On The Shoulders Of Giants

I dissected Hillary’s non-concession speech and Obama’s victory speech. I also have done something a little new.

Hillary’s speech:
Congratulates to Obama. (+)
Damage control. (0)
I have seen this and seen that. (0)
She’s talking about herself too much. (-)
Damage control. (0)
“What does she want? End the war, health care, children, 18m voted! ” (-/?)
Back to the problems. (-)
She’s picking an issue? Health insurance. (0)
Where do we go from here? No decisions tonight! (-/?)
My mother, 89. (+)

The contrast couldn’t be any sharper. (I mean, hypothetically it could. I’m just exaggerating to make a point)
