Russell Korobkin details some praise for obama’s speech tonight which I generally agree with and then notes two weaknesses of which this is the 2nd:
Failing to attack the Bush administration for trampling the Constitution, trashing privacy rights, and mistreating prisoners of war.
Perhaps obama, as candidate for commander-in-chief, did not make this attack because he does not have a problem with at least the first two items on this list.

Too bad he does not agree with himself (start at the 2:01 mark).
