Peggy is auditioning to be the new Parker in Parker/Wine Spritzer. Peggy, some things you need to do. 1. Ditch the subtle head twitch, the nonexistent hair out of the eyes ingenue demeanor. 2. Pick up the pace...I've fallen asleep between your words. 3. Get off your high royal horse. 4. Get some common sense.

They remind me of that movie with John Candy where he woke up everyday to the same scenario, never ending. "Groundhog's Day," except that it was Bill Murray. And you're right, of course.

A product of the best liberal arts education the northeast has to offer.
Nah. She went to Fairleigh Dickinson, same place as Christine O'Donnell. She gets to be a mascot for Marlo Thomas and her ilk. If she hung around with hipsters, she'd be the one Republican friend.
I used to like her writing. BUt severe NYC-itis has taken over like leprosy on Molokai.

Yeah Peggy. The Obama approved campaign tee shirts and pamphlets really raised the bar for Presidential decorum.

Obama is one of the worst offenders and only finds fault in others. That isn’t presidential, it’s pathological.

And Krauthammer said on Brett Baier's show that the fight over responsibility for the Tucson shooting was over and that Palin's video was unneccessary.
These Beltway folks never get it - the left will be repeating this lie for years - they are still repeating the lie from last year that racist slurs were hurdled at those Congresscritters walking through a Tea Party rally. And the Tucson lie will have to be beaten down for years. This fight will never be over, as liberalism shows no sign of collapsing from the weight of its own failures.

She should ditch the chin-in-the-air thing too, and so should Bammy.

“”He should have reminded his cheering supporters that it was a memorial service and not a campaign rally.””
AMEN! I’ve been screaming about that all week and I’m still not back to my normal self.
As for Peggy - her speech writing days were over many years ago and she can’t accept that. She thought she’d remind everyone in this piece that she knows a good speech when she hears one. SORRY Peggy - none of us fall for your garbage anymore. There was a time when you made sense - not for many a year now.

He sounded like the presidentI vehemently disagree. The text of the speech read like something a President would say. But when Obama read them, he did not sound like the President. He sounded like someone trained to read off of a teleprompter with zero emotional connection to the words being read. Compare Obama's reading with the real speech given by Daniel Hernandez (completely from memory - not even note cards). Hernandez spoke from the heart, connected directly with his audience, and came across as being believable and real. Obama was too pre-occupied with inserting pauses and inflection to even consider his audience.

What Noonan is saying, in the end, is that Obama is stepping up his game. Republicans had better step up theirs. Who do we have? Palin?
I wish Noonan, who was Reagan’s speechwriter, would write Palin’s speeches. Better yet, I wish Michael Reagan would run for president in 2012.... but I digress!

You have stumbled on the truth.
Obama and Noonan are elitist’s that think they have mastered the art of emotional manipulation.
What they don’t get is that we are on to them.
They dont hide their High minded ruling class mentality as well as they think.
These people are charlatans.

You will never see her compliment Conservative women because they are everything that she is not. She cannot work alongside men and be on the same level because she wants all the attention on her with her sickeningly subtle sexual flirtations. When you put the barf bag in front of you in order to watch her,it does not take long before her swooning and swaying with the voice overly whisper like makes you use it. she is getting more obvious all the time that she is very jealous of real women.

But the speech came into its own when the president spoke, again in concrete terms, of the condition of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords: "I have just come from the University Medical Center, just a mile from here." He had learned that "right after we went to visit, a few minutes after we left her room and some of her colleagues in Congress were in the room, Gabby opened her eyes for the first time." This was met with thunderous applause. He repeated the sentence: "Gabby opened her eyes for the first time." More and deeper applause. Something seemed to shift at this point. Suddenly the president was fully integrated into the text, he was it and it was him.
Stop right there Peggy

Did they actually have a jumbotron?
I was wondering about that as I watched it on TV.
That would be classic Obama.
