The President: Is This Really Our Language? (video)

Published on December 23, 2006 By Xythe In Politics

I don't know. Is this really the voice of wisdom? Is this a representation of American education?

HHmmmm...just blink your eyes for 90 seconds, and you too can be the president of the United States. What a command of the English language.

Not really. I saw the pres speak once a few weeks ago and was fairly impressed. That musta been a day he was on drugs.

If you watch CSPAN you'll see that probably a third of the people in our Congress speak like this all the time.

Noted. I'm going to try and devote at least 1 to 2 hours a week on CSPAN. I'm not a big TV dude, but I really would like to understand how our nation functions and who's running it a bit better.

You won't want to just tune in, probably. I luck up every now and then and find something interesting, but usually it is pretty bland.

The great part about CSpan, though, is their web presence. They have their schedules up, and offer a LOT of their programs to watch online. One program that I get tons of insight from is their BookTV.

Once I started watching it regularly, I found myself shifting up a level in awareness. Instead of getting the speeches and press conferences second hand from the news, you see them yourself. It's made a lot of difference in forming my own opinions, I think.
