No disagreement there. The biggest problem is that those speeches, whoever writes them, are filled with boilerplate platitudes. Compare to Reagan’s speeches.

True, dat! Ask someone, "quick, think of a quote from Reagan" and one might easily respond "Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall!". Or a quote from Kennedy, "Ich bin win Berliner!". But try and think of anything quotable or memorable from Obama. Nada. President Zero fits hit so well.

All of Obama’s famous quotes can be found on an Obama Bingo card. Shouldn’t the speechwriters get a clue and stop using the same old cliches that were becoming a running gag in 2008?
