A reporter friend of mine tasked with covering the Bush speech
for a major daily newspaper which shall go unnamed here (suffice to
say the outlet in question has not been all that friendly to this
administration) just remarked to me that the president “hit a home
run” in Annapolis and “really reclaimed a lot of momentum.” The
seasoned reporter was visibly moved just talking about it. I’ll be
interested to see if his true impression of the event makes it past
his editors…
