President Obama's Speech on Libya

As sent to me via text by my brother and heard on Conan, this speech was titled, "No, I Was Not Born There".

To mimic the phrase President Obama is so fond of repeating: let me be clear. I am against what we so lovingly refer to as our military industrial complex. I am against any war or other military action that results in death and destruction. While I thought President Obama did an excellent job outlining the sequence of events that led to the decision with NATO and addressing many naysayers, I doubt it changed too many minds about the President himself.

Neither did cartoonists Mike Lester and David Fitzsimmons, as seen on NPR's Double Take: Will No Flight Fly?. In which camp are you?

I thought President Obama gave a pretty good speech. I find myself paying less attention to some of his critics because they are so predictable... no matter what he does, they will find a way to criticize. Even if they have to do a flip-flop on something they said less than a month ago.

Malcolm - I thought so too. Clear, concise, and thorough.
