I did not hear the President's speech, but I looked over at NRO the Corner and the comments showed clear disappointment. These are conservative, pro-Bush commentators so this is a concern. One said that the President seemed "defeatist".

Even Brit Hume seemed disappointed with the President. We are all pulling for him and want him to lead us through this crisis, but I don't know what has happened to the WH communications team.

I wondering if all the beating up the President is taking on Iraq and other things is taking a toll on him and maybe he is discouraged.

Then he didn't listen to President Bush. He must've been tuned into Blanco. I mean it's just such a stupid comment.

National Review is NOT conservative. They have some conservative policies, others decidely not. Some are pro-Bush, some are not. What you have are elites largely located in Washington (this includes the FNC panel) caught up in "image" over the reality that this is a national crisis.

The President had his priorities straight. They, sadly, are too caught up in the politics.

No, the President did not look discouraged. Discouragement is Shep on FOX if you've watched him. he's completely losing it and needs a break.

If anyone had the time to review, one would find that the perfumed princes at NRO Corner are Always critical of President Bush and any speech, debate or action he ever makes. It must be reflexive for them, as in knee-JERK reflex. I totally disregard their effete remarks, and use their website purely for info that they glean from others.
