Presidential address and the water carriers

President Obama gave a really good speech tonight. The same however could not be said for the response. Bobby Jindal gave a terrible response. I will say that the guys giving the response are at a little bit of a disadvantage in that they are unable to prepare as long as the President but Jindal didn't even rehearse his family story enough to make it sound fluid. I think he may have just cost himself the chance to be Palin's VP candidate in 2012. Of course the GOP water carriers had no problem making it sound like the grandious nature of a Presidential Address in the presence of Congress put Jindal in a bad spot.... Like anyone had a problem showing up President Bush during a response....

Obama's Foreign Policy

I was reading The Emerging Obama Foreign Policy on Stratfor which for those that have never heard of Stratfor, it is a great way for your average person to get a professional intelligence report. For a price, a business can purchase more detailed intelligence services. It appears the biggest change in foreign policy thus far is a change in tone. A change in tone is very important but IMO is not the only change needed.
