Matt Breeden Now

King Speaker of the World! To his credit, I am sure the operator of the teleprompter must have stepped out for a coffee and left the machine on auto-pilot. Simply hearing 30 seconds of the wise one’s words is equal to an entire 3 credit hour public speaking course at the best universities in the country. Anyway, this is not what I had on my mind, but i find it quite funny. Perhaps we have a double-standard here. President Bush is lucky enough to have his own segments on Jay Leno and Letterman that are dedicated to making him look like a baffoon, but not one of these is showing this slip that makes Dear Leader look like someone who obviously has no idea what he is talking about. Why do you think he remains so calm after his mistake? Because he knows that no one will see it!

Anyway, on to what I wanted to talk about. Responsibility. When we do something great, we always take responsibility for it. However, when we completely screw something up, it is our job to take responsibility for that as well.
