I thought there was a legitimate dialogue. What do you believe was illegitimate about it? Your comments and thanks are also appreciated. And I don't know if anyone of us can say, with 100% certainty and truthfulness, that what Barack Obama said he didn't say with sincerity. How can anyone of us know, with certainty, what is in a man's heart? The fact that there are those who are convinced that someone has lied in the past, and therefore anything that he or she says now, or in the future, must also be an untruth, seems to me to be a presumption, at the very least. And why cannot one regard the content and the sentiments of a speech as something of value and worth, irrespective of who wrote it and why? I take the example of an inspirational text of a revered individual that is quoted in a book written by an author who is later found to be of dubious character. Let's assume, for the sake of the dialogue, that the text was the quote of a speech by Abraham Lincoln. Does the character of the book's author have anything to do with the intrinsic value of Lincoln's quote? As far as I'm concerned if anyone in the stadium had stood up and said what Barack Obama said I would still have regarded the content of the speech as worthy of appreciation. But that's just my opinion.
