Our President is talking; kicking ass and taking names!

Addressing campaign donors, talking only the way he can!
Breaking news on Ed, so maybe not breaking? I don't know, but great speech!

is that his speech did not appear to have been at all prepared beforehand, or written by a speech writer for him to regurgitate as his own. His words seemed to me to be spoken directly from his heart, and they were delivered with as much ease as if they were being spoken amongst friends at a bistro. Compare that with Rit Momney or Sick Ranitorum.
