The last president (Bush) had problems but didnt say much about them. He knew he wasnt a good speaker so he didnt speak publicly unless he had to.

This new guy knows he can speak clearly and with some inspiration. So, he is gonna talk a lot.

Same problems, for which the only solutions are you and me working harder. But now we are going to hear about them a coupla times each week.

Change we can believe in. More talk. I beleive it already.

WHY GOP WANTS TO KEEP AMERICA IN THE POORHOUSE:
Republicans didn''t wait for the votes to be tallied back in November to start working on how to stop Obama from succeeding in office.
Any success Obama has in bringing about America''s economic recovery will further weaken chances for Republicans to regain power in Washington.
Republicans believe America''s financial success is not in their best interests and they vow to do everything they can to prevent it.
Think about that as your situation gets worse.

All he ever says is the same things - it''s going to get better before it gets worse, sense of urgency, tough on pork and investing only in the future, saving 3mil jobs, all the experts agree, blah blah blah blah blah . . .

Have I forgotten anything?

How many more speeches is this empty suit going to have? Seems like he is trying to convince himself more than anything.Also take note on how many times he speaks out the side of his mouth, this a sure sign of not telling the truth.
