Sorry. I'm still getting used to this.

You remember what it was like under the Bush regime. Every time he got up there to make a "major speech" his PR machine would crank up and everyone would be talking about how it was going to transform everything with fresh new bold ideas...and then when he gave it, it would be the same recycled crap. The only thing that ever changed was his delivery, which deteriorated rapidly--especially during his second term. In a crisis, the possibility that Bush would ever say or do anything that might have any positive effect was always zero.

One does not expect much from a political speech. But I think it is possible that this one might accomplish *something;* and that's really kind of hard to wrap my mind around after the past 8 years. Whatever else happens, change will certainly be coming to all those old DU State of the Union drinking games.
