The president has lied again. He was not able to fool the Left for one hot minute. He said he would not make a political speech and then he went right ahead and made one anyway. Could this be the grounds for impeachment the Dems have been looking for?
The president may not be the brightest bulb on the political marquee but he's not a liar. It was foolish of him to think it was even possible to make a non-political speech. Everything a politician says, does or might possibly even have once thought is subject to political scrutiny. G.W. ought to have learned that when he got castrated for the nasty weather in New Orleans last year.
The plain truth is that it is impossible for the president of the United States to make a speech that is not political. In 1952 Vice-president Nixon made a speech that saved his career and eventually would lead him to the office of president. He made the speech because he was under suspicion of some ethical infraction or another. In it he spoke of his wife's 'old cloth coat' and his dog named Checkers. Probably one the 10 most famous speeches in American history. It is known today as the "Checkers Speech".
Was it about a coat and a dog? Of course not. A speech is always political even if you don't want it to be.
