So...ah...errr...Hillary writes her own speeches?

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

Well, that certainly would explain a lot, but I doubt it's true. I think she's just reading words somebody else wrote down for her.

1. Well, if you're promising something new...it should be new...

..not recycled...

[tekisui]

6. Re-duce. Re-use. Re-cycle. Re-store.

Nothing wrong with that. It can still be new. Just because something is good and made sense in the past doesn't mean it's still with us.

Some of the greatest efforts and movements have been forgotten, and are new for this time.

[joeybee12]

10. But it's like the same 3-4 lines Duval used...they should have known

it would bite them on the ass...he should have done a better job of recycling...made it less obvious.

[tekisui]

11. Obviously, they feel it is a non-issue.

Duval has said there's no problem. If they were at all worried about it, they would have changed it.

As they say,"Good artists borrow, Great artists steal"

Obama's art is his speaking ability.

[joeybee12]

12. Then the naivete is the issue...this is the stuff the media grabs on to...

...no one cared about Rudy's screwing the firefighters over with faulty radios, the media only started after him when he said he was rooting for the red Sox!!!!

[Vinca]

2. We know she reads them. It was pretty apparent when she gave

the "words are cheap" (unless you're Bill Clinton giving speeches) speech.

[Yossariant]

3. Bill Clinton has backed up his words -- Obama not so much.

[adabfree]

5. Yea...he sure has...with 40 million dollars..lmao

Speeches and words ain't so cheap after all..huh..

Hillary needs to be careful what she says...lol

[Yossariant]

7. Some people's words are worth more than others.

[dkf]

13. "I did not have sex with that woman"

Famous words from Bill Clinton.

[blm]

17. Really? Then tell us what he DID with the BCCI report and all the outstanding matters

in IranContra, Iraqgate and CIA drugrunning operations?

Bill SAID he'd have an ethical administration when he ran and then he got in and protected Poppy Bush, Jackson Stephens, Marc Rich and Dubai and Saud royals involved with many of those matters.

And NOW Bill has been COLLECTING MILLIONS from some of the same sources he protected when he deep-sixed BCCI matters throughout the 90s.

[adabfree]

4. awww Gawd her performance was awful...

she kept looking down...to convey to "new" message.

She stunk up the joint with that speech.

[berni_mccoy]

8. I think she has a wire on and is being food sped lines by Mark Penn.

[Medusa]

9. And this is after the campaign hired an "acting coach" for her

to try and improve her speech deliveries and her vocal range. Another briliant hiring decision by the Clinton Campaign.

[dkf]

14. Did they really? It didn't seem to help.

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

15. I disagree. She's playing a desperate technocrat brilliantly.

Dare I say Stanislavsky.

[dkf]

16. lol. Yes I can see that now.

[karynnj]

18. Every campaign uses speech writers sometimes

that is why it was news when Edwards started using speeches that were written by him.

This is true even for politicians who are gifted speech writers. Even when they had a speech writer, most would provide input.
