Remember those glory days of yesteryear, when President Barack Teleprompter Obama could give a stemwinder of a speech and all of America would hang on to every word like it was the last life preserver from the Titanic?
Not anymore.
So far, the most prominent politician to comment on President Obama's Iraq speech is President Obama.
Doesn't anyone else care? (No. - ed.)
With normally tweet-happy politicians virtually silent in the online social-media sphere, the president tweeted four times in the space of his 19-minute address -- all via automatic tweet feeder HootSuite.
Perennial Facebook poster Sen. David Vitter of Louisiana chimed in criticizing the president and Sen. John McCain took time out from tweeting with Snooki to say the president's withdrawal policy "will doom us to failure." But then, silence. From either side.
