Speech....

I watched obama's speech tonight.  Not impressed.

I did like the fact that he mentioned that the current Libyan regime was wrong in using "helicopter gunships and air power" against it's citizens, especially when they had no way to defend themselves against these types of attacks.  I hope that when the time comes obama will refrain from using "helicopter gunships and air power" against American citizens. 

Most of it seemed phony and insincere.  I didn't think that his delivery was very good.  He repeated himself far too many times.

I do have to give him a little bit of credit, though.  He used "NATO" fairly frequently and minimized his use of "U.N.".  That was smart.

It would be nice if he would refrain from using electronic technology to spy on American citizens who are merely putting their thoughts out on blogs. 

I also hope he won't use night vision and thermal imaging devices against American citizens either.  Our government has all the really neat toys, eh?  Sort of puts the folks on the receiving end at a disadvantage, especially when they have no way to defend themselves against it.

Oh well....

Stay safe.
