What is the deal here? They must be cleaning the Oval Office carpet?

President was great tonight. Short and sweet. I would have preferred a longer speech with more details but no matter.

Hey, Wphile!

I don't think you can see the rug from this angle, it's more in the center of the room.

I bet with fewer details, George can make the Senators FEEL like they have a say in all of this...all while knowing that George orchestrated it! They will "own" it more, if they feel they created it. BRILLIANT. I love you George!

This venue (speaking directly into the camera) has never been this President's forte, but he's really made great strides from when he started doing it. He was great tonight - my only complaint was that the delivery seemed a tad bit rushed at times.

Thanks for nice photo of Ridge and Bush. Bush looks great, as usual, but Ridge looks stooped and thick. Reminds me of an old Russian politician. I really don't get it about him. Never have. I would think he's positioned to run for presidency in '08, hope he straightens up by then.
