I have to agree that he didn't make the case to anyone who was against it, or to someone who saw only that press conference knowing little else. To the well informed, it was a snoozer. I found myself zoning out a couple times myself.
Pres. Bush doesn't do somber well in my opinion. It fit the occasion, but not the man. As real a side of him it may be, it is not his best public face.
A lot of people seem to have that view. I thought he came across extremely well -- very confident of what the outcome will be. I especially thought his comment about how the U.S. became a "battlefield" after September 11 was especially powerful. I do like Savage and will definitely watch him. It's quite a breakthrough to get an ultra-conservative on MSNBC.
I have to disagree. His remarks in the Cathedral on Sept. 14, 2001 mark my favorite speech by him to date. I rank the others high, but that is #1. And it certainly was somber.
Since this is a Savage thread I'll just say I've tried to listen and can't stand it. Not dismissing those who are fans. It's due to freeper comments I've given him several shots, but he is not my cup of tea.
Out of curiosity and since I am home with tv handy, I will check out the show, though.
