The lies began even before President Barack Obama started speaking. Tonight’s weak address, with its paper-thin promises and falsehoods, was unworthy of the commitments he made in November 2008.

He must have had a REAL good line of coke before going on.
Perfect!I was listening to Mark Levin(as per usual)and he played some clips of “Drones”(Mathews,Piers Morgan,Wolfie,etceter, ad nauseum,and they(of course)were just drooling over”The One’s Speech” calling it “The Greatest”!!Of course,they ALL agreed that EVERYTHING”The One”said was ABSOLUTELY TRUE!!!These”people”make me want to vomit despite the fact that I enjoyed a VERY good dinner.I actually belive that these”Drones”would happily follow him over a cliff.I say,Just Get On With It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was one of the weakest speeches from an incumbent president seeking reelection that I have ever heard. At times, it seemed as if Obama sensed his own failure and the likely prospect of his defeat. He could cite no meaningful accomplishments, only more empty rhetoric.
I liked it when he misspoke and referred to himself as having held office for “eight years.”
Juan Williams said the emptychair gave hope and going vorwart/forward, everything is now hopeful. Well, at least he tried to grab something positive.
Glad we still have plenty of money to buy all that cotton candy for the slaves. He was hiring another 100K teachers for the unions.
Pray for America
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain! That man is an impostor!
Obama’s only real talent is speaking on big stages with a TelePrompTer. This is his high watermark in this election, and at best it was average. There was so little’ there’ there in the speech. mostly recycled. Nothing new.
I have two theories. One...he’s just.not that into this election. Two...he is such a narcissist he thinks the same speech he’s given in the past that failed to move the needle would succeed here simply because he’s Barack Obama. He and his team seem to politically savvy for it to be the second, so I am leaning towards the first. I believe they may know their screwed and unless something changes, will focus on keeping 51 senate seats just to keep a sea at the table and prevent legislatiion from getting to the Romney White House.
This was the setting where Obama can excell and he didn’t. It wasn’t a total flop, but left most any rational person wanting. It was far short of his 2004 or 2008 speeches, and was worse than his wifes speech this week, and far worse that Clinton.
No hope and no change.
He promised hope and change, and all we got was HYPE and BLAME.
HYPE and BLAME works.
‘2008-2012: Change I Can’t Relive’
All right ! HE has done his “great” speech according to the choir of the fans, groupies, fellow liberal and corrupted scums in the msm.....blablabla yadayada....
NOW the serious things must go on or begin . R and R camp must destroy the Obamao bubble full of nasty air and words
Keeping in mind that ObaMao worked for ACORN and participated in one of the first major lawsuits to force lenders to give money to people to buy homes that they could not afford, which started the financial snowball rolling down the mountain...
First, our VP Joe Biden – without the auto bailout they would have “liquidated” one million jobs.
ObaMao (barf alert):
These are some telling quotes (in sequence from his text):
"It will be a choice between two different paths for America."
"I ran for President because I saw that basic bargain slipping away. I began my career helping people in the shadow of a shuttered steel mill, at a time when too many good jobs were starting to move overseas. And by 2008, we had seen nearly a decade in which families struggled with costs that kept rising but paychecks that didn’t; racking up more and more debt just to make the mortgage or pay tuition; to put gas in the car or food on the table. And when the house of cards collapsed in the Great Recession, millions of innocent Americans lost their jobs, their homes, and their life savings – a tragedy from which we are still fighting to recover."
"And that’s because all they have to offer is the same prescription they’ve had for the last thirty years:
“Have a surplus? Try a tax cut.”
“Deficit too high? Try another.”
“Feel a cold coming on? Take two tax cuts, roll back some regulations, and call us in the morning!”
