I was just able to get online, but I've been watching this speech from the beginning.

I think it's fantastic. First of all, the setting is not only gorgeous, it's reassuring. I was heartbroken at the thought (as I first did) that the beauty and history of New Orleans was gone. Clearly, it's not, and this speech demonstrates it.

Second, GW is speaking to the people directly hurt--giving out phone numbers to connect family members, etc.

Now he's talking about rebuilding and poverty... I can't post fast enough to write my reactions to all of this. :)

"More families should own, not rent".. yes!

Okay, I'm rambling, but bravo, so far, President Bush!

I do not suffer fools lightly and you just proved that you are a fool. I've written many a worthwhile post to FR, in my 7 years here.

You came on this thread and were exceedingly rude and arrogant.

Now, either get on topic, or leave this thread.

President Bush is giving a great speech And he isn't bending over for the lefties either! He is actually zotting the damned Dems...in a nice way. :-)

No, I won't vote Democrat next time, but unless some Republicans show some restraint, I won't vote for them either. FE
