My-T.

I think he wants some charismatic speech like in the campaign..but this is not what this is about..


I know right.

Dudes expect every speech to be the Gettysburg address or something

.

This is not that kind of speech. Is this your first time watching a President address congress? This is business b.

I want Obama to throw the mic on the ground when he's done.

Alright, now we get to the part of the speech where half the room applauds while the other half simmers...

I loved it during the Bush years, I'm glad it hasn't gone anywhere now...

Why the hell is Biden so giddy?

 

[wanksta23]

ahaahahahah I was just thinking that ...

pick it up and then just drop it and walk off

I think that's very important to reward Teachers for their successes *me being one*..however..will teachers realize this and try to curve thegrades/scores in order to reach that success? How will they hold teachers accountable for their "curves" if it does happen..

 

[urbenyouth]

I hope the potential high school dropouts are watching.

And this will not happen ever, because of the oil companies and their need to self-preservation...

Renewable energy is not free because you still have to harness and transport that energy. ie building and maintaining wind turbines.

 

[bigmike23]

i love how he threw the sever your country part in there

 

[daytona 5000]

i can dig what he said about dropouts

 

[dlo13]

I swear I just heard 90% of my people in the South bust out laughing when Obama mentioned a year of higher education...

As someone who this doesnt directly effect, I find this a pretty big question; dealing with this type of thing indirectly with job qualifications as an HRprofessional...

i wasn't reffering to his oratory, but the substance. he isn't saying anything new. they are the same talking points from his campaign.usually to hold a joint session of congress you do so to say something big. usually a policy decision. facing this economic crisis i'm afraid obama has notoffered a clear vantage point of where he is going with the banking situation.

The fact that he is reiterating what he said during his campaign is important due to the fact that now he is saying it as President and with powerto make these things happen.

definitely got em with that "deficit we inherited" remark, this dude is not happy with republicans, i mean the guy seriously tried to be bipartisanwhen he came in but he learned his lesson

edit - obama was like "oh +%!#, i better say 250k and not somethin different"

 

[callhimar]

I hope he makes a statement about dialogue with Iran so he can retract the statement tomorrow after the AIPAC sends their hounds out with calls and e-mails.

 

[dlo13]

Biden looks smug as hell back there...

 

[jello b afro]

Honestly, this speech is uninspired and lacking any concrete solutions. More like throwing out ideas hoping that something sticks.
