Interesting.
but if Obmaa’s policies are awful then the speech good or bad is a bit of a “other than that, how was the play Mrs Lincoln?” question. Does PatB like the speech but hate everything else he’s doing, or has he drunk the koolaid.
In short, the import of the speech itself is overrated.
Lincoln was right. People dont long remember most speeches. This one will be as forgotten as Clinton’s 2nd inaugural or Nixon’s first. If Obama is lucky, he might get a phrase as catchy as JFKs “Ask not...”
Gergen is so drama. Listening to him right now as Bama and his wife walking. “Im nervous for them, they need to get back in the car, they are so brave....” Lord
