OBAMA’S SPEECH: I don’t have much to say that hasn’t already been said, and I was too busy to do more than glance over the text, which is no substitute for seeing it delivered. But it seems to have been a good speech. The question is, how much does that help a guy who’s known for giving good speeches, when the real question is whether he means what he says?

Roger Simon, meanwhile, was moved to poetry.
