Althouse on Obama: "It's the shrimp and religion combo platter. "

Thanks to Glenn Reynolds, we were directed to Ann althouse who live-blogged what is now universally considered Obama's WORST SPEECH EVER!

So full of banalities as to be food for late night comedy shows for weeks,

He cites a bunch of modest ideas that have been suggested and says we should think about them, then says that we have to do something, even though you could take all those things together, impose them, and still not break what he calls our "addiction" to fossil fuel. He blathers about WWII and the moon landing -- as noted above -- and talks about "what has defined us as a nation": "the capacity to shape our destiny.... Even if we’re unsure exactly what that looks like. Even if we don’t yet know precisely how we’re going to get there. We know we’ll get there." That is so hopelessly grandiose and vague, and to keep us from looking at it too long and despairing, he's all: Look! Shrimp!


Did his grab-bad of green energy saving initiatives include inflating our tires?
