What I don’t understand is why none of the MSM coverage (at least that I’ve seen today) mentioned the second half of the President’s speech. Here it is:

Before I sit down, I do want to say a couple of things. I’m very happy one person who could not be here last year is here tonight, and that’s Bob Woodruff. (Applause.) Bob, we know it hasn’t been easy. We admire you all the more for what you’ve overcome, and what you’re still overcoming. And, Ava and Christine and Nicole Bloom, many of us knew your dad. I know life is hard without him. He was such a fine guy. But one thing we’ve all seen this evening is that he has fine daughters and I know he would be really proud of you. (Applause.) Someone who is not here tonight is Tony Snow. (Applause.) When Tony called me and told me the outcome of his surgery, my heart just sank. But I know Tony is a fighter. And, Tony, we’re all looking forward to the day when you come back to the White House. (Applause.) Last week we all heard the news about Elizabeth Edwards, and again, your heart just sinks for what she and her family faces. And so, to Bob Woodruff, the Bloom girls, Elizabeth Edwards, Tony Snow, and of course, our men and women in uniform, Laura and I and millions of other Americans are praying for you and your families. May God bless you, and thank you very much. (Applause.)
