 Obama’s Use of Complete Sentences Stirs Controversy Could Imperil
Reelection Hopes, Experts Say

**) – *In the first term in office, President Barack Obama has broken with
a tradition established over the previous eight years through his
controversial use of complete sentences, political observers say.

New polls indicate that millions of Americans are put off by the
President’s unorthodox verbal tic, which has Mr. Obama employing
grammatically correct sentences virtually every time he opens his mouth.

Mr. Obama’s decision to use complete sentences in his public
pronouncements, as well as his insistence on the correct pronunciation of
the word “nuclear,” has harmed his reelection hopes among millions of
voters who find his unusual speaking style unfamiliar and bizarre.

According to presidential historian Davis Logsdon of the University of
Minnesota, after eight years of George W. Bush many Americans find it
“alienating” to have a President who speaks English as if it were his first
language.

“Every time Obama opens his mouth, his subjects and verbs are in
agreement,” says Mr. Logsdon.  “If he keeps it up, he is running the risk
of sounding like an elitist.”

The historian said that if Mr. Obama insists on using complete sentences in
his speeches, on Election Day the public may find itself saying, “Okay,
subject, predicate, subject predicate – we get it, stop showing off.”

Elsewhere, consumers who believed that Nutella was nutritious have won a
$3.05 million lawsuit, the highest award ever paid to morons. *Get a free
