Fellowship Foundation's Prayer Breakfast.

He touted it as this fantastic speech and how he made the President squirm when he totally destroyed Obama's policies. So I watched the whole thing and saw nothing of the kind. His life story was kind of interesting. His ideas for improving the country were poorly thought out. Surprising for someone so intelligent. There was nothing that impressive about the whole speech.
I reported that to my friend and others who were in praise of this man and it was like I had attacked Jesus himself. How could I not see how wonderful he is? I was completely blinded by my liberal indoctrination etc.
But It was my honest assessment. The more I hear him the more I think he is an odd duck.
