Just to note again, before I get more “Go write for Daily Kos” e-mails that I said the speech was good and important, made great points about the war and the progress we made. What my depression was about was disappointment re: the speech dynamics, Bush’s interaction with the audience–but that doesn’t mean as much to people who don’t watch way too many Bush speeches (i.e. most of the country). And, yes, as the previous reader pointed out, this was not a rally as a speech on a military base often is and should be. I’m not backtracking here, just clarifiying to stem the flow of angry e-mails focused on one post/moment.
