"He should have canceled the speech. It was halfhearted, pro forma and strange"

Reactions to the speech today. I actually thought it was pretty good. He didn’t convince me or anything, I thought he did a reasonably good job of explaining what he wanted to do and why.

People seem to be evaluating the speech based on what they expected from it rather than what the President was trying to do with it. Not a speech to inspire.

Views expressed are always my own and not my employer's, my church's, my family's, my neighbors', or my pets'. The house plants have authorized me to speak for them, however, and they always agree with me.
