Firecat,

I watched it too. As a sort of penance for future sins. And later read the transcript, to see if maybe I missed something. There was nothing to miss. And in case you've repressed the whole experience, he never did "get on with it". About on par with most HS commencement speeches. No sound, no fury....no nothing.

But then, he tried to make up for boring us half to death by some of his cabinet appointments.

Regards John
