That's my Governor.  He said much more in 13 minutes than the 75 minute Castroish harangue from Washington.

Clearly more that you liked but simply more of the same rhetoric that gave us the last 8 years. Could have written the speech.  "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result"

Actually I believe it's all Gerald Ford's fault.

Obama's been in there a year.  His party has controlled the legislature for 3 years.

Peter could you check out if Shadow is actually some sort of "Blame Bush" Bot.

Great speech.  Especially the two references to TJ and the one to Scripture.

BDS (Bush Derangement Syndrome) is bad enough by itself.  But when coupled with LKDD (Liberal Knowledge Deficit Disorder), the synergistic effect becomes almost too sad and pathetic to watch.  It may even require a review by one of 0bama's "life" panels..

Text of McDonnell's response.

Some excerpts.  McDonnell is also a retired Lt. Col in the Army Reserves with a daughter who served in the Army overseas.

Quote
Americans were shocked on Christmas Day to learn of the attempted bombing of a flight to Detroit.  This foreign terror suspect was given the same legal rights as a U.S. citizen, and immediately stopped providing critical intelligence.

As Senator-elect Scott Brown says, we should be spending taxpayer dollars to defeat terrorists, not to protect them.


Quote
Over-regulating employers won’t create more employment; overtaxing investors won’t foster more investment.

Top-down one-size fits all decision making should not replace the personal choices of free people in a free market, nor undermine the proper role of state and local governments in our system of federalism. As our Founders clearly stated, and we Governors understand, government closest to the people governs best.


Quote
Here at home government must help foster a society in which all our people can use their God-given talents in liberty to pursue the American Dream. Republicans know that government cannot guarantee individual outcomes, but we strongly believe that it must guarantee equality of opportunity for all.

That opportunity exists best in a democracy which promotes free enterprise, economic growth, strong families, and individual achievement.

A great commentary (with data) on McDonnell's "presentation" was offered last evening by Colbert. (not posted yet)
