Re: The President's Speech

**so he did what that pissed you off?

I found his active fear mongering in the lead up to Iraq troubling and I
found he played fast and loose with information

**he was p[arroting the administration wasn't he?  And I am not ready to say
it was all loose information.

His highly secretive energy meetings that ended up seeming to benefit the
energy and oil companies more than anyone else. 

***seemed?  And frankly you have described pretty much every administration
and VP.

 I suspect had he not been in the White House, our push towards war in Iraq
would have not been as strong.

**I don't.  I see no reason to believe that he had undo influence.

  I also felt he was a hypocrite as he would grouse about former presidents
criticizing his administration, though he showed no problem being critical
of the Administration that followed-who were still working to fight wars
started by his boss.

***well lad di da.  So you are outraged that one politician was a hypocrite?
Are you equally outraged by Obama's hypocricy?

  People might argue that Obama laid the blame for many things at ush's
feet... 

***and they would be right.

but then, the 80's White House laid the blame for things at Carter's feet
all the way through the first Bush administration.

**because of course, it they did it first it must be ok.

That said, I thought his Bin Laden statement was commendable and classy.

**so far Santorum is the only one whose statement I dislike.
