Even Obama's speechwriters concede that he writes most of his speeches, then lets them polish and refine them. The 2004 Convention speech that is included in this textbook was undoubtedly his, even fellow legislators remember him working on it. You may question his authorship of his books, but saying it's questionable is really only raising the question. It doesn't answer the question, and as much evidence as you see that is against Obama, others see evidence for Obama. It's not a question of research or intelligence. It's about belief and the fact that each of us makes choices about what we believe and what we don't believe.

And as I said, textbooks usually talk about heroes, not these people you picked. Mention away.

I can't think of a better argument against home schooling.

She says leaders, I say heroes because she can't comprehend. In any case he will make the history books. I guess you don't get it either.
