- 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. - Reply to this comment

- 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. - Reply to this comment
- 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 . . .

- 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.

- dzemog1, I''d be happier if Obama would keep quiet until he is ACTUALLY THE REAL president.

- Here he goes flip flopping again this time on the one president at a time. Will CBS keep tabs on his flip flops once he becomes president for real? Total should be impressive!

- What happened to the "there''s only one president at a time" approach? I guess that only applies to situations that are not uncomfortable for the One.

- I''''m sick and tired of this guy''''s running off at the mouth. He wastes time and says nothing. He''''s so full of himself, which is why he has to get in everybody''''s face with his vapid verbiage. Unfortunately, there are far too many who actually think that what he has to say really matters, the very same who voted for him.
How true. All he does is TALK. Is he going to do anything? I don''t think so. - Reply to this comment
- So-called neocons, which I''m not, don''t have an exclusivity on the bully pulpit or being screwball; it''s something that''s equal opportunity. Obama is full of himself and his vapid verbiage. Change we can all believe in - NOT!

Well, at least you got the Loony part right. - Reply to this comment
- Every Real American should be afraid, very afraid of hussein''''s plans to socialize America by RE-DISTRUBUTING YOUR WEALTH to his "friends".
Since most of hussein''''s supporters don''''t contribute to society, don''''t earn meaningful income and therefore don''''t pay taxes, hussein plans to re-distribute wealth by giving the tax money paid by hard-working, successful Americans to these people via a tax credit. For example, consider those college pukes that primarily live off their parents for drug money (and probably will do so for the rest of their lives). Say they earn a few dollars flipping-burgers, and pay no income taxes. Under hussein''''s plan, even these pukes WILL GET A CHECK OF $1000 FROM THE IRS.

Frankly LoonyLeft, you''re the one who scares me. I didn''t vote for McCain but you won''t see me posting disgusting inflamatory hate about him. Maybe it''s time for you to grow up and act like an actual adult. The only place for your kind of hate is h*ell. If this is all you''ve got to offer, maybe you should go there...
By the way, I''m an Obama supporter. All of my friends are Obama supporters. ALL of us have MBA''s and NONE of us flip handburgers for a living. Get a grip!! - Reply to this comment
