#2 Lt. Commander White has that hat thing going.
Good words with a grasp of the political truths.

#3 Excellent speech. Particulary enjoyed the parts about 'Hollywood idiots', the 'latte and biscotti' and 'blame America first' crowd.

#7 Nice speech, if you're into speeches. Hope he skipped the O'Club buffee and took a reading of AR 600-9 instead.

It plays fine with mplayer and the windows codecs.

#12 A well-written speech, fairly delivered (he does need to work on his delivery, but he's probably a bit busy). I noticed it was the seated audience that responded to his sallies against the slanted media and biscotti&latte crowd. More lost market for the newspapers and television news, I fear, and gained audience for the warblogs.

#13 my son and I watched it together - made me tear up. I'm proud of him and proud of America. Sounds corny, but I don't care
