I see the sky IS falling. I am joining you in ignoring the naysayers tonight. The speech is not bad at all.
I agree, the speech is good, and right for the situation. I just wish President Bush's marketing side was turned like this 100% of the time.. sadly, his biggest weakness is his strong speeches come after all the fourth estate, fith column, dis-informers have already put words in his mouth.
Not his best ever, but that was not the point, it was not about him, I thought he was quite eloquent, positive and proactive.
I liked the part where he said he was responsible for the problem, and also for the solution.Kondrake says it was "adequate. Boston Globe gal says that he has yet to paint over those people left on the overpass, although she gives him credit for some other portions of the speech. Krauthammer finds it remarkably ambitious.
