Obama Speech

I believe that Obama made changes to his speech to make it seem like everyone was involved in it and to make it more personal. For example, when when Obama actually says "Ted" and not him. I think he made it more personal by using people's names and by grouping Republicans and Democrats together. By grouping these two parties together I believe he was just trying to get both sides to vote for it and pass the bill. Judging by the editing of the speech I saw I think he made it better. I think the part that Obama edited about the Government sometimes having to step in to help deliver that promise was a good change because in the United States of America the government is ran by the people so you don't want to make it seem like the government will force everything upon you. Also, as Mike said in his comment, Obama more than likely didn't make the first draft so he was probably just putting his style into it. I also agree with the first comment by JCD that says people look way to far into these types of things. He believes that Obama was just editing the Speech and not editing activist government in his speech, and I agree with him.
