It must be obvious to virtually everyone that there is a great distinction between X42 and George W. Bush as they enter to Congressional applause--X42 simply soaking up attention while President Bush is entering as the President of the United States.

This may be the most ironic thing about X42--as much as he craved the "job" (as he called it) of President he could never fully fill the OFFICE because he was forever focused on himself rather than the office.

That is very very well put. Clintoon's goal was to be President for himself, not the country.

George W. Bush, as tonight should make perfectly clear, is President for the country, and the world should think itself fortunate.

That reminds me of something else I believe Tom Brokaw said. Someone made a comment about how surely President Bush, in this speech, is thinking about his place in history. That ticked me off. It is very apparent that GW's love of his country far outweighs any concerns he has for his place in history.
