Bush’s speech summed up

To sum up President Bush’s speech from Tuesday night:

Invoking 9/11 + ignoring the obvious while the public is aware of it = lame duck president

Let me just add that there was only one time the soldiers applauded during the speech, even though Bush is their Commander in Chief. That time a White House staff member started clapping and the soldiers felt obliged to applaud too. What’s beautiful about that is that most journalist on TV pointed that fact out, including Fox News. Even the captive audience didn’t like what they saw.

More detailed analysis will follow. I am writing on it for Thursday. Full text of the speech here.
