That's not meant as a slam because we know you are a huge supporter of The President.
I thought he bordered between arrogant and perplexed. The content consisted of the same old retreads.
Clearly, he knows that he isn't any good at this kind of thing because he does far less than the past several Chief Executives who used them often as a PR tool.
On another note, the folks on his staff who should have known better really dropped the ball for him from a technical standpoint. Anybody notice the huge step ladder in the background of one of the shots? How could that have been left there? Also, the "running" colors in his tie? Anybody who has been around color TV for more than 10 minutes knows that small prints (even though on TV the tie looked single color -- it couldn't have been), cause that effect -- called more'.
I'm amazed that the folks at the White House Communications Agency (lovingly known as WOCA -- prounouced Wa-Ka -- to those of us who have televised Presidents) certainly know better.
Which, of course, had nothing to do with the content, but was distracting and amateur looking.

i admit that i may be a lil biased at times
, but with this situation, i really agree with ktsnake in that if you actually
listened to what he was saying instead of being automatically critical (not that everyone did this, but i tend to think that some, if not most, on here did), you (being the generalized "you") would've understood more of what he was attempting to get across. paying attention to his tie moreso than his message just proves that ppl pay more attention to things that
don't matter over the things that
do.
deltalum, you have to know that i totally respect your opinions, so please don't take that as an attack......just sayin.
