Obama's Use of Complete Sentences Stirs Controversy
A source close to the New Yorker reported the President-elect's approach to the English Language in the verbal form may cause some confusion and perhaps raise question of his elitism:
In the first two weeks since the election, President-elect Barack Obama has broken with a tradition established over the past eight years through his controversial use of complete sentences, political observers say.Millions of Americans who watched Mr. Obama's appearance on CBS' "Sixty Minutes" on Sunday witnessed the president-elect's unorthodox verbal tick, which had Mr. Obama employing grammatically correct sentences virtually every time he opened his mouth.
But Mr. Obama's decision to use complete sentences in his public pronouncements carries with it certain risks, since after the last eight years many Americans may find his odd speaking style jarring.
According to presidential historian Davis Logsdon of the University of Minnesota, some Americans might find it "alienating" to have a President who speaks English as if it were his first language.
Israelis Destroying Agricultural assets in Gaza
The BBC is reporting today that the Israeli army has entered the Gaza strip with tanks and bulldozers:
The Israeli military has launched an incursion into the Gaza Strip and clashed with Palestinian gunmen there.
Witnesses say the Israeli troops were accompanied by bulldozers which have been destroying agricultural land east of the town of Rafah, in southern Gaza.
There was no immediate reports of any injuries or deaths.
What can an attack on a peoples' food supply be interpreted as, other than terrorism? The food grown does not act politically. Israeli spokespeople said they were looking to disable landmines, but who plants mines with their tomatoes?
The US needs to re-think the support of this administration, or at least conditionalize it's support on more humanitarian practices.
