An egomaniac in a bubble

I didn't watch or listen to dubya's inauguration speech, my stomach just couldn't take it. Like Bull Moose I didn't expect much. The Moose did listen and was not disappointed.

.....has the President visited America lately?
[.......]
...the President was preaching to the converted. He was singing to the choir. He failed to offer an olive branch to the half of the nation that did not support him. While there was eloquence aplenty, political imagination was nonexistent. No creative rhetoric or proposals were expressed to heal the breach. It is not in him.

He is oblivious to the notion that he speaks ever so eloquently about advancing freedom abroad while he imposes economic policies that promote plutocracy at home. Wilson, FDR and JFK all expressed similar sentiments about advancing freedom in distant lands. But they also advanced equality and economic justice at home.

The Moose did not expect much from the President's address. He was not disappointed.

The Modulator had this observation:

As bush proclaims that liberty and freedom still mean something in our times the camera pans to security folks forcing demonstrators to take down a sign....

Seems a pretty clear message....
