Bush speaks, America more than likely yawns

Feels like I've heard it somewhere before.

Since I slept through much of the day (still working nights), there is enough rebuttal here, here, here, and here to go around.

What I'm tired of more than Bush's speeches themselves is the right sided blogs crowing after everyone of them about how great they are and how they will change the public's perception. They won't. Most of the public probably didn't watch the speech. And the same he said/he said news reporting that drives Democrats nuts works against the President on this one, as rebuttal is just a paragraph away.

Let's be clear. The President's repetition is not going to drive sudden support for the war. Misleading statements made to defend his actions are just going to draw more attention to the fact that he's making misleading statements in the first place. And that what the American public is now taking issue with.

It's times like these I forget how out of touch the blogging world can be with the common man.

*UPDATE* Reid's reponse. Where's the "Reid forcefully rebuts President" headlines?

Attacking those patriotic Americans who have raised serious questions about the case the Bush Administration made to take our country to war does not provide us a plan for success that will bring our troops home. Americans seek the truth about how the nation committed our troops to war because the decision to go to war is too serious to be entered into under faulty pretenses. While the Bush administration continues to stonewall the Congress from finding the truth about the manipulation of prewar intelligence, Democrats will continue to press for a full airing of the facts. We stand with our troops when we ask the hard questions, and with their families when we fight to get them, their families and our veterans the benefits they deserve.
