I've got some fairly advanced adults, about a level 4 of six levels, who'd like to study an Obama Speech. Which do you recommend? |

Obamessiah�s recent Sermon on the Mount about CEOs getting huge bonuses while the economy is tanking would be a decent choice. Sure, chastising �fat cat capitalist pigs� on CNN non-stop before a paid, carefully selected audience is great PR, Adolf himself couldn�t have staged it more perfectly. Personally, I'm of the opinion that whatever companies do with their money is their business and no f@cking body else�s. They made it, they get to decide how to spend it. If they want to burn it in great piles in their backyards, then that�s their prerogative. Moreover, The speech should have addressed the idea that the moment you get government involved in economics, you�re handing the keys to your Maserati to a retarded 5-year-old, expecting nothing bad to happen. |

They specifically asked you if they could study Obama's speeches? |
