The speech by President Obama tonight was amazing for how little he really said. To use the old line, there was no there there. According to Obama everything is under control. He reminded me of the guard in The Wizard of Oz who assures the populace of the Emerald City not to be concerned about the wicked witch of the West -- not very reassuring and not very believable. We still do not know the real plan for cleaning up the mess -- if indeed there is such a plan yet.
I was surprised to see that my reaction to this fiasco of a speech was replicated on -- of all places -- MSNBC. Olbermann and Matthews were a chorus of condemnation for the speech. Olbermann said something like he did not think the president aimed too low, he thought Obama had not aimed at all.
Obama is the first president to make me nostalgic for the good old days when Jimmy Carter was president.
Obama has got to go!
