It has been said that Obama's speech tonight will be a "defining moment" for him. So what is your prediction? Will he use this grief filled moment to take a stab at the other party in carefully veiled terms? I'll have to read it tomorrow, I can't stand to hear the man speak.








And will Zoro make an appearance?

[baritkello]

Yes, By saying how "some quarters have to tone down the rhetoric" while he brings a gun to the knife fight.

I'll have to do the same. Can't stand looking at him, definitely can't stand watching him giving one of his 'talks.' Plus I don't want to lend any credibility to the mainstream media by even turning on my teevee and making use of their crappy 'reporting.' - buck ofama

I'm betting he takes a stab at the right. Any takers?

Just what grieving parents, widows and widowers need too, they say time heals all wounds and political cheap shots are Obama's brand of neosporin.

[ThisIsOK]

Obama has a habit of starting out on the right path but then goes on and on and on....like he enjoys the sound of his own voice. Inevitably he ends up stepping on his own toes while in this "reverie".

I sincerely hope that he does pull this off. I would really, really like for him to do something that doesn't drive another wedge into the political discourse.

I really want to believe that he won't, but I'm only 60/40 confident that he won't. I'm gonna cross my fingers, though.


Although, I do have to say, since perception is so much of what happens, how I wonder if something might be said that some people are going to jump on as bashing the right, but will be unclear enough that nobody will be able to say for sure.

And will Zoro make an appearance?

I hope the President tonight take the opportunity to remind us all that despite the problems we may have with the way our gov't runs, that our established laws and that our system of gov't is not a real threat to the people. That the voices out there that insist on trying to convince us that our establishment is oppressive to the people are wrong, and that there is much more to be concerned about by anti-establishment vitriol and actions than anything the gov't has ever actually done to us.

If it is indeed a defining moment for him as President, the way it was for President Clinton after the Oklahoma bombing, than it must be said by him tonight that we should all be able to agree that our establishment is essentially good despite the cynicism we sometimes bring to thinking about it.

In his acceptance speech, he said something to the effect that although we have 2nd Amendment rights, that surely we can balance this with sensible gun control so that it is ultimately difficult to almost impossible for guns to get in the hands of people who shouldn't have them in the first place.

[ElegeExcest]

I hope he doesn't, but he is a politician.

[Pvfcadbh]

of course he will bash the right and right only and totally take advantage of the moment he lives the "rham principles" of never letting a crisis get away.......

[Zhgrlpil]

heh, they have already started - They have a LOGO, T-shirts and everything already...

this is a political rally...

Does it really need an offical LOG, and T-shirts? REALLY?

Why would a president try to make rationalizations following and in response to the actions of a bat shit crazy lunatic ? I mean look at what they guy was yapping about..........currency unsecured by gold or silver? Literacy? Those are not exactly your current front and center debate points in American politics.
Does anyone really need to be told how to feel after a nutbob twists off?

And to be honest, I hope he keeps it clean tonight.

[rassedgesse]

Zoro? Really?



Well this isn't Kathryn Zeta Jones, but she's improving. Maybe she will be dressed appropriately for a change.

[pharmaclid]

I just want to see if he's grey haired Obama or dark haired Obama.

That will depend on whether he kept his beauty shop appointment.

[LypeReexy]

Good to see that the right is focused on the important things

hair color

style of dress

[ThisIsOK]

This ought to be something else....It seems that they are handing out souvenir T-shirts for this memorial event.

We know our leaders oh so well!

I'm actually getting a kick out of two political appointees reading from the Bible......and having an arena full of liberals cheering!

[cholleyhomeob]

"hows that hopey-changey thing workin' out for ya"?

it's working just great, thank you for asking ms palin... now tell me how that hooked-on-phonics thing is working out for you!

[SallyIsNice5]

Very well done in my estimation. Exactly what was called for. Good for Obama. Maybe now we can begin to move past this.
