I
accidentally DVR’d the President’s speech on Sunday night. I didn’t
watch the speech itself, because I don’t watch any speeches these days,
but I did catch Brian Williams’s (MSNBC) intro to the speech and it was
an eye opener. Here’s my transcription of the intro with Williams’s
verbal emphasis bolded:
President Obama has requested air time from the
television networks tonight to speak from the East Room of the White
House and tell the American people that unless the debt ceiling is
raised the US will suffer incalculable damage and the economy will
default. And in keeping with the back and forth nature of what has
become a toxic debate in Washington, two minutes after the Presidents
finish we will go to the Speaker of the House.
The “economy will default”? What the hell? And since when is the
opposition response considered part of a “toxic” debate? [Shannon
