I enjoyed the speech last night, although there were a couple of things that could use a little work.
One, I'm not crazy about pissing too much money into New Orleans without some type of accountability. We don't need to be rebuilding a city that may just waste money that could be well spent.
Two, I don't like the guest worker part of the immigration issue; I'm not against it entirely, just the expected timing of it. I don't see how we can start a program like the president describes (or anyone describes for that matter), until the borders are under some kind of control. How do you legally allow a certain number of people through for the sake of work when you don't really know the exact number of people actually entering?
"How did it come to pass that an opposition's measure of a president's foreign policy was all or nothing, success or "failure"? The answer is that the political absolutism now normal in Washington arrived at the moment--Nov. 7, 2000--that our politics subordinated even a war against terror to seizing the office of the presidency." - Daniel Henninger - WSJ 11/18/05
