  1. Newt and the man on the moon: Gingrich's lifelong space fascination. ow.ly/8HSG4
  2. A thought: If Ron Paul was willing to hedge his foreign policy views wouldn't he be a serious contender for GOP nomination?
  3. Elian Gonzalez is 18 years old. Which means I am really, really, old. ow.ly/7S2iI
  4. My first thoughts post on Obama Oval Office speech here: http://ht.ly/1Z1wL
  5. And that's it. 18 minutes (or so) long...check out The Fix shortly for a few first thoughts on what we just saw/heard.
  6. "We pray that a hand may guide us through the storm to a brighter day." -- Prez O.
  7. This is vintage Obama...poetic rhetoric...a traditional approach...blunt speaking at the start, call to a higher cause at the end.
  8. RT @chefchip "Flinstones used only sustainable fuels, feet, dinosaurs, and mammoths" SO TRUE!
  9. Obama compares energy efforts to ramp up of WWII and landing man on moon.
  10. "The one approach I will not accept is inaction." -- Prez O on energy proposals.
  11. "There are costs associated with this transition." -- Prez O sez as Dems in Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania etc grimace.
  12. Dems have been trying to make the clean energy=job creation argument for months now. Not a quick sell to date.
  13. "The time to embrace a clean energy future is now...now is the moment for this generation to embark on a national mission." -- Prez O
  14. What would Fred Flintstone think of the anti-fossil fuels rhetoric?
  15. Here comes the pivot...Obama making the case for cutting our oil dependence....
  16. Minerals Management Service "emblematic of a failed philosophy that views all regulation with hostility". U listening Prez Bush?
  17. "I want to know why" the protocols weren't followed, sez Prez O. Very personal.
  18. ABC has the Ray Mabus pic ready at hand for when Prez O mentions him. Nice advance work!
  19. Obama as aggressor: Says he will meet with BP head tomorrow and tell him to set aside fund to pay for compensation after spill.
  20. All symbolism tonight is battle/war. Prez O just referenced the "siege" under way.
