    Oh I don't doubt that, nor that you still wear em.

    C'mon chica del tigre' you gotsta give some credit where credit is due. Did you hear the speech? I'm sure Toby and Sam slaved over writing it but it was nicely delivered. Delivery is important.

    I can't stand when they read off those things.......when is the last time a President gave a speech and didn't read a teleprompter? 20-30 years? I dunno but I think they should be required to give most of them off the cuff, then you better know what kind of person you have up there. Presidents/Politicians are molded statues, could just put a mannequin up there and play a recording.

    And no I didn't watch, I can't stand the sight of obama, literally. Heard it was good though, for whoever Toby/Sam wrote it.

    Toby and Sam are the speechwriters on the show the West Wing. Rob Lowe and the bald guy. I don't care for the guy either but the speech was great. You're correct about the teleprompters. They don't do anyone Justice.

    Who cares? Everybody's after something. It's not actually a bad arrangement, amigo . . . as human history proves.

    Mentioned Obama's Selma speech, which was a great speech, however I think it also needs to be mentioned that President George W Bush and former First Lady Laura Bush were there too. Kudos to President Bush and his wife for attending.

    Yes the NY Times and the White House cropped the Bushes out of the pictures.
