I didn't watch Obama's speech tonight; I'm assuming it's part bullshit on "withdrawing troops" and part "investing in America!" bullshit which, from what we can tell so far, means investing in zillionaires via tax breaks and loopholes. Obama can't sell free healthcare or really, REALLY fast trains, so excuse me while I roll my eyes at some "primetime speech.".
Yes, I know that his pragmatism (which is why I voted for him, and will again) will have me applauding with wonder in 2014, but remember, Camelot was 1961, not 1994-2003. At some point, exceptionalism is worth it.
