If you were to try to be honest dude you would have to agree with Lance: If Obama said that it would be called "socialist" or he would be accused of trying to "redistribute our labor" or something.

Seriously. smiley: eyes
If President Obama said that he would be called a plagiarist. 8^)

But my point wasn't that he didn't say that, it was that I keep seeing others make claims about President Obama's superior rhetorical skills but when asked for examples, I get some very ordinary political rhetoric.

Superior and ordinary are not synonyms.
