No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Sounds like he's got a cold.

Other than that it's a good speech so far.

Reminding folks that it's been 7 years since an attack on our soil.

Too bad his replacement won't be able to make that same claim. :bird:

Talking about "regrets" in some of the decisions he made.

IMHO...if it had been me...I'dhave said..."and given what I know now...I'd have done it the same damn way!"

W looks like he has lost some weight. Maybe it's because the camera is so close in on him.

BOR pointing out that the President's approval rating has jumped 12 points in the last couple of weeks.

Somehow I missed that in the MSM.

Oh....wait...

We'll be thinking that.  But the MSM and the Libs will never let that factoid ever hit the airwaves or be seen in print.

I suspect there will be more negative Obama press than he expects. In days gone by, news was 'news' - as journalists were taught they were to report on the 'Four Ws' - Who What Where & When. Now news is mostly heavily colored editorials, created to garnish ratings and revenue. -- Its all based on the toxic Fifth W - 'Why'.

At first it will be all flowers and wonderful, probably for months- but sooner or later, that will fail to pay the bills.

Then once The Mighty Obama slips, there will be a massive ratings grab to be the first to sensationalize "why" he stumbled. Outside of conservative media which will be on Obama like white on rice, the feeding frenzy will start with the late night comedians, and spread from there. Bank on it.

What the hell are they going to do after Friday when they can't blame Bush for every hangnail and pot bust they endure?

He is the ipitome of class and decorum. I am proud I voted for him twice and would have done it without hesitation.  It is the end of an era.  The end of dignity, patriotism and pride of this country coming from the WH.

Hell yeah. Now you're gonna have a treasury secretary who evades his taxes, a sec'y of education who can't f'n speak plain English, an Attorney General who obtains pardons for murdering Puerto Rican terrorists and a crook named Rich, a Sec'y of State who hates the military, a Chief of Staff who's involved in the Blago BS, and a President who comes from one of the most corrupt political machines in this country, if not THE most corrupt.
