SpeechesThe NY Times has the text of both Obama's speech and the Republican response, given by Gov. Bobby Jindal, an up-and-comer for the elephants. The Obama speech I will leave to you, because I expect you will read it. However, you might have skipped the response, expecting it to be the same tired cliches. In part, it was, but it also had an excellent mea culpa, which could serve the GOP well if they stick to it: Now, the governor is one of those folks saying he might turn down some of the stimulus money (we'll see what he actually does - maybe he'll re-read his Keynes before the money ship arrives, and change his mind). We'll see how voters react if he does so (we'll see how the stimulus does, too). |
