Where My Mind has Wandered

Obama's Inaguration Speech

Exit Strategy

I just listened to a good portion of President George W. Bush's last White House press conference. He has not improved much at the podium over the last eight years, and at times he sounds a bit pickled, but for the first time in a while he sounds genuine. I have to imagine his image, and  therefore his presidency, would have been different if he spoke with more ease and apparent candor when the stakes were higher.
