Neal Boortz "Another thing ... no matter how wonderful Obama was last night in Tucson, we cannot let his expert and moving performance cause us to forget the agenda he harbors for our country. This speech does not mean that he suddenly believes in American exceptionalism; that he now realizes that the private markets are not "the enemy;" and that more government is not the answer to every problem, no matter how trivial, that faces us. He is still proceeding with his goal to radically transform our country ... and the Tucson tragedy doesn't give him that license."
The Non-Accusatory Case for Civility by Rich Lowry "The pep-rally atmosphere was inappropriate and disconcerting, but President Obama turned in a magnificent performance. This was a non-accusatory, genuinely civil, case for civility, in stark contrast to what we’ve read and heard over the last few days. He subtly rebuked the Left’s finger-pointing, and rose above the rancor of both sides, exactly as a president should. Tonight, he re-captured some of the tone of his famous 2004 convention speech. Well done."

Instapundit "ANOTHER UPDATE: “It was pretty close to a rebuke to his liberal supporters. He was telling them, and everyone, that the entire process of casting blame for a lunatic’s crime is foolhardy and simply wrong. He deserves credit for that. This sounded like much of what I and others have been writing since Saturday.”"
