Achingly phOny

clipped from justoneminute.typepad.com How did you love the speech?  I liked the George Bush passages on American exceptionalism the best; yes, Obama was achingly phony, but I figure he was even more annoying to lefties. As to the eighteen month round-trip surge, great idea!  Of course, one might think that after thirty years of civil war the Taliban can do another eighteen months standing on their heads, but it carries Obama past the midterm elections.
