You are a perfect example of someone who likes to ignore posts as soon as you have the idea that they are not thinking like you.

I agreed that I wasn't impressed with the speech. I don't think that it was any more than focus-group-tested wordings, and it wasn't anything new--JFK said the same thing. I don't care whether he mentioned God or Buddha. I just didn't find it any more stirring than, as someone said earlier, your average Boy Scout on Americanism.

I like the man. I just don't think he's a great speaker. He speaks from the heart, to be sure, and that is why Americans trust him. But he's no William Jennings Bryan.

I don't believe that was what I was addressing..Mine was a rebuttal of Peggy's"Too much God" and the "perfection" statement..She is surely very aware of previous inaugural addresses.

I wasn't critiquing your opinion of her, Bush's speaking ability or of your fellow freepers.

Too bad for you, this administration doesn't do "focus group testing".

Your theory just went flying out the window.

It's not our fault if you don't recognize a great speech when you see it, but embarrassing yourself by uttering things like the above makes it appear you have reached the point of lashing out.

So sad to watch...
