1. There's hope for Bill yet. (H/t, Kevin)
2. Good marketing. (H/t, Fishmugger)
3. Put me in the camp that says, "They shoulda let the President have his petty way with his speech." Then they should have moved the debate time to behind the speech, and then had an hour-long group hate on his speech. And that's not being petty - there's nothing to indicate that the President is suddenly going to offer up policy choices that would make Ron Paul blush with pride and Rick Perry gush with admiration. With history as our guide - it will be more of the same that hasn't had much of an impact. Well, maybe it is being petty. But I don't think that makes it a bad prognostication regarding what the speech will be like. Now they have basically allowed the President to look at the debate, decide who he needs to play whack-a-mole with, and use his Grand Speechifyin' in Congress to attack them.

Au contraire, John. His policies have had a great, but negative, impact and made things much worse. Some would like to attribute this to cluelessness and incompetence. But in trying to be charitable to Obama, they ignore his long embrace of Marxist/Socialist, anti-capitalist, anti-American and anti-Western ideology. What we're suffering is by design.

I don't watch him anyway. I have drugs to put me to sleep and they are far less traumatic.
I'm with Pogue on the Obummer speech as well as heartless. This way there's little doubt he will be roundly ignored.
Ummmm, okay, to be perfectly honest, we were
mobile tackling dummiesscrimmage practice for them. But we *did* score against most of 'em (the guys from Buffalo were *tough*) , and we got paid in beer and post-game mentoring from our erstwhile opponents.We were probably the only collitch kids in the local gin mills on Saturday night who smelled like Bengay® rather than Old Spice®...
