I thought Obama's speech in Tucson tonight was terrific. Instead of dwelling on tragedy and pain, he made it about hope and heroism. Perhaps this was because he was delivering it at a university before a mostly-young crowd but he hit the proper tone. I then watched a little of the folks over at Fox News trying desperately to find ways to fault it (hey, it's their job) and even they couldn't come up with much. To the extent something like this can help people move from mourning to something constructive, I think the President did some good. It's been a long time since one of his speeches lived up to his early standard.
