With the sarcasm evident in his voice, columnist Charles Krauthammer gave his initial impressions of President Obama's jobs address to Congress by calling it, "One of the great campaign speeches I have ever heard." He quickly followed, "Unfortunately, it was given in...the magnificent setting where FDR, after Pearl Harbor...ask for a declaration of war on Japan. In the august setting where Lyndon Johnson asked for passage of civil rights. Here was a President asking for the passage, essentially, of a watered-down, retreaded stimulus package."
