Reminds me of a coworker who complained that Bush never laid out his reasoning for the war. So I began to quiz her, had she heard this speech or that? See this article or that? No. Finally asked her where she got her news.
She said whatever she felt like reading in the WashPost while riding the train in the morning. That was it.
Bush had just given a major policy speech and she had no clue it had even occurred. I'm surprised she even knew we were at war!
You are so right on O'Reilly. What a blowhard.
That said, I wish Bush would get out like he was campaigning and make a speech like this about once a week. He can draw large crowds. They pass the word and the energy.
I hear that he is supposed to really start giving speeches...and that is good...he is a much better communicator than most give him credit for, IMHO.
I FEAR that too many voting Americans are like your friend, that doesn't really listen to the news...just looks at headlines...scary, isn't it?
