Somebody should have handed the president a Red Bull before tonight’s oval office address. For a moment I thought Obama was going to keel over on his face.
That would have been more exciting than the snooze-fest he delivered announcing the end of the combat mission in Iraq. If you were looking to hear Obama talk about victory, you have better chance Joe Biden not ever putting his foot in his mouth.
Was it too much for the president to muster the enthusiasm for success in Iraq and giving that country a chance to live in freedom?
But, I forget.
The president rarely ever uses the word “freedom” in any of his speeches.
That tells you something doesn’t it?
What came across in this dull oratory loud and clear is president Obama’s heart isn’t into being a war time president. He sees the wars as a distraction from his attempt to remake the country into a Nanny state.
In fact, he used the speech as an opportunity to throw in a little domestic policy. I thought that was pretty bad form. But, that’s what you get from Obama- a whole bunch of bad form.
