and a bit more.......

The president's salesmanship, much of it quite defensive, made for an uninspiring speech. Obama attempted to compensate by closing with a rhetorical bang. But, ever the salesman, he felt compelled to offer something for everyone. First, he expressed his solidarity with the left by patting himself on the back for opposing "torture" and for closing Gitmo (one day).

Then, having gone on forever without receiving applause, Obama finally shifted the speech away from himself and onto his country. He spoke eloquently about how the U.S. has underwritten the security of the world for six decades, without seeking domination, territory, or resources in return.

It was too little, too late as far as I was concerned, but it finally brought Obama applause. Perhaps there's a lesson in this for the president.

WHAT WE HEARD LAST NIGHT

1) Bush's Fault

2) I could not make up my mind

3) POCK E STAN

Americans AND others are catching on to Dear Leader, AKA The Great Teleprompter Reader:

"Then, having gone on forever without receiving applause, Obama finally shifted the speech away from himself and onto his country."

despite the importance of this speech, I could not sit through the whole thing, for just this reason.

The Messiah is such a pain-in-the-ass narcissist. He really does think the whole world revolves around him (just like the 3-month-old baby I have).

It must have been painful for him -- not getting applause for being the Savior of the Universe. And even worse when talking about America got people standing up.

Me! Me! It's all about ME!!!!!!

just like the 3-month-old baby I have

"Message to Obama: A war cannot be ended a war is either won or it is lost."

"Message to Ike: A war cannot be ended a war is either won or it is lost." Korea

Message to Reagan: A war cannot be ended a war is either won or it is lost." Lebanon
