"Obama is still suffering from the Speech Illusion, the idea that he can come down from the mountain, read from a Teleprompter, cast a magic spell with his words and climb back up the mountain, while we scurry around and do what he proclaimed.
The days of spinning illusions in a Greek temple in a football stadium are done. The One is dancing on the edge of one term.
The White House team is flailing — reacting, regrouping, retrenching. It’s repugnant." --Maureen Dowd, New York Times, 9/4/11
I agree...ANY president needs to be a good actor and Obama is a good one but also a great man despite black he is the most powerful man on earth now.....now Bush was DEFINETELY more a clown or stand up comedian than actor and cant say that he was a great man,,he makes me sick
I am 19, i voted for the first time today..and i must say this is the greatest speech i have ever heard! idk if u realize this but 50 yrs from now our kids will be reading his speech and discussing it in class, just like we talk about martin luther king and his i have a dream speech
Obama recently compared the stock market plunge to fluctuations in political polls ignoring the fact that Real People are losing Real $ when the market slides. Obama thinks American people don't care about the pork projects in the stimulus bill.
President Obama don't seem to grasp facts, since Democrats took control in WA, the stock market has lost over 20% of its value. Over 50 million Americans have lost huge amounts of their life savings.
@marknyc718 - What about your Messiah now ehh? Kids will be reading about him 50 years from now, not for his imagined greatness, but for his absolute failure and collapse of the United States!
I'm still glad it wasn't John Mccain :D. Obama 2012! Okay, i'm not from The USA, but i remember the Reagan years, The Clinton years and The Bush years. And now the Obama years. I like the Clinton and the Obama years more... But that's just me...
@marknyc718 we're reading it already. This speech is considered one of the greatest of our time. You can say a lot about Obama but he sure knows his rethoric.
Yes, America has changed. The anti-obama folks have become more rabid.

Obama is the worst president ever. He's just a corny rabble rouser. Look at all the gullible idiots in the crowd.
