Alf could have delivered a better speech...you had to drink to get through it...

He did make three good points.
The first recognizing that education in science and math was a security issue, pointing out China, India and Russia, language not used since the Cold War and echoing JFKs comment that "America would not take second place".
He also reiteratated that companies that ship jobs over seas would pay higher taxes than those who kept jobs at home. Good!
Finally he gave the green light to nuclear power and off shore drilling which would solve our whole terrorist problem if we were energy independent and could just walk away from the middle east.
I didn't like a lot of the rest of the speech. I did say on another thread that my opinon of him was low, and that as far as hope and change went, I hoped he'd change. On these issues, he seems to have grown up. Health care is still a loser, but I do see some signs to hope he'll change. The bitch slap to the SC and the whole Congress in regard to lobbyists (notable by the deafening silence, were a plus for me too). Still have buyers remorse, but not as badly as I did yesterday.
