He attempted to explain the current situation should supercede (obvious) partisan presidential politics at the moment and I thought that was good coming from him...(but I guess that was the ONLY thing he really could have said).
Other than that he drifted in and out of talking points.
One statement coming from Barack that I can agree with coming out of any of his speeches, is surprising given my low expectations of the radical, partisan, empty-suit, socialist.
