Maybe the big networks didn't carry the speech, but my local ABC, CBS and NBC stations did carry the speech, including FOX.

The network feed was still available to local stations. It's just that the networks didn't think it was important enough to show.

I seem to recall these are the same people who have said repeatedly that the President has not made his case. Here was the President making his case - and they don't want to hear it. It does tell you what their real motive is - doesn't it.

You've got that right...I just listened to some idiot on talk radio saying Bush hasn't made his case...right after he stated that he was at the grocery store when the Bush speech was aired, but he knows Bush did not make the case because he caught "the clips" on the 10:00 news...give me a break!

I had my own problems with watching the telecast, first of all, it started raining and my satellite kept losing the signal, so I muted that TV and I turned our other "local" TV on the speech as well. The "feed" was at different speeds, and one of my house guests from hell, who are not politically inclined, started playing games with the remote, making it sound like an echo as Bush was speaking. I calmly picked up a claw hammer that I had on the counter, walked up to him and told him "Go ahead...touch it again..."
