State of the Union
I don’t know how to watch that junk and take it seriously. The audience stops and claps after every other sentence of a speech full of holes and vague references that he didn’t even write. Jim Lehrer noted that it was one of the most climaticically emotional speeches that he’s seen in his time. Mark Shields said something of a comparison between Bush’s speech (I use the term loosely here) and Reagan’s post-assasination State of the Union address in 1982.
I find myself in disagreement with both of those guys. Maybe my sensibility of a good speech isn’t quite up to par (at least I’m in a speech class now right?), but George Bush has yet to strike a nerve or chord with me to date.
I feel asleep during the speech. What does that tell you? =p
