SOTU analysis - Mostly unmemorable, except for a spark of energy when defending Administration policies in Iraq. His closing "let's do the people's business" could have been re-phrased "I'm not a lame duck." Well.
More reaction - Captain Ed feels the same way ("It didn't move me much") but Gateway Pundit gave the speech high marks and AJ liked it too. Q&O is all over the place.

An inconvenient truth from yesterday's speech:
"Let us create a new international clean technology fund, which will help developing nations like India and China make greater use of clean energy sources. And let us complete an international agreement that has the potential to slow, stop, and eventually reverse the growth of greenhouse gases. This agreement will be effective only if it includes commitments by every major economy and gives none a free ride. The United States is committed to strengthening our energy security and confronting global climate change. And the best way to meet these goals is for America to continue leading the way toward the development of cleaner and more efficient technology."
You mean... A-A-Al Gore was right?

Slow clap: did you post that prepared comment just to my blog or everywhere else?
I strongly applaud Slow Clap's strong and uplifting message of strength.
Slow clap: did you post that prepared comment just to my blog or everywhere else?
Good, good, concentrate on the most important comment.
The one about George W. Bush saying that global warming is established reality? And that the U.S. government should fight it? Thus repudiating one of the central premises of his administration?
Yeah, that comment you should let slide by.
