@lilcalm He's more an idiot than even Carter was!!!! That is so epically sad for us all.

@merlesmith AMEN!!! WHO elected this inexperienced fop???

[merlesmith]

@nytquil1 the problem with the stimulus is they still have most of it! the gov. programs and money that has been wasted is sickening! Green jobs? Lift the ban on drilling and invest in the business and job market to get us working! If we would stop throwing away money by giving it to the PA that would free up millions! I dont understand why we give money to people that want us dead!

@merlesmith I didnt think much of his speech either. And yea he borrowed money but as an economist we needed that stimulus package or our economy would've went to hell. We need short term stimulus but once job numbers are down we need grow our economy, cut govt programs BIG TIME to stop deficit spending.

@nopwib5 I can't quite tell what is lying here. If you could explain, please do so. I personally believe that this episode simply represents Obama not having notes or adequately preparing. Not all nervous or unprepared people are liars, and some people who are completely composed are lying.

@lilcalm He sucks obviously... My dog speaks better than he does... He stutters .. stumbles ... is not clear speaking..is not smooth speaking ..IN OTHER WORDS LYING Havent you noticed a difference when a truthful person speaks and a dishonest person speaks? Obama sounds like his words are forced ...like he has to think about what hes going to say before he says it... even a lisp ..meaning stutter ..he is a terrible speaker because everything he is saying is a lie...

[lilcalm]

what doyou guys think about his "public speaking"? is it ok ? or does he need to get better? HELP PLEASE !! doin a report on this!

[merlesmith]

@nytquil1 we borrowed money for the bailouts and I cant stand that either! I don't believe in politics and loathe politicians! Doesn't take away from what I said at all!

What you are hearing in this video is the political -- your talking about! Tell him to stop borrowing money!

[nytquil1]

@merlesmith "We have a military being defeated by the country it serves" unless you cite specific examples that sounds like the political bullshit politicians feed people. Here is an idea, how about we stop borrowing money from China to wage stupid wars. That way our troops dont get caught up in the political bullshit.

I feel sorry for those in the U.S. Military who have him as their commander. They have to sit through his bs and worry that he will support them when they know that he hasn't and only has his own best interests in mind. This was just another photo op for him. Bet they hate being used, too.

I love you guys. This will be over when we win the war at home. We are fighting for you, as you fight for us.
