Inaugural Address

I haven't seen any video of Bush's inaugural address, but now I've read it.

I'm disappointed.

The early portions were powerful, wonderful — and I found myself wishing I could call it magnificent. But it was marred by two unfortunate phrases that I'm not feeling charitable enough to forgive. Then, I just tuned out when I reached the paragraph about Bush's domestic agenda. I suddenly didn't care, and wasn't stirred again until almost the conclusion.

That could have been a great speech. They must have changed speechwriters in the middle. :(

(Yeah, I know this is fluff — still too busy to do any meaningful blogging, but I had the itch to post.)
