BEST OBAMA SPEECH SUMMARY:

"Obama's Speech: Let's Win this thing, But Only if It Doesn't Cost Too Much"

(Or take more than 540 days!)

RUNNER UP:

Obama Hard and Soft, Right and Left [Fred Thompson]

I was wondering how he was going to pull off the famous Obama split tonight.

He did it chronologically, and in two ways.

First, in the speech itself:

In the first part of his speech he sounded like Winston Churchill.
In the second part of his speech, he sounded like Lady Churchill.

Secondly, with regard to his course of action:

Commit troops for the Right, and then
Announce their withdrawal prematurely, in time for the 2012 election — for the Left.
It was clear for the world to see that we are without the most important ingredient for a chance of success: a determined president whose heart is in the effort.
SIGH.

BEST QUESTION:

Rick Santorum e-mails with a query: "Can anyone give an historical example of a war that was won after one of the warring parties announced when it was going to stop fighting?"
