Informed Comment: Flashback: Bush's 2000 Speech

Flashback: Bush's 2000 Republican Convention speech in retrospect:

Labels: Iraq

At 11:37 PM, T Lassagne said...: Did you notice that he pronounced "nuclear" correctly in 2000? When did he adopt the "just folks" affectation of saying "nu-cu-lar"?
At 3:09 AM, Tommy Times said...: Lines such as

"This nation is ready for change."

"We have seen a steady erosion of American power."

"This is not the time for third chances."

"End the politics of fear."

"On principle those in the greatest need should receive the greatest help."

could go verbatim into an Obama stump speech.

I hope that Obama doesn't fall into the trap of restricting himself to these boilerplate plates, in the name of the high road or something. He needs to go after Bush hard.
