Obama, in his address, says the future depends on us. The most sensible thing he's ever said. Of course, he probably meant the future depends on our being his mindless supporters, but he also said we choose our own destiny. So he may not be getting the mob of lemmings he'd hoped for.
He says he wants to make the nation more fair and more free. Is fairness not listening to America when we say we don't want his healthcare plan? Is freedom being afraid of terrorist attacks because your president tried to make friends with them?
He says we need to help old folks like him. No, he needs to help old folks by not rationalizing them.
He talked about how we had to fail to succeed. Nice try, pal. There's no excuse for the kind of failure you've been exhibiting. He talked about how you write many drafts of a paper. Included in drafting is editing and rereading. Apparently the "drafts of a paper" part was lost when they wrote the stimulus.
He said asking for help was good; he does it every day. He says it's a sign of strength, admitting you don't know something (like how to be President). It's okay to be wrong and know it (you know, by apologizing for being America). Sure, he asks for help. From anyone but a Republican.
He asks us to consider our contributions to America, our problems to solve. I know a big problem off the bat: Barack Obama.
He says we all have things to contribute; we should give ourselves a chance. What about giving the unborn a chance to contribute?
He says he's working to give us children a better education--the ones who survived Roe v. Wade, anyway.
All in all, his speech was convincing and smooth, as usual. Which says what? Ogres' voices are sweet and hypnotic. So?
I'll get an education. I'll make my contribution to America: helping to save us from liberalism and helping to save us from terrorism (sorry, that's redundant).
