Related: About this forumThat speech seemed reminiscent of the Bush years
It seemed like every time the heat was on, Ole W would come out with a speech about the military and pride for our servicemen and servicewomen. Then slip in a little fear about what could go wrong and how we have enemies throughout the world. Then get really patriotic with how the USA is the best.
Now I agree with those things, but it just seems like the timing was a textbook example of how to change the narrative when having a bad week.

To call it a foreign policy speech is disingenuous.
Her speech could have been made into an SNL skit.

It worked.
Yay, for experience!
