which was an excellent appearance. I think after he signs off on a Republican-type benefit cut (maybe Christmas Eve, to keep it under the radar), some will still be taken in by the speech (How could a man who gave a speech like that really harm seniors & indigents?) But when it's done the teabaggers, Fox Nation, and gunsters will still detest him, and some more traditional Dems will hop off of the bandwagon.
