May 24, 2004This Should Be GoodBush to speak tonight at 8PM Est... Did anyone know about this? Apparently it will be the first in a series of speeches leading up to the June 30th Deadline to discuss how the transition of power will take place and what is to be expected in weeks, months, and years ahead. This could be a good thing if the President is candid, honest, and forthcoming with information. The American people need straight talk, and they need it now. I am looking for details Mr. President... Don't leave me with "we need to stay the course." I want to know within reason who, what, when, where, how ($$$) and why.

I was surpised this am that according to my newspaper, the networks hadn't decided whether to show the speech. The news networks are showing it, so whether the over-the-air networks show it is irrelevant to me, but if they don't, it's an abdication of responsibility if you ask me. Even considering not showing it is lame. What would make more sense though is if Bush did his speech at 7 PM EST and asked the networks to show it at 7 in each time zone. I think Bush needs to speak to America more regularly, more forcefully, and more specifically. Bush has failed to use the bully pulpit to lead public opinion, and I think that has been a mistake.
