A Totally Unserious Speech, a Waste of Breath

Clive Crook, The Atlantic
Obama had a difficult assignment in this speech, partly because of the exaggerated hopes for it (see previous post). Even allowing for that, it was weak both politically and substantively. My instant unguarded reaction, in fact, was to find it not just weak but pitiful. I honestly wondered why he bothered.There was no sign of anything worth calling a plan to curb borrowing faster than in the budget.
