Just When You Think There Is Nothing To Blog About, The President Opens His Mouth

Have a gander at this and tell me if you think the President is committing rhetorical suicide one more time:

I can go on forever. Here's the deal, though. Here's what I'm trying to explain to you. We don't need to fear the future, because we're going to shape the future. We'll make sure our children are educated. We're going to make sure we do something about these junk lawsuits. We're going to make sure that we do something about energy. Why I wanted to talk to you today, though, is to make sure that you understand that in order for this country to be competitive, in order for us not to fear the future, we got to keep your taxes low.

Yes, the man can go on forever - this particular egregious speechifying effort was a particularly long snoozer. But in the end, at least we now know how to keep fear low, amidst all the fear mongering going on at the Whitehouse (oh, just for one example, the bird flu issue), it's to keep taxes low. Whew, that's a load off my mind. All is well, remain calm...the president is at the helm...is it the ship that's sinking?
