Obama's speech

[ktheodos]

Thoughts on it?

i dont like anything he has to say

[AdamH1978]

What speech?  In all seriousness I heard about the speech, but couldn't care less about what he has to say.  I'm interested in action, not his undoubtedly impeccable locution.  He's a smart man, a nice man even, but he doesn't have a freakin' clue as to how to run the country.  Don't give tax breaks to businesses that close down shop here and send their factories overseas.  Don't give billions to other countries, ungrateful countries to boot, and then wonder why our nation's credit rating has been reduced.  Worry about our country first for a change.  Invest in our nation's education and industry and stop doling out American tax payers money to every @#$! needy and or greedy hand in the world.

I believe it was a very good speech. It stated ways to help teachers, veterans, short term and long term unemployed. It will extend payroll tax cuts for me because the company I work for haven't given raises in 3 years. If you didn't here anything good in that speech then I feel you are ignorant and a HATER. The bill that he is sending to Congress is called the AMERCAN JOBS  ACT. We should base our Opinion's on thought out facts rather than emotional rehtoric.

It's really was the same rhetoric with little substance.  Would have preferred to hear the actual points to his proposal and how it will be funded.  Too little to go by at this moment.

Was this really worthy of a joint session of congress?  All this time and it still seems like amateur hour to me.  Selling hope to those in despair by reading a speech written by others off of a teleprompter does not inspire me in anyway.  At least it was civil this time with no blame thrown around and there were actually a few points that were the correct thing to do -- but that isn't enough for me at this late stage of the game.

What is really ignorant is people who buy into whatever a politican is spewing out of their mouth to get elected/reelected.  Does the word gullible mean anything to some people?  Who remembers in Jr. High or High School when the school canidates promised new soda and candy vending machines in the cafeteria?  Did it happen?  No  When Bush Sr. said "No New Taxes" did it happen?  Listen to any politician making grand statements of future utopia and you will notice a blazing trail of deceit.

 :bootyshake:No matter what Obama say's Haters are always going to be haters and doubter's are always going to be just that. Get over yourself and your ignorance Damn were was all the negative energy when Bush was in office giving away money and massing up even wrose stuiped people only hear what they wont and thats why Obama will will agin all because of his doubter's and haters lol Go Obama!!!! Loved the speech.

              I hope whatever he does really works because the poor and hardworking people are really hurting...and they do not know how they are going to survive difficult financial times. When he took office fuel at the pump used to be $1.80 per gallon...now you are lucky if you find a gallon of fuel for $4.50. Everything has gone up in price because high fuel prices increase the prices of the products being transported. I hope that whatever happens now will benefit the people of the USA.

This man was campaigning people, nothing else!!  His plan is shot full of holes, and he didn't cover where this money is coming from or where we are going to cut to fund it. UH, it wasn't too long ago Washington was up in arms to raise the debt ceiling....HELLO???  So we just throw more money out there and the Unions can hire temporary help and pocket the profits? How can he threaten not to pay SSI checks a month ago, and then say he's going to cut the payroll tax which funds SSI? WHAT? Did anybody do the math in their head? What makes me so angry is that he verbally flips and flops like this and thinks the American people are not smart enough to figure it out.

I feel insulted, how about you?  No Obama in 2012!!  Time for this one term Prez. to take a permanent vacation.

People wake up!!!!  He only gave you sugar and spice without telling you how he's going to get it. Telling us that it's covered and paid for says NOTHING!!  TELL US HOW!!!  He's lying to us.

As for you. I have one thing to say. It doesn't take "hate" to see that something isn't working. Take your "hate' speech and use it on something where "hate" is actually involved. This isn't it. Get over yourself and get your facts straight. Research what debt Bush amassed in 2 terms compared what Obama has amassed already. Obama made a lot of campaign promises that got him elected, but never followed through. Do some research and get over your ignorance, before using the "hate" or "racist" argument, because it won't fly. Bring your stats and I'll bring mine. Lets compare!!

One question:  What happened with his last stimulus idea?  EXACTLY!!!  

On another note:  Learn to spell.

Obama: I am sending this Congress a plan that you should pass right away. It's called the American Jobs Act. There should be nothing controversial about this piece of legislation. Everything in here is the kind of proposal that's been supported by both Democrats and Republicans - including many who sit here tonight. And everything in this bill will be paid for. Everything.

What I heard: I am running for a second term in 2012. I am blaming everything on congress. The American people are so stupid they will believe this. I want to get the economy going again just a enough so that you will vote for me. I am set for life. Everything I make for the rest of my life will be paid for. Everything! I don't give a rat's *bleep* in hell whether you make any money or get a job. I just need you to believe the economy is getting better. Whether the economy is actually getting better is NOT, I repeat NOT important.

Don't forget about Obama and Bernake monetizing the debt.  This caused an all-inclusive, retroactive tax upon everyone and is part of the reason that even though oil prices are less than when he took office, gas prices are double.
