Gergen: Can Obama keep us glued?
(CNN) - We have just officially learned that President Obama will speak for some 70-75 minutes tonight. Conventional wisdom holds that speeches should be short, to the point and leave people wanting more. Is this a good idea for the president tonight? Bill Clinton could pull it off, as he did. Barack Obama is an excellent speaker, as we all know, but can he pull it off, too? A big challenge - and we will all stay glued to watch, or will we?
Geez, do we have to dissect EVERYTHING the president does?
Giv me a break!
Millions of people aren't even watching. So what...
Those who are serious and concerned will watch it all.
This is laughable.
As I watched President Obama tonight I couldn't help feeling the urge to say to everyone in Washington, simply, Get to Work for U.S. , the middle class.
