A Note on the President’s Speech

by Stephan Tawney on January 12, 2011

I missed it, but some people I trust say it was pretty good. So kudos to the White House on that.

That said, I’d still like to know who thought creating a logo and printing t-shirts for the event was a good idea. And why no one bothered saying, “Uh, hey, this is pretty inappropriate and cheesy.”

Another note: Obama tonight effectively called for civility. Which is nice. But he stood by for four days while his allies, including those in Congress, accused conservatives of being responsible for mass murder. Now polls show the charges not working and here’s Obama to call for civility. Take your time, champ.
