I need to listen to it again, but:

I’m trying to figure out what’s bothering me about it, because some of it was all right. I think it’s the “Gee, we’re all so very inspired, watching you struggle and cry out for freedom while being gunned down at random…best of luck to you!” feeling of it. There’s nothing behind it but the promise to say tough words later when the dust settles. (Not holding my breath for that, either.)

Maybe that’s not really what he was saying - it just felt that way for some reason. I just feel empty. I admit I have a hard time listening to him, and I’ll try to stomach it a second time…just not now.
