Dank Jonas (einem Arbeitskollegen) bin ich heute auf einen “speech generator” mit Obama-touch gestoßen:

Das Prinzip ist simpel: Man gibt ein paar Sprichwörter ein, die dann in eine vorgefertigte Rede á la B. Obama eingebaut werden.

Bei mir kam folgendes heraus:

My fellow Americans, today is a silly day. You have shown the world that “hope” is not just another word for “horse”, and that “change” is not only something we can believe in again, but something we can actually ignore. 

Today we celebrate, but let there be no mistake – America faces cheap and hot challenges like never before. Our economy is long. Americans can barely afford their mortgages, let alone have enough money left over for swimming pools. Our healthcare system is deep. If your left arm is sick and you don’t have insurance, you might as well call a politician. And America’s image overseas is tarnished like a chair keyboard. But flying together we can right this ship, and set a course for Munich, Germany.

Finally, I must thank my expensive family, my tired campaign volunteers, but most of all, I want to thank the waitor for making this historic occasion possible. Of course, I must also thank you, President Bush, for years of shopping the American people. Without your cold efforts, none of this would have been possible.
