Something strange in today’s N&R story Greensboro Mayor Yvonne Johnson’s endorsement of Barack Obama, who’s coming to town this week:

Johnson pledged her support during the press conference held at the Guilford County Democratic Party headquarters. She read from a speech prepared for her by Obama’s campaign but said she added some of her own thoughts. The speech highlighted Obama’s pledges to improve education and health care, create jobs, reduce the nation’s dependency on foreign oil and end the war in Iraq.

For Mayor Johnson’s thoughts, just read the first and last sentences.
