The man knows how to talk and he needs to lead this country by talking to us and letting us know what's going on and generally what it be like. I've never believed that we can't overcome anything in this country given the tools and the progressive leadership. The proles need to be reminded of that now and then.SagaciousHillbillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09511441325695460501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737268075572482842.post-67575183828163096972009-02-25T15:58:00.000-06:002009-02-25T15:58:00.000-06:00Nun: Agreed.I know she graduated in law and did co...Nun: Agreed.I know she graduated in law and did community work, but she looks like a model too.And I think she's just as good a speaker as he is.

Their positive ratings are very low.<BR/><BR/>As to your other point about reckless spending,I agree. That's all political stuff too. Reckless spending is alright when you do it in the form of tax breaks to major corporations but it's not okay when takes the form of helping middle and low-income people. Then it's socialism or borrowing from the next generation.<BR/><BR/>If persons living on the street lost their job recently, they could be real soon. They could go to the doctor too. If they're on welfare, they'll get increased food stamps. <BR/><BR/>In broad terms, I agree with what you say. I, too, have criticisms of Obama's plan. Nonetheless, I think it's the best President Obama could get out of the House and the Senate.Despite Obama's ascenion to the presidency, America is really a conservative nation. Other European nations like Denmark and Sweden already have both universal healthcare and universal education; and they have done more on environmental issues. <BR/><BR/>Once, they played catch-up with us. Now, we're playing catch with them.Mac Daddy Tribute Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01483912561779369669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737268075572482842.post-15766462354682535682009-02-25T14:05:00.000-06:002009-02-25T14:05:00.000-06:00Obama shined -- period.He towered over the silly, ...Obama shined -- period.<BR/><BR/>He towered over the silly, irrelevant Republican obstructionists on the other side of the aisle.<BR/><BR/>I think what Obama really did last night was reassure a nation of people who are afraid the country is coming apart and may cease to exist in another 5 years.<BR/><BR/>This is important. Can you recall a single time in 8 years where the Motherfucker from Midland ever reassured this nation? Even after 9/11, Bush sounded weak and pathetic, like a mindless middle manager at some widget factory.<BR/><BR/>Obama is the right man for the job. I truly believe he will guide this nation out of the mess Bush and Cheney created and set the country back on course.Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15788931352232874850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737268075572482842.post-87310690485176217612009-02-25T14:03:00.000-06:002009-02-25T14:03:00.000-06:00Daddy, I think you're right to focus on the change...Daddy, I think you're right to focus on the change of tone. That's what struck me most, and I guess I needed a little psychological boost, too. I wanted him to tell me what we can do, not how shitty everything is. I know that already - I'm alive and breathing the dire state of the nation. And it was unbelievably reassuring to me to have him talk left of center. It made Jindal's response sound like he never heard the speech...jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09581709224856007999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737268075572482842.post-45992110784268135832009-02-25T12:55:00.000-06:002009-02-25T12:55:00.000-06:00I voted for the President and I will support him i...I voted for the President and I will support him in the challenges we all face. However I do not trust that the House and Congress have the countries best interest at heart. It comes down to reckless spending, throwing billions at companies and people who are already rich. What about the average poor person on the street and living in a city apartment somewhere eating dog food.rainywalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13445164335609548931noreply@blogger.com
