Excellent summary.

I will go check out the SOTU again. The "caving" meme was tiresome for the Senator, and is tiresome for the President. (People are so vile).

Made promise this year to not be duped by the shallowness of the Social networking, but will be a work in progress.

BTW and somewhat OT, found out what Obama tried to say to Kerry (and Brownie) about hockey and the Enforcer. In hockey, the enforcer is the tough guy- player that takes the punches for the team.

More about the role and tragic price here :http://edition.cnn.com/2011/SPORT/09/01/nhl.enforcers.deaths/index.html

Though the President's pun fell flat (even if it was a joke), the "Enforcer of this guy" line was directed at Brownie. Don't think he smiled when O said that either, he probably felt embarrased by that comment more so than Kerry.
