I have not been able to listen to more than a couple of sentences of a Presidential address over the past eight years without changing the channel or leaving the room. The smarmy mendacity of the previous incumbent was just too much to take.
This new guy, though. I'll turn off the dishwasher so I can hear him better. When it turns out he's on the air instead of the tv show I tuned in for--wow! Super! Can't wait for it to start.
Now when are they going to end the terms of some of the idiot commentators who are so wired in to the old right-wing orthodoxy that they don't even realize what they're doing when they recycle press releases as objective analysis? In the coverage going in to Mr. Obama's address to Congress last night, all the talk was about what this Republican and that Republican might think about what the President might say. Like who cares?
And after the speech, the Republican governor of Louisiana attempted a rebuttal that was lame and weary. Probably the big winners within the little Republican camp were the potential future candidates who did not have to give the rebuttal.
