BTW...
Or maybe it is their speech writers who are at fault.
Ah yes...the speech writers. Doesn't that distinctly tell you something? Passing the buck is only the half of it!
Think about it. Do you speak your own words or someone else's? Will you stand by that other person's words or only your own?

I speak my own words but then I am not a politician whose career depends on not making a mistake. In this atmosphere of distrust and racial and political attacks it is a wise politician who writes his own words and then gives it to a "speechwriter" to edit and make it grammatically and politically acceptable.
