Pollgasm: Joint Session Reaction
The numbers: 68% of viewers said they had a positive reaction, compared to 24% negative. And an astonishing 85% said the speech made them feel more optimistic about the direction the country is headed in (though granted, feeling more optimistic than before might be a low bar), and only 11% said it made them more negative.And 82% of speech-watchers say they support Obama's economic plans as outlined in the speech, with only 17% against.
The positive reaction numbers, as CNN warns, are fairly typical of initial joint session speeches.
But the economic numbers? 82 percent? That's a crapload of radical communists.

CNN poll, useless.
Maybe only commie libs watched the speech. I know I didn’t, so my thoughts wouldn’t show up in the poll even if they had asked me.

Hitler gave great speeches too..
I keep hoping there are sufficient numbers of liberty-minded Americans left, but these polls don’t look good. Can millions of people be that ignorant of history that they see Obama and the rise of socialism as a good thing? Apparently so.
It’s early yet. Most are still getting over the fact that they voted for the wrong man and are in denial.
They will awake soon, of course like the Nazi’s some will never awaken.
Sadly it reflects the American public at this point. Sad. The USA has changed to a socialist utopia. Soon the economy will resemble Cuba. If you have any real money now is the time to cash out and escape.
When You’re in a Hole, Quit Digging!
The economy will Not be repaired by stealing money from the very people who create the jobs.
Government efforts to “create jobs”, only results in enlarging the dependent class, while destroying industry and creativity, which are the very engines of a healthy, growing economy.
When the Congress blackmails the banks into making bad loans in the name of “affordable housing”, Congress is the problem, Not the banks!
Giving everybody an insurance card, is NOT providing healthcare! Instead, it drives price controls which guarantee a shortage of Doctors and “productive” research.
Guaranteeing slave wages for illegal immigrants, rather that providing the means to assimilate into American society is far more racist than pretending to “respect their culture”.
The energy needs of America will NOT be provided by ignoring Nuclear Power and telling fairy tales about the potential of wind and solar power.
The nations security is NOT guaranteed by emasculating our Armed Forces and promoting a policy of appeasement.
Disarming American citizens only emboldens violent criminals and makes NOBODY safer.
A culture that devalues life through abortion, euthanasia, and the restricted availability of real healthcare, will never be a culture that retains the moral authority to sustain a free democracy.
Erasing the First Amendment to the Constitution and denying free speech and oppressing religious freedom means America is lost.
In short Mr. President, there are no elements of your speech which can be implemented as advertised and achieve the promised results. Because you are well aware of these facts, the entire speech was a lie!
Well... maybe we have to learn the hard lesson. I still think if enough people (like, too many to put in prisons) resist the demands to fund the govt, it will have to mend its ways. You don’t have to man the barricades, just stop writing those checks.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Reductio ad Hitlerum
Godwin’s law!
I’d guess the markets will be unimpressed today, given what the futures look like at the moment.
Yes they can. Believe it. It has happenned before. It is here. The vast majority if Americans are socialist boobs.
Venturer: “Most are still getting over the fact that they voted for the wrong man and are in denial.”
If only there had been a “right” man in the election to start with...sigh.
Think about it. When would they have time to do this poll? The speech was only last night.
They’d have to poll the ones that went to the speech, maybe. Those would be Obamites.
No you are in denial. Too much faith in the current public.
I don’t watch RATS. Did he say anything of substance? I expected it to be all fluff, no substance.
screaminsunshine: “The vast majority if Americans are socialist boobs.”
Unfortunately, the rest of us will not be allowed to opt out of their plans for a socialist paradise.
Allowed? How can they stop us? Watch when reality comes up against the MSM Obamaganda after the speech. This ain’t no party.. Capitalists should cash in now and hold. Starve the monster. They will get it all if you continue to play in this broken down ponzi scheme. Every last dime.
