"A divisive speech to a divided nation"
Stephen Green drunkblogged President Obama's speech last night, so I didn't have to. Here's his final conclusion: I'm disgusted. And I need another drink. If I'm feeling up to it, I'll post a little Oh I'm So Wise summary later tonight at VodkaPundit.com. Or possibly not. But here's the short version: Obama will see a brief spike in the polls, but not enough. He delivered a divisive speech to a divided nation -- and that's no way to spur a divided Congress into action.I don't know how he could stand watching it. I didn't, and I couldn't have. Obama Burnout Syndrome is getting the better of me, and I need to take care of myself. So, in the interest of my mental health, I avoided watching the latest divisive speech to a divided nation. I'm glad this is a free country and no one makes me watch the Leader's speeches. Otherwise my Obama Burnout Syndrome might turn into Obama Derangement Syndrome. MORE: Ann Althouse watched the speech and found it boring. And I'm jealous of her boredom! Really, it seems so unfair that I have to be stuck being burned out while others are merely bored! posted by Eric on 09.10.09 at 08:31 AM

Here is a link to the best 30 seconds: http://www.classicalvalues.com/archives/2009/09/liars_poker.html M. Simon · September 10, 2009 08:49 AM "I'm glad this is a free country and no one makes me watch the Leader's speeches." At least so far. ;-) pst314 · September 10, 2009 10:32 AM The President never has been and should not now believe that he is Judge, Jury and Executioner. The population has been in control and hopefully will regain that control. Hugh · September 10, 2009 12:40 PM I've said that I've been burned out on this and one of the responses I got was, "That's part of their plan." Fill up the "conversation" with so much disinformation that talking about it requires too much time and energy figuring out the deal that people just give up and let them do what they want. Veeshir · September 10, 2009 02:20 PM Veeshir, activists like to hear themselves talk. They want normal people to get tired and go away. That is why most people cannot stand politics, and why politics is dominated by activists. And why activists win. It's also why I blog, because I can't stand activists and don't want them to win. Not without at least saying something. (If I can upset just one activist, it's worth it.) But I long since gave up on doing anything which would require attending meetings where I have to listen to activists drone on until 2:00 a.m. (I learned my lesson on the Berkeley Police Review Commission.) Eric Scheie · September 10, 2009 02:36 PM Yes, but she campaigned and voted for him as the SWPL candidate. It made her feel so wholesome and pleased with her intellect and post-racist academic self. She has further to go than we do. dr kill · September 10, 2009 02:44 PM I'm with you on that. Look at Obama last night, saying the exact same things he's been saying for a couple months now and we're being told today it was important and historic. The freaking Washington Post had an article (I didn't read it, just what I could read in the newspaper box on the way to the bus) with the subhed, "Offers specifics". I get burned out every now and then. I avoid the intertubes for a week or two and settle down. Veeshir · September 10, 2009 06:20 PM Post a comment
