Just wanted to post my quick thoughts on the presidential address I just got finished writing. I have to say Papa Obama made me feeling hopeful towards the end. He seemed to cover a lot and be very ambitious. Which I suppose is good over all to have an ambitious president. I liked his description of stuff in his way of describing to the public. It felt like a dad or teacher explaining to kids. (This is how the economy works...you see, there's this thing called credit...). A lot of what he was talking about felt very moderate in appealing to a wide range of people. But it also felt A LOT like it was a campaign speech and he was still in campaign mode. He even used some of the same lines. This just makes me worry since one of Bush's problems was his constant campaign mode. My personal favorite thing to do was add odd/inappropriate comments for the audience members they showed, like guys randomly walking out, people not clapping, people clapping too enthusiastically, or just making Penguin noises for McCain (which looked very old, boy am I glad he wasn't elected just alone on that). The republican response was interesting in that the Louisiana Governor had a weird accent to me. An Indian guy sounding like Kenneth from 30 Rock. It was odd having a prewritten response saying some of the same stuff that Obama did, but way to sound semi ridiculous since New Orleans got tons of money from the government for Katrina. Well now that I'm hopeful, time to go to bed since PSU was a downer dropping a very winnable game to OSU. Screw you Buckeyes!

Presidential Address
