The President promises to punish bad stock traders & financial companies ! -------------------------

In his first address to a joint session of Congress, President Obama told the American people that the "day of reckoning" has arrived for the nation's economy, which he pledged to not just fix but make stronger than it was before the current crisis.

"Now is the time to act boldly and wisely -- to not only revive this economy, but to build a new foundation for lasting prosperity," the president said in his televised prime-time address.

Obama was greeted with thunderous applause in the House chamber, as lawmakers reached out to try and get a handshake or, in some cases, a kiss as the president made his way down the narrow aisle to the podium.

Obama is enjoying a 68 percent approval rating after his first month in office, according to the latest ABC News-Washington Post poll, and his pledge to reverse the nation's economic woes earned him an early standing ovation from both Democrats and Republicans.

"While our economy may be weakened and our confidence shaken; though we are living through difficult and uncertain times, tonight I want every American to know this: We will rebuild, we will recover, and the United States of America will emerge stronger than before," Obama said.

Obama laid out proposals in energy, health care and education policy that he said would help everyday Americans struggling with rising costs and would be long-term investments toward economic recovery.

  • Your are all slaves to the Federal Reserve, politicians do NOT care about us, you will see more tanking of the economy in the near future.

    Obama does not care about competitive wage jobs, manufacturing base, sustainable growth, anti war groups, job loss, mortgage crises, NOTHING,

    He will do NOTHING. All these speeches insult our collective intelligence.

    They are BULLSHITTING us. You owe TRILLIONS thanks to Obama and Bush. Your leaders have FUCKING SOLD YOU OUT.

  • Nancy Pelosi only bounced up and down twice in 1:52. This was far off her average of springing to her feet every 14 seconds. She must have thought this part of the speech was "boring."

  • Why doesn't he use the "F" word as in FRAUD. Every one of the major banks was involved in massive FRAUD. The individuals that are the most responsible are known. They acted criminally. Why is there no justice for these vacuous, boring individuals?

  • That's funny. He gets "tough on Wall Street" and says the banks must pay back the loans he gave them. Meanwhile Joe Six-Pack is saying "Yeah, you tell 'em Obama. Make those banks pay!". Unfortunately Joe Six-Pack doesn't realize that HE is going to pay back the loans through higher interest rates, fees and ultimately, higher taxes. Yes we can? No, that was a typo. It's supposed to read "Yes, We Scam!"

  • go obama, you the best, fucking bankers

  • He is not tough on anyone

  • bullshit, we aint getting that money back. He is not tough on banks

  • he bailed them out and then scolds them for taking the free money

  • How are you going call out Wallstreet when you are the ones that bailed them out the first time! How is it funny that YOU let them pad their checks and buy themselves planes? You know you are just going to bail them out again so stop the trash talking.
