Obama Speech Whadda ya think?

You do remember that a lot of the debt that is out there today came from many areas some before Bush was elected. Katrina and 9-11 which no one had a choice about. The war on terror which BOTH parties backed until they discovered that the war would not be over in just a few weeks or months.

I am not saying that I liked Bush. I can not say that I like any of our political leaders today.

And yes we had debt but not like we are going to have. In a few years we will have a new pres and he will be saying that the debt was there before he got into office.

Yes it is a time for change! I hope that I can say that I was wrong about Obama in a few years but I think he is nuts!

I do not know anyone who thinks that the stimulus - Bail Out will work. They keep spending money that does not belong to them in ways that I think most americans do not like.

Sing it Greenriverman1 - Sing it LOUD! I'm with ya!

Watched it start to finish. The man is truly a charismatic and gifted orator, certainly as good as there's ever been in my lifetime. Sounded like a campaign speech to me. Very long on promises and very short on detail.

He and his party are using America's desperation to grow the government's control of our lives, and increase it's spending by 30%. An absolutely staggering increase in the federal government's power, and it's not going to be pretty when the bills come due. Mr. Obama is selling the idea that the top 2% of earners will pay for all of this, but the math just isn't there.

The continued stock market tumble speaks volumes to me. Those with the most money in the game don't believe in President Obama, or his merry band of clueless bill authors.

Trillions of dollars of spending HAS to be paid for eventually, and my fear is it'll be the normal working people like myself who get stuck with the tab.

One question to the liberals on here. I remember y'all scoffing when Mr. Bush sent us a check. Twice. Will we see the same derisive reaction this time, or is it the right thing to do now that it's coming from a Democrat president?
