Americans have always pursued our dreams within a free market that has been the engine of our progress. It’s a market that has created a prosperity that is the envy of the world, and rewarded the innovators and risk-takers who have made America a beacon of science, and technology, and discovery. But the American economy has worked in large part because we have guided the market’s invisible hand with a higher principle – that America prospers when all Americans can prosper. That is why we have put in place rules of the road to make competition fair, and open, and honest.
BARACK OBAMA, speech, Sep. 16, 2008
“But who needs roads when we can have high-speed rail? It’s future-tastic!”
Americans have always pursued our dreams within a free market that has been the engine of our progress. It’s a market that has created a prosperity that is the envy of the world, and rewarded the innovators and risk-takers who have made America a beacon of science, and technology, and discovery.[ So far, so good.] But the American economy has worked in large part because we have guided the market’s invisible hand with a higher principle – that America prospers when all Americans can prosper [see proceeding]. That is why we have put in place rules of the road to make competition fair, and open, and honest.[non-sequitur. Your facts are uncoordinated.]
Truly, Walrus, Obama is a mass of conflicting impulses.
Beware the But!
Everything he says after the But will contradict whatever good sounding things he said before it, proving that he didn’t really mean it.
Well he likes big Buts and he cannot lie…
