if i had just dropped in from another planet
(yeah, i know, this may seem not too far fetched at to some at times)
and watched the afformentioned speech, i might have made the following conclusions:
-this was a pres concerned with the welfare of the nation
-his diction and speaking manner were fair, though obviously not natural, so he must have practiced a good bit
-he showed signs of sincerity
-was able to cite progress during his adminstration
-showed ony slight signs of negativity, an overall positive delivery
but given the fact that i have been aware to some extent the reality of what preceded this bogus display of attempted merit, the whole thing was reduced to farce.
if the us citizenry is not sufficiently, albeit painfully, aware of the reality behind the criminal bush syndicate enough to continue being vigilant in rejecting this sorry attempt at damage control propaganda, the staged approval ratings might be manipulated up to near 50% again as a temporary result.
at best.
this might just depend on if your kid is still alive and you still have a job.
these things have become a major concern of the outlook towards the us in nations the us has chosen to liberate even moreso than in the us...proven approval rating killers to say the least.
and the world is watching as the us slips further in international standing in most any, if not all categories you could mention. certainly in matters of foreign policy.
as for a two term limit, even this hallmark of democracy as we have come to know it may not sacred if bush does not wish to step down, you know, in the interest of national security and the crisis of the hour to come. another attack may well do the trick...
after all, look at all the us citizens and their elected officials have granted him with impunity thus far...under the decpetive premise it is all somehow for our own good.

I guess that would be the correct thinking, IF you didn't know the real motivations behind invading A'stan, and the fact that it was planned before 9/11 occured. .
