The American President on TBS ....NOW......Sydney just delivered

[Gloria]

the line about "Americans who hate Americans" (right wingers).

The last 20 minutes...when Pres. delivers that incredible "speech" at the White House briefing...

That's the speech I want one of our Dems to deliver....(other than Al Gore, who's been coming pretty close lately)

1. "Making you afraid" ---What a prescient speech......it's the

speech for today.........ACLU protects the Consitution...why don't YOU support it, Bob Rumsfeld....


Jeez, the speech for our candidates is in a damned movie!!

2. One of my absolute all-time favorite movies!

I always cry at the end when he delivers his speech and says that he was so busy keeping his job that he forgot to do his job ... and when he says that his opponent isn't interested in solving their problems - that you take a bunch of middle-class, middle-income people who remember a gentler time and you point the finger and tell them who's to blame for their problems and instill fear - that that's how you win elections, (paraphrasing, of course). Man-oh-man, I long for that kind of honest-to-god leadership. :(
