1. "There once was a man from Nantucket,"

oh wait, you didn't mean that kind of poetry

[Skip Intro]

3. Nah, not limericks, more like strong Hallmark words strung together

Hope and beleive and such. Big, vague words that mean whatever you want them to mean.

[Armstead]

2. In other words "Be a hypocrite"

4. If prose will energize our democracy and bring people out to the polls,

I'm all for Prose! :patriot:

[Nedsdag]

This is what happens when supporters of desparate candidates do desparate measures.

Right now, Hillary supporters are desparate!

10. Really? Lincoln did all right .

I take issue with your premise. Governing is more than television v-chips; it is reaching the hearts of the people. Like this, words that redefined our nation.

Grom the Gettysburg Address:

The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

From the Second Inaugural:

Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether." 3

With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.

12. Hee-hee. I have to admit that's a clever come-back.

[Sulawesi]

14. Sounds great, but I don't understand it...

Is she supposed to be prose to Obama's poetry? I don't think that means anything.

[TwilightGardener]

15. I'm pretty sure Obama knows what government's about, considering

he's been a legislator longer than she has.
