4. Maybe

"It's a big step in the right direction that President Obama is sounding more like Elizabeth Warren," said Adam Green, co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, a Washington-based liberal group. "It's not too little too late, but it's certainly late in his presidency that Obama is recognizing this economic populist tide."

The president declared that upward economic mobility has stalled for millions of Americans, and he challenged a deeply divided Congress to restore the nation's belief in "opportunity for all" — while vowing to act on his own "wherever and whenever" he can. He outlined an array of executive actions, including raising the minimum wage for new federal contracts, helping the long-term unemployed find work and expanding job-training programs.

In a written statement, Warren said Obama "laid out an encouraging plan" and "showed he is ready to take action now to help level the playing field for hard-working families."

...they didn't get the message about the "prop."

8. Please edit your post to acknowledge your parenthetical

additions to the quoted content. To skip that is to dishonestly represent the original writing and writer.

Thank you.

9. Get off my lawn

[MineralMan]

12. I don't think so.

It's important to identify your own edits in quoted material. Not everyone clicks links to see the original, so additions or changes to the quoted material need to be identified. It's just good manners to do that if you add something to someone else's content.

But, you will do as you please, of course. I simply asked you politely to do the right thing.

[Capt. Obvious]

13. And I asked you to get off my lawn

Yet, here you are.

[MineralMan]

14. This is not your lawn.

It is a private park. The lawn is owned by someone else, you see. We both have permission to be on this lawn.

11. Strident?
