The Messiah said "I" 97 times in one 70min speech. Whats that tell you. More of the same it was Bushes fault crap. Further proof that after VA, NJ and especially MA he just will not get it. See, he just hasnt explained everything despite the over 425 speechs and statements in his first year or the 17 speeches on healthcare alone to us dolts in flyover country. When we finally understand his greatness and the awesomeness of his policies we will of course agree with him.

Blaming everyone else and pointing fingers is getting pretty old. He campaigned for president on the promise to fix things. If he can't wear the big boy pants he should resign and let an adult do it. But, then again, what do you expect from someone that has never accomplished anything in his life or held a real job in the private sector?

It looked and sounded exactly like what he is, a small time community organizer naming enemies to "get" and agitating the faithful to "act" with no basis in reality for the consequences of his policies in the real world or the cost of those policies.

Thought he would get it after losing the Mass Senate seat but it didn't happen. What's funny is even his own party is starting to turn on him. Outside of the true hardcore, they are starting to trash Obama behind his back. Senator Webb from VA, a Democrat is starting to change his tune real quick after seeing the losses starting to mount. Clinton's first press secretary trashed Obama 2 days before his State of the Union address and tossed out exactly what he needed to do during the address to get his plans back on track. He did just 1 of her idea's. What she said was, stop blaming Bush and start taking responsibility, come right out and tell the people you get it. Tell them you understand they are against the proposed health reform and the way at which your party was going about doing it. She also said he needed to show some spunk, that was the only thing he did but he did it in the wrong way. He showed the spunk thru verbal assaults and nasty retorts that showed him in a bad light. A former Arkansas Democratic Senator who recently retired trashed him for, in his own words, his socialist ways. The guy said he was ashamed to tell people he was a Democrat, he visited the WH for a group talk with Obama and left in total disgust. They were dressed down and informed that they would vote along party lines no matter what the lobbyists or their constituents wanted them to do.

Wait till they lose Obama's home state seat that he resigned from to become POTUS.

Great news source. And, in some cases, perhaps, much closer to the truth than anyone might realize.:thumbsup:

I can't believe I actually sat and read the entire post...
This is getting a bit old. My post was approx 40 lines long. Your response (including your "afterthought") was approx 38 lines long. I'd say you are just as "Windy" as I am! :lol2:

And neither of us comes close to the novels written by Roadhog lately. :clap:

No, I didn't listen to it, Windwalker. When Bill O'Reilly said, "That's all folks. The President is next..." I flipped over to Radio Classics to see what they were playing. I think I'd rather listen to water drip from a faucet.
I did see the "highlights" of his speech. You could tell which side everyone was on. The left clapped, and the right looked at their watches, looked at each other, etc. :rofl:
I noticed some military men sitting in front. They seemed like they had more importanter things on their minds.
I'm pretty sure there was some hot air being blown, but the balloon never got off the ground.

Then there was my wife and I did during the State of the Union Speech. Basically we screwed each others brains out. We figured if Obama was going to screw the nation on TV might as well do it right. We agreed everytime he said I to change positions. We were worn out after the first 20 mins of the speech.

Watching the hurricane footage used for this report gave me a great idea! Next hurricane season, the second storm should be named Hurricane BUSH! :lol: Or the fourth one just simply called "DUBYA." :rofl::rofl:

But, fair is fair. IF we get 15 of them in one year..... they can name one after Obama! :lol2:

No, I did not hear it directly.
Which brings into question any comment you make.

I did hear comments about it on the news, though.
On the REAL news? Or on FauxNews?

It seems he appealed to both side of the aisle to work together to pass the healthcare bill.
That he DID. Some will say "only because he 'got the message' about the MA election." The truth is somewhat closer to the fact that the current system is the HIGHEST factor in the increase in the national debt.

"We need to pass this no matter how the public feels about it because we're smarter than they are."
In the future, could you please refrain from putting quotation marks around statements that YOU make up? SOME here, unfortunately, may not realize that it is not a true quotation. Just like some here have bought into the idea that he is arrogant because that is what they are being TOLD to believe.

So much for "Government of the people, by the people, and for the people.
I don't know.... he was elected by the largest margin in some time! IIRC, even a larger majority than Gore got when the people's choice was given to "the other guy."

But, there's no doubt.... based on the recent partisan ruling by the SAME SCOTUS that delivered the election to Dubya... that the PEOPLE have less and less to say about the election everytime it comes around.

With TWO major decisions by the Conservative laden Supreme Court in favor of the minority party, we are definitely getting closer to .... "Government of the people, BY court decree, FOR the party that they suck up to!" :eek2:

ONE more such "decision" by the SCOTUS would make a trifecta for the Richer class! I wonder if it might be some decision in an "impeachment" case based on trumped up charges by the "Birther" movement?

You know.... 3 strikes and you're OUT? If THAT happens, I will lose what little respect I have left for our Constitutional form of government.
