Obama's czars need vetting more than his lame speeches to
school kids.

Go ahead, try and explain how the two sentences are substantially
or meaningfully different.
This should be a hoot.

ScottW-


the first, is parsed as follows
A needs B more than C needs B

your original is parsed as follows:
A needs B more than (A needs) C

Try substituting this,

Obama's czars need vetting more than his lame speeches to
school kids


with this parrallelogram

You need vitamins more than junk food

Now, does than mean that you meed vitamins more than you
need junk food, or
does it mean that you need vitamins more than
junk foood needs viatmins ?????
