I watched some of that speech, and adult is correct.

Amazing. Just when you think we've reached an age when all that's left in DC is a bunch of plastic interchangeable punch out pieces, someone steps forward and calls them on it.

I love the ADULT leadership, frankly. It's what's been missing in Washington for many, many years. Bush I had his moments, so did Billyboy...but before and in between we've seen a dearth of leadership...and a great deal of play ground bullies brought to the forefront.
