Rate President Obama's speech

[Torie]

I didn't watch the speech. I was on a plane flying to my 35th law school union. I got a chance to chat with supreme court justice Kagan for a bit. She is a very impressive person. Her discussion before with the law school dean and the ensuing Q and A were superb. More on that when I get back. She was quite revealing as to what goes on behind closed doors. I was also so very proud of the quality of the questions the law school kids asked. They were superb, sophisticated, pithy, and well phrased, and covered everything that I would have asked. It was really a joy to be surrounded by the "best and the brightest" as it were.

Enough about me; now about you. It seems that this forum has lost any veneer of objectivity it may once have had.  The correlation between partisan preference and the grade given to Obama for his speech seem to be just about absolutely perfect. Does that bother anybody?  Is anyone even a tad embarrassed by that?  Or does each side now consider than other to have descended to the bottom of the hackery pit?

Just asking.
