Thanks lawgirl. The President looks tired and drawn. He also has lost some weight. There can be no greater burden than sending your men to war.
I had exactly the same reaction to those pics, he looked pale and tired. However, I really think that's just the lighting and coloring of the pictures, because I'm sitting here watching the speech, and he is energized, he is forceful, and he looks really good. His speech was terrific! Rush was right, there's so much in his expression that you miss from just hearing him talk rather than seeing it too.
Was it just me, or was he tearing up a lot at certain points?
Lawgirl, that quote you picked out is fabulous!
BTW, if anyone has suggestions on hosting and making audio/video files available, let me know. I have the capability of making a *.avi file of the speech, but I don't know how to make it available for people to download.
