#freethecadets So, I've read the President's speech (still embargoed until delivery.) Here's the Cliff's Notes: I shall not go on to the end, we shall not fight in Iraq, I shall not fight on the seas and oceans, I shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in our hashtags...

His "Osama bounce" wasn't that large, nor did it last that long , and it didn't really pull up his "performance on the economy" numbers. This despite the hacks in the White House Spin Room tossing OPSEC under the bus in order to sex up the story, regardless of downstream consequences...
