With no links, you are completely unbelievable. You know that, don't you?

Here's one of McCain's speechwriters:

marcambinder.theatlantic.com

"Matthew Scully (born March 30, 1959, in Casper, Wyoming) is an American author, journalist, and speechwriter. He worked as a speechwriter in the 2000 presidential campaign, and served as a special assistant and senior speechwriter for President George W. Bush from January 2001 to August 2004. He has also written for vice-presidents Dan Quayle and Dick Cheney, and for the late Governor Robert P. Casey of Pennsylvania.

Scully is the author of Dominion: The Power of Man, the Suffering of Animals, and the Call to Mercy (2002), described by The New York Times as a "horrible, wonderful, important book," in large measure "because the author, an avowed conservative Republican and former speechwriter for George W. Bush, is an unexpected defender of the animals against the depredations of profit driven corporations, swaggering, gun-loving hunters, proponents of renewed 'harvesting' of whales and elephants and others who insist that all of nature is humanity's romper room, to play with, rearrange, and plunder at will. [1]The Washington Post wrote that Dominion is "destined to become a classic defense of mercy." [2]"

I guess Scully doesn't get invited on Cheney's canned bird hunts.

Did Obama write all this himself? His officials say that he did. But they always say that. There's talk of him dictating the first draft to his speechwriter Jon Favreau and the closing section, no question about it, was a long story Obama has used before. The central idea, though? Definitely Obama's. For nothing is more personal to him than his strategy for dealing with his racial identity.
