Bush Address: Us vs.Them

In the end, Bush played familair themes. He broke no new gound. He made no new news.

Say what you're gonna say;
Say it;
Say what you said.

Sacrifice.
No deadlines.
America is not alone.

Liberals will over-intellectualize their opposition - Harvard-itis;
Conservatives will quote Kennedy - bear any burden;
Republicans will deify the President - Reaganesque and Churchillian;
Democrats will crucify the President - Nixonian;
Historians will cite Vietnam - Saigon evenually fell;
Media will cite Vietnam - how many more casualties;
Young men and women will continue the fight - duty, honor, country;
Mothers and fathers will pray hard - pray often
