You didn't build that meme
A link to the You didn't build that political attack article has been added to the speeches section, but shouldn't be placed in a section reserved for speeches, even if the phrase was uttered on the campaign trail in a "speech". As listed, it gives the false impression that Obama has a speech called that. It would be better listed under Public image in the "News and political events" or "Miscellaneous" sections.

Agree, the article isn't about his speech, but about the controversy that arose out of that phrase being used as a political football. I've gone ahead and removed it. aprock (talk) 03:57, 12 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I saw this due to relation to the Trevon Martin speech, yet the Roanoke, Virginia speech is excluded? Should the Trevon Martin speech be removed? Or the Roanoke, Virginia speech be added?--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 05:19, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Also, isn't Category:United States political leader templates overcategorization? --86.40.100.33 (talk) 03:34, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Removed Category:United States political leader templates as overcategorisation. Category:President of the United States templates is a subcategory. Category:Political leader navigational boxes is also a sub category so request not done. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 09:30, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
