ANN ALTHOUSE: President Obama’s lackluster speech to the Democratic caucus. “I watched this live, and I was struck by the dullness of the crowd as they listened to words that were supposed to stir them up.”

UPDATE: From the comments: “The crowd was dull because people who know they are going to their own slaughter usually do have that stunned, dull demeanor as they turn their glazed eyes toward their executioner.”

ANOTHER UPDATE: Fake Lincoln quotes?
