the small group of " the president's loyal supporters" are the last people President Obama wants or needs to bring "into the fold." In the first place, those loyal Bushies wouldn't come into the fold anyway and, secondly, those closed-minded, my-way-or-the-highway neocons are the problem and can bring nothing toward the solution.

The speech did for both the American and the International audience exactly what the President needed it to do... and the reaction around the world proves the point.
