I’m finding it hard to come up with a legitimate reason to have this particular speech at this particular time. He is running a huge risk of things blowing up and actually having to take responsibility for the consequences of HIS upcoming policies.

This speech just seems pretty unnecessary to me I guess. I’m certainly not learning anything new.

Chief Dan George: We thought about it for a long time, “Endeavor to persevere.” And when we had thought about it long enough, we declared war on the Union.

OMG. Look at his eyes. He looks like a serpent.

He's angry we won this war. He was doing everything he could to make sure we lost. Even worse for him, it costs less than his stimulous package did.

’ Listen to how soft his voice is,, how emotional he is trying to sound. ..”

I thought something was wrong with the sound on my tv.
He was almost shouting at times and then he seemed to be doing a breathy whisper.

Says nobody can doubt President Bush love for our country.

This coming from the same bunch that libels Bush and Gen. Petraeus.

Let’s also remember that from 2003 - present 95% of the DEMS opposed this war and did everything in their power to own defeat.

He equated the traitorous actions of the left to undermine the war under the patriotism and love for the troops of President Bush. It was a cynical ploy.

Of course he is angry about it. Perhaps he should acknowledge the what, 24 soldiers who died over the weekend, he probably high fived his buddies when he heard the news. The Marxist has NO soul..you look inside, nothing but a hollow shell

“Why is the American flag so wrinkled?”

It’s been in the closet since 2008?

What's with the Afghanistan (three short A sounds) vs pockyston (two short o sounds)? I could understand always using -ston, but one is -stan and the other is -ston.

... And there is nothing new here so far. When something Bush wanted to talk about wasn’t new, the networks wouldn’t cover it.

Zactly!

He's now leading up to the Afghan withdrawal.

H'es bragging about a world that's not true.

"As the leader of the free world" ROTFLOL. What a colossal egotist!!!

Anyone know if the call to prayer was heard in the white house before this address?
