I also thought both speeches were too long, coming to what sounded like concluding remarks several times and then starting up again. A sign that the works of several speech writers were merged. Now it's time for the media to start asking a lot of questions they should have been asking a year ago. From my reading so far today that's exactly what they are doing. Rather sad.
