they support his policy towards Syria.

I'll bet that not one out of fifty could even elucidate his policy.

The author pulled out his dusty Speech Writing Manual For Dummies and compared its list of must-have components to the text of Obungo’s speech. Voila (or, as my UC Berkeley educated boss used to say ‘Wolla!’), it did match!

The only people who bother to listen to Barry’s speeches are the drooling sycophants who would applaud him even if he were killing puppies on live TV. Even with that audience he could only convince 61% of them to support his Syria position.

“I don’t want war but maybe we should. Then again maybe we won’t have to.

Thank you and good night.”

Who could disagree with that position?

liberal media still trying to put lipstick and glitter on the WH pig and the shameless are still ruling over the honorable. That won’t last.

Why does CNN even bother to publish this Democratic Party BS?The Democrats are the most sophisticated liars on the planet. They learned from the Clintons that it works.

What utter B.S. I guess being a Bill Clinton speechwriter and John Podesta “principal” explains where this guy is coming from. No bias here!

I challenge anyone who agrees with 0bungle’s policy on Syria to explain just what his policy is.

Sixty-one percent of Americans polled, who watched President Obama's prime-time speech, told CNN that they support his policy towards Syria.

which is what, exactly?..........

The only people that watched it were Obama’s sycophants.

Nearly 100% of people that drive a car have driver’s licenses. So, do I presume that everyone has a driver’s license?

Talking Points straight from the White Hut and the DNC.

The Messiah has mystical powers, in their minds, while their viewership remains brain-dead and voting Straight (D).

Too bad there is no State-Run-Media Network willing to report NEWS, instead of Talking Points and Shuck 'n Jive......

Since I estimate approximately 273 brain-dead people watched his speech, the article seems plausible.

I watched the speech on youtube afterwards, as I had a previous engagement brushing my dogs, during his speech. I have priorities, ya know. It struck me that in 15-20 minutes, he said bsically, “We are not doing anything different, we’ll just wait and see.” Just playing for time, he is.

For those who maintain ‘low information’ status, it likely sounded good. Problem is, it is based on the presumption that the government gassed its people, a wrong premise, I believe.

"Sixty-one percent of Americans polled, who watched President Obama's prime-time speech"

in other words; 5% of the population.
