I’m linking an article below that deals with diagramming Pres. Obama’s sentences (or at least, a couple of them). As with some of my earlier links, apologies in advance for the political slant; I think the article itself may stand on its own, despite the fact that I got it from a site that – like me – is somewhere to the left of Dennis Kucinich. And it has a surprising take  on copulative predicates, albeit one I’ll never bring up in class.
