I'm very interested to hear what the President has to say tonight, because in recent days he's been sounding less and less like himself.
"Katrina exposed serious problems in our response capability at all levels of government. And to the extent that the federal government didn't fully do its job right, I take responsibility."
"To spread a vision of hope, the United States is determined to help nations that are struggling with poverty. We are committed to the Millennium Development goals. This is an ambitious agenda that includes cutting poverty and hunger in half, ensuring that every boy and girl in the world has access to primary education, and halting the spread of AIDS -- all by 2015."
"I call on all the world's nations to implement the Monterrey Consensus."
(The Monterrey Consensus puts a developed nation's financial commitment to helping poor countries at 0.7% of GDP.)
"The United States is ready to eliminate all tariffs, subsidies and other barriers to free flow of goods and services as other nations do the same."
Who are you and where did you put our president?

As long as he's still refusing to sign Kyoto, and still asking Condi if he can go to the bathroom, he's still the same fradulent bastard as far as I'm concerned.

Oh please, he and Condi are screwing in the bathroom in between his appointmeents with the religious right, and her busy schedule of insulting world leaders. After all, don't forget her slip when she called him her husband!

I think that after the speech it is clear that he is still there. Promising things that are near impossible to provide. And gave his usual fake support speeches with unreasonable promises.

Yeah, it's reassuring to see that little has changed. *Whew* I was worried there for a second.
