The Incredible Shrinking Speech

I was going to offer some analysis of Bush's speech last night, but why bother. News coverage of the speech is vanishing and its been less than twenty-four hours since the networks were strong-armed into giving it primetime coverage. It sounds like the speech was watched by very little of the public and resonated with even less.

I'll make one statement - it seems incredible to me that the President would give a "stay the course" speech when the course we're on has been so disastrous. Can one hope the speech was all about posturing and that, behind the scenes, there are dramatic changes in the works? I doubt it.

In any event, Bill Scher has an excellent breakdown of the speech at Liberal Oasis.
