We Americans have become a generation of , unwilling to say where we stand while every other country runs around boasting about how great they are. He finally said it like it is (i.e. no options off the table for dealing with Iran). I didn't like the stuff at the end about bin Laden and being united. That was the some of the weakest speech-writing he's ever had. Overall, he hurts himself by being such a charismatic speaker because he builds such hope and high expectations and then we feel disappointed when he doesn't reach them. These next few months will be critical. People have this feeling that he is not getting things done and don't want it to continue for 4 more years. Obama shouldn't rely on the Republican candidate being undesirable (which they are). It's like teams sitting on a lead. He needs to be more active than ever from now until next fall. The problem is, of course, people are fickle sheep with little grasp of the reality of politics and they fail to take responsibility for things. I respect and understand the people who supported Obama in 2008 and still do. Then there are the snakes who didn't say anything in '08 and just sat in the shadows waiting him for him to slip up so they could push their anti-democrat or anti-african american or anti-america or anti-politics agenda. Then there are fairweather fans who have turned on him ... Learn what the system is before you try to comment on it or change it.

No, but he had the chance to try some of the things he wanted to do earlier on his term when he had a majority democratic house and senate... Did not accomplish much.

Did you expect him to fulfill all of his promises in a year and a half? He actually did get a lot done in that small time-span. I'm pretty sure you can find on google what legislation's, and policies he put in place.

Every president since the invention of the teleprompter (Starting with Eisenhower, except for Nixon) have used a teleprompter for a majority of their speeches. It's called being smart. To think that a president or most politicians should just wing it is absurd. No matter how big or small the speech is LIBERALS UNITE! Last Edited By: Essential1 01/24/12 11:44 PM. Edited 1 time.

And it seems like you're just repeating what his campaign has been saying. He has done things -- but you know damn well you don't know a single one and don't follow any of it. There are some core philosophical issues to discuss and no one knows the best decision, but the reasons most of you support him can fit on a bumper sticker. Be honest with yourself.

Stop pointing your finger or trying to hold someone else accountable for actions you didn't act upon. All these negative connotations and selfish ways of thinking is why global improvements have not taken place. Money holds precedence over every thought and emotion in this world and, that is quite astonishing. People are living within society not with the hopes of even leaving a legacy or being remembered by the coming generations. This scenario to me is like someone promising you success if your under their tutelage of study. Well, they promise you success however, YOU have to take it upon yourself to work, study your craft, and implement those tools in your life and you will become successful. Stop waiting for a handout and expecting one individual to work miracles without inputing your own ideas. These cycles have taken place since ever since the hunter/gathering done by the earliest human species became obsolete and crop raising took over and built an economical structure which built cultures. Stop feeling entitled just because you're a breathing being, if you don't do your part, you have become worthless and are actually a detriment to society. We all are a cohesive group. If people don't believe that, than, tell those people who manufacture your clothes, process your food, provide you internet, operate the electrical plant in your city to stop working right now.
