Wow, this guy is good. I don’t know who he is and what they’ve done with the Real Obama. You know, the one that thinks Bush’s last name is “Fault” and can’t pronounce the word “Tollybon” or “Pockeeston”.

I’m sure the real Obama will be back soon, bowing and apologizing for America.

Thank GOD that’s over. What a waste of air time. He made a fool out of himself - as usual.

Krauthammer: Obama’s speech was flat...no purpose. I would have expected a vision and purpose abroad. ...Remarkably without vision.

Juan Williams: I thought it was a terrific speech.

Obama can always count on Juan.

Ok..he had a creative (ugh) phrase, written by some sophomore somewhere...that our military are the steel in our ship of state. But he, as the pretend captain, drove that ship on the rocks and put a huge hole in it.

No, he asked for a meeting in El Paso on border issues and was informed Obama wasn’t available but he could meet with Napolitano if he wished. Thank God Perry refused.

And naturally Juan Williams thought this was a great speech. What a complete waste of space...

Did I hear him say “in an age where we don’t sign surrenders?’

"IMHO, he is under the inflence of some illegal substance."

That plus him being over vacationed!! He's flat & speaking in a monotone. Nothing spontaneous!!

Juan Williams just said that he thought it was a terrifi speech. Poor Juan!!

Krauthamer: The speech was flat and odd! Interesting aspect and oddest is how he tacked on the economics of the war. For a speech about the end of a war it was without vision and without the economics he inserted, it showed he is more interested in domestic policy.

Juan -- great speech, blah blah. The fact he signaled out GWB was to be commended.

Parallel universe indeed.

Krauthammer slammed the speech and of course Juan Williams is praising it... no surprise from Williams.
