Last Act
Tonight was the last official act the Shrubbery is required to do before leaving office. That’s it. If he doesn’t do another thing, and based on past performance he will spend a lot of time doing nothing, he’s square with the requirements of his job. Amazing isn’t it. He has managed to make the Presidency of the United States the biggest no-show job in the country. There are things he can do, appoint people, sign or veto bills, etc. but he’s not required to do them. Nope, the speech was it.
If you’re interested MSNBC provides the text of the speech he was supposed to give. Who knows what he actually said, but he took 53 minutes for a six page speech.
They also have the text of the Democratic response delivered by Governor Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas. It’s only one page but she makes her point – we have problems and it would be nice if the President would join us in solving them.

Think Progress has blog by blow blogging of the lies and half truths of the Moron in Chief.
I just scanned the speech and wondered what country was being referred to in it.
He just totally refuses to accept reality.
I, of course, didn’t watch it but from what I have read on the blogs it was significant for what he didn’t say and what he didn’t take responsibility for. Thank the Goddess that is last one of those we will have. Now we just have to wait and see how much damage he can do, whether by action or inaction, before he is out.
He is the lamest duck I have ever watched in over forty years as a voter. His total impact will be negative for the next 11 months and three weeks.
