"Century of Freedom" is a good line. We should steal it. I also agree with Bush that minority students suffer from the "quiet bigotry of lowered expectations." Other than that, a big fat load of crap that tickled the choir and will melt like sugar in the minds of swing voters. He was more energetic than his other major speeches this year, but really didn't do a spectacular job.
Total lack of specifics, several "big government" style solutions (go figure) for health care and education and Pell Grants. But how's he gonna pay for it? Easy, my great grandkids will foot the bill. Sad little man, I'll welcome you back to Texas.
