ABC News
So, I’m watching President Bush’s speech to the nation on Wednesday night – something I rarely do because the current political environment has soured me beyond belief – and listening to him repeat the same words that all of the analysts spouted on CNBC over the last 10 days. As he was droning on I began to hear something else under his words. Not some underlying meaning, but an actual sound. Like a bumping and a whining that would go on as he continued. Depending on what network you watched him on the sound was more muted or even louder.
Needless to say, it was quite distracting. Here is the President of the United States, trying to convince the nation that what the government is doing to bail out the financial sector is the right thing, and all I can hear is ‘bump-squeal-bump’ over and over again. It became even more distracting when I was trying to determine where the sound was coming from. Was his tie bumping up against the microphones? Was he tapping his fingers on the podium? Was Monica Lewinsky under said podium doing what she had done so well in a previous administration?
Regardless of the answer, it’s just one more reason to think that the government is coming apart at the seams. If the President of the United States, of all people, can’t get a decent sound projection device to tell his peeps what the 411 is, then we are definitely on a downslide.
