He talked a lot and said nothing.
Empty speech, empty suit.
Empty speech, empty suit.
I skimmed it-—you have it right for everything he does and says: empty and vacuous. He is the ultimate post modern creature, the organization man, the superfluous superficial chameleon.
Most notably he left out the word "embryonic" when discussing stem cell research and talked about the need for opponents of "stem cell research" to have dialogue with parents of children with juvenile diabetes. Of course, the suggestion was that embryonic stem cell research will be decisive in finding a cure for juvenile diabetes, which is quite a leap of faith - no pun intended. Also regarding his theme of dialogue was his idea of gay activists and evangelical pastors bridging a "culture gap" to get together on HIV/AIDS. Then there was the line "the soldier" and "the lawyer" having dialogue on how to best protect national security, or something similar just as absurd. He might just as well have sung "Kumbayah" and taken up a lot less time!
And, BTW, if he's so into dialogue, how about letting the Senate have a full debate on his "health care reform" proposal rather than subject it to the "reconciliation" procedure?
But he impressed the people of IN!
Empty speech, empty suit.
Like the rest of his speeches. He knows what people want to hear at the moment, and he says it. It's his actions and intentions people should be more concerned with. His words are a mere distraction.
