Fred, agree with you 100%.

I’ve been reading BHO’s speech. I can’t stand the sight of him, so I won’t watch. But man, what a load of howlers, fantasies, ignorance and cant. I love this line.

“As President, I will tap our natural gas reserves, invest in clean coal technology, and find ways to safely harness nuclear power.”

Damn, he’s going to single handedly safely harness nuclear power! Lucky for him that was figured out forty years ago.

And I like this one.

“Because one of the things that we have to change in our politics is the idea that people cannot disagree without challenging each other’s character and patriotism.”

Why bother challenging their patriotism when you can just threaten to have them put in prison if they don’t shut up? That’s the Obama way!

Man, I’ve read three of the four pages posted by ABC, and I can save you the trouble by summing it up thusly: “America under Bush is hell on earth. I will make it heaven.”

What a ghastly creature.
