His sentences didn't seem to have any verbs, which was par for a politician. All nouns, no action.

About This Quote

Barack Obama's campaign slogan is “Yes, we can.” In this case, I'm not referring to the campaign itself. Rather, I'm referring to the way in which his speeches have been written. His speeches consist of nouns and phrases that don't include verbs. This is a common trait among politicians, but it's a trait that's highly irritating to me. If you want to influence people to take action, you need verbs.