Now, I’ve cut taxes for those who need it – middle-class families and small businesses. But I don’t believe that another round of tax breaks for millionaires will bring good jobs to our shores, or pay down our deficit. I don’t believe that firing teachers or kicking students off financial aid will grow the economy, or help us compete with the scientists and engineers coming out of China. After all that we’ve been through, I don’t believe that rolling back regulations on Wall Street will help the small businesswoman expand, or the laid-off construction worker keep his home. We’ve been there, we’ve tried that, and we’re not going back. We’re moving forward. "
"we can give more tax breaks to corporations that ship jobs overseas, or we can start rewarding companies that open new plants and train new workers and create new jobs here, in the United States of America."
"We’ve opened millions of new acres for oil and gas exploration in the last three years, and we’ll open more. But unlike my opponent, I will not let oil companies write this country’s energy plan, or endanger our coastlines, or collect another $4 billion in corporate welfare from our taxpayers."
"Millions of students are paying less for college today because we finally took on a system that wasted billions of taxpayer dollars on banks and lenders..
And now you have a choice – we can gut education, or we can decide that in the United States of America, no child should have her dreams deferred because of a crowded classroom or a crumbling school. No family should have to set aside a college acceptance letter because they don’t have the money."
"We’ve blunted the Taliban’s momentum in Afghanistan, and in 2014, our longest war will be over. "
"I refuse to ask middle class families to give up their deductions for owning a home or raising their kids just to pay for another millionaire’s tax cut. I refuse to ask students to pay more for college."
"And I will never turn Medicare into a voucher. No American should ever have to spend their golden years at the mercy of insurance companies. They should retire with the care and dignity they have earned. Yes, we will reform and strengthen Medicare for the long haul, but we’ll do it by reducing the cost of health care – not by asking seniors to pay thousands of dollars more. And we will keep the promise of Social Security by taking the responsible steps to strengthen it – not by turning it over to Wall Street."
"Over and over, we have been told by our opponents that bigger tax cuts and fewer regulations are the only way; that since government can’t do everything, it should do almost nothing. If you can’t afford health insurance, hope that you don’t get sick. If a company releases toxic pollution into the air your children breathe, well, that’s just the price of progress. If you can’t afford to start a business or go to college, take my opponent’s advice and “borrow money from your parents."
"We insist on personal responsibility and we celebrate individual initiative. We’re not entitled to success. We have to earn it. We honor the strivers, the dreamers, the risk-takers who have always been the driving force behind our free enterprise system – the greatest engine of growth and prosperity the world has ever known.
But we also believe in something called citizenship – a word at the very heart of our founding, at the very essence of our democracy; the idea that this country only works when we accept certain obligations to one another, and to future generations. "
"We believe that when a family can no longer be tricked into signing a mortgage they can’t afford, that family is protected, but so is the value of other people’s homes, and so is the entire economy. "
"We know that churches and charities can often make more of a difference than a poverty program alone. We don’t want handouts for people who refuse to help themselves, and we don’t want bailouts for banks that break the rules. We don’t think government can solve all our problems. But we don’t think that government is the source of all our problems – any more than are welfare recipients, or corporations, or unions, or immigrants, or gays, or any other group we’re told to blame for our troubles."
"Washington politicians who want to decide who you can marry, or control health care choices that women should make for themselves. "
"I’m the President."
And the truth is, it will take more than a few years for us to solve challenges that have built up over decades. It'll require common effort, shared responsibility, and the kind of bold, persistent experimentation that Franklin Roosevelt pursued during the only crisis worse than this one.
You know, on that one he might be correct....FDR got out of the depression not because of any program but due to our involvement in WW2 and the hyper inflation of our currency. Maybe that is what O has on his radar. Now then, with whom will he provoke a war. Surely not some Mussey country or Iran. More likely some country trying to persuade us to accept their onerous oil, eh?
You said “rational people” ?
That’s precisely the problem of the granted, owned and hysterical crowds ignited by the ObaMao’s fans....among which the brainwashing msm and hollywoodian scums
Excellent point-by-point rebuttal of Obama's less than candid speech at the Dem Convention last night. Writer Joel Pollak, now working at Breitbart, was a Republican candidate for Congress in a suburban Chicago district vs. lefty Schakowsky in 2010.
