Well, all I can say is that some cook in scratch and dent aluminum, and some in tempered steel. His message seemed to me to be everything you thought, but with much more value than is easily apparent. On the surface, that part of his nuances always drive me crazy, until I see the strength of the undercurrent.

As a former ambassador just stated on TV, the President found his voice again today. I agree.

He produced the red meat along with the boiled potatoes.

I was delighted he again found his sharply-focused voice as he'd lost it the past 10 months or so.

Another reason I was disappointed with his uninspiring speech last night is that it was Sunday night, and America was home. Today, probably half of America was at work or out. If the MSM blacks out this morning's presser, the working-half will never hear tonight the major parts of the text, nor the tone and import of what he said this morning. And I don't put it past the mediawhores to do this.

I have half a hunch this morning's press conference was hastily called after the President's advisors reviewed last night's well-intentioned, earnest, lackluster speech and realized the time for sticking it to the liberals and traitors was NOW.

(.....or maybe the President read my earnest plea for more toughmindedness early this morning, LOL).

What scum. I do not think I have ever been quite this angry at them as I am now

Hmm that's what I said yesterday but this bright new day brought more outrage listening to them whine.

Mega dittos Rush for saying what's truly in my heart -(paraphrasing now) "I really, really despise liberals with every ounce in my being. They're no longer entertaining and where once I laughed at them, everything they do or say now makes me hate them more".

At this point, I bet he'd be next to useless in terms of that kind of intel. >>

read up? where? what source? do you know what osama knows?

yea, we all read up and were led to believe that osama had kidney disease and couldn't live in a cave. Turns out it was a hoax. Don't believe anything that you read.

Take your own advice. You think he knows all the intel? What source? Do you know what Osama knows?

You've betrayed a basic lack of knowledge about what Al Qaeda IS. The whole reason Al Qaeda is such a virus is because there IS no "central command." You make Osama sound like Dr. Evil, the all-knowing EEEEEvil Mind, when in fact, AL Qaeda is a very loose organization--that's the entire point. They support terrorists who ARE NOT connected under a strong infrastructure. The people who work under Osama know s little of this and a little of that.

"Don't believe anything you read"?

Uh, ok--I'll remember that when I read your posts, in particular. Till then, please explain how you know anything about Osama if your attitude is not to believe ANYthing you read (your word). Where are you getting YOUR info? Because you need new sources, since you don't even know the most basic facts about Al Qaeda.

Heck the liberals are on tv all the time with their lying; they don't want the President setting the public straight is what it comes down to.

don't believe anything you read is a figure of speech....

sorry, I didn't know I was responding to someone who lives in a cave. and below are your words about reading up. You are now talking in circles. so I will now end this.

Darkwolf377: You really think Osama could tell where all these cells are? You need to read up a little. At this point, I bet he'd be next to useless in terms of that kind of intel.
I saw the TV on at work but didn't hear the speech itself. What's the tenor of the response--not one's own opinion, but what's the general (non-FR, non-lefty) feel for how people reacted?

don't believe anything you read is a figure of speech....

Since when?

You don't even understand the figures of speech you use--the phrase is "Don't believe EVERYTHING you read."

If you can't even understand the simple cliches you trot out--or the meaning of them--I can understand why you can't even come up with a response to my point.

sorry, I didn't know I was responding to someone who lives in a cave.

In what cave is "Don't believe anything you read" an accepted figure of speech?

and below are your words about reading up. You are now talking in circles. so I will now end this.

How am I "talking in circles" when I ask you where you get your information? Oh, that's right--you don't know what you're talking about because you can't answer a single question, you just want to shoot your mouth off. When you actually know what you're talking about, feel free to post again--which means I don't expect you'll post again.

As for your bizarre use of a post of mine from another discussion, I can finally understand your problems--you don't understand English. Typical for someone who writes a post for others to read that instructs them not to believe anything they read.

I did hear the noise in the background. Dumb war protesters don't yell the same thing so it can't be heard anyway. We won't tell them how stupid they are because they might start chanting the same thing.

see, still talking in circles, since you don't know common American figures of speech, maybe you're on the side of Osama, I don't no and don't care. Que sera sera, another figure of speech you won't understand. Later dude.

LOL You STILL can't reespond to my points, you still can't explain where you get your information from, and you still get the damned phrase wrong:

One last time: The phrase is "Don't believe EVERYTHING you read"--NOT "Don't believe ANYTHING you read">

LOL! Go ahead, please post again insisting it's "anything"--that's the least you can do to entertain us, since you still won't respond to the actual substance of the thread.

Waiting for you to fall on your face yet again...
