President Obama's address to congress was, well, amazing. It's amazing what can be said by someone who knows how to speak in complete sentences. It was amazing to listen to someone who actually talks to EVERYONE around him, Democrats, Republicans, the person on the street. It was amazing to listen to someone with ideas and vision and a genuine concern for the people of this country and the world. (Get over it, we are part of this world and have to consider our neighbors on the small planet!) It was amazing to listen to someone who has a plan!
OMG! I just had a real fangirly moment!
Then, the Republican rebuttal. I hate to say this, but the word "cringeworthy" is the kindest word I can come up with. Governor Jindal was spouting the same lies (He brought up the mythical high speed train from LA to Vegas. Good grief, when are they going to stop flogging that dead horse?) He chanted "we can do anything" in a tone that reminded me of the kind of used car salesman you should run from. As Sentor Boxer just said, it really did sound like Jindal's speech was written earlier today. My impression is that is was written yesterday, over coffee, and they pulled all the talking points from McCain's stump speeches from last year's campaign. Is that plagerism?
