            <title>A comment from Down Under on President Obama&apos;s speech at Georgetown</title>
            <description><![CDATA[Yesterday I threw up selected (selected by the White House Press Office) excerpts from the speech that&nbsp;POTUS and TOTUS delivered yesterday at Georgetown University.&nbsp; I put it up without embedded editorializing or Bowlderization, to let you form your own judgements, untainted by mine.Argent, one of our regulars from Down Under, cut loose on it in the comments, which, because it's an interesting view and I'm late and working off a slow connection, am putting up where it will get more exposure.&nbsp; Argent's comments in italics.Take it away, Argent!I was feeling bored...As Prepared for DeliveryYes but who prepared it?Blah blah blah...]]></description>

                <![CDATA[Grimmy-<br />
Argent said that what our Constitution is missing is &quot;A sense of responsibility to it and to each other.&quot;... which is pretty much what you're saying too- and what I agreed to.<br />
<br />
Somewhere along the path, we've lost our way.&nbsp; This is not the country our founding fathers had in mind, nor is it what I had in mind.&nbsp; The problem is half of Americans seem to like this new path.&nbsp; I see us headed toward another civil war if this continues.<br />
<br />
The Left (and the Dept of Homeland Security) already has us nailed to the cross as right-wing extremists.&nbsp; We have a President who's &quot;neener-neener, I won.. get over it&quot; attitude shows just how childish, immature, and unprepared he is to lead our country.&nbsp; We have a vilified military, made out to be ruthless killers by senators praised for their patriotism and untouchable by those they defame in the name of &quot;I was just doing my duty to my country when I called you a murderer on national tv&quot;.&nbsp; We have a government who is stealing our children's future ability to support themselves.&nbsp; We have a society bent on turning the greatest country in the world into old-world China, USSR, Germany, and Viet Nam- at the same time that these same countries are currently embracing capitalism because they've seen how well it worked for us in the past.<br />
<br />
We're screwed if we continue the path we're on, but when you live in a democracy in which half of the citizen agree with this wayward path... it will only lead to escalated fighting.&nbsp; This will come to a violent head in the not so distant future.&nbsp; Mark my words:&nbsp; we will be forced to chose to be a part of the United Socialist States of America, or the United Capitalist States of America.<br />
<br />
As for me and mine, the decision&nbsp; has already been made- it's just a matter of whether or not we have to move to be in the country we chose to align ourselves with.<br />
<br />
Some will say I'm an idiot, and that it won't come to that.. and I hope like hell they're right... but I don't think they are.]]>

Nicely done. But, I do disagree with your suggestion that our Constitution needs more. It's not the Constitution that is lacking. It is, and always has been, those of us sworn to protect and defend it, against ALL enemy, foreign or domestic, that have been and continue to be lacking.]]>

                <![CDATA[Oh I feel embarassed.&nbsp; You guys have a very good constitution.&nbsp; I guess the trouble is it needs more.&nbsp; A sense of responsibility to it and to each other.&nbsp; Without things like that it's just so much words.&nbsp; Your founders knew it too and challenged you all to keep what they helped create.<br />]]>

                <![CDATA[Last night, at dinner, we had the news on.&nbsp; When Obama said &quot;new sustainable foundation&quot;... my 11 year- old turned to me and said &quot;Huh.&nbsp; Do you think he even knows what a 'sustainable foundation' actually IS?&nbsp; Or did he just READ that, and say it.&quot;<br />
<br />
LMFAO.<br />
<br />
What a good boy.<br />
(of course that was before he pummelled the 8-year-old son this morning, just before leaving for school... but that's a whole 'nother story)<br />
<br />
How sad is it that Argent, from Australia, can tear apart- no, DESTROY.. the POTUS's speech and get down to what he was really saying- and not saying, yet people within our own country can't seem to do the same?&nbsp; Of course, that, in a nutshell, is why The One is POTUS instead of McCain.&nbsp; All the world loves a good storyteller- and unfortunately, that's what we got when he was elected President.&nbsp; All fluff, no substance.&nbsp; And the substances he's thrown at us since being sworn in smells a lot like my puppy's cage when I get home from work at night.<br />
