats perfectly. I used to use it as a tagline...
