re: #318 WindUpBird

It was stupid then, it’s stupid now. Obama IS more eloquent than his predecessor, and it is ALSO a show. All presidential speeches are a show, and some leaders are more skilled at the show than others. You can really like Bush and still admit with intellectual honesty, that speeches were not his strength.

Come on! “is our children learning” was so moving and so inspiring that even Teddy joined the No Child Left Behind brigade.
