Quote of the Week: Barack Obama's Stale Political Rhetoric

"Anyone with a long memory and the patience to listen knows that Obama is truly shameless in this regard. Sometimes his stump speeches sound like a Time-Life greatest-hits compilation of Unforgettable Classic Political Baloney from the '70s, '80s, and '90s, with one cant phrase after another lifted from speeches by Ronald Reagan, Al Gore, Bill Clinton, Elizabeth Dole, John Kerry, Ross Perot, George Bush--yes I said Elizabeth Dole-- Jesse Jackson, Howard Dean, Newt Gingrich, everybody."

(From Andrew Ferguson's "Self-Interest Is Bad?" as seen in the 7/21/2008 edition of the Weekly Standard)
