If you watched (or read) The President's Oval Office speech to the nation, please let us know if you feel better.
Because our sense is that this went over like a ton of bricks, at least based on our reading of it and the flash reactions we've seen on Twitter.
Some of the details up top are fine: It's great that a ton of folks going to be deployed in the cleanup, and strongarming BP to set up a cleanup fund is probably a good move.
But the second half of the speech killed the strong opening, because it turned into just another pie-in-the-sky post-oil speech:

The man’s a jiveass shakedown con man.
And so are those who support him.
Definitely not one of Obama’s better speeches.
The man does liberal vision well, but when it comes to addressing actual problems he tends to fail pretty spectacularly.
Well, the speech came from the mouth of a disaster.
Remember folks - The one thing Obama is good at running is his mouth.
What an Obamofo.
No lie, as I listened to this I had this weird feeling and I finally figured it out—I was experiencing the same feeling I got when, as a little kid, I saw Jimmy Carter on TV. He just didn`t seem like a president to me. I listened to tonight`s little chat on radio and what came across was Obama`s weakness. He sounded like he wanted to just start yelling to disguise his cluelessness. He has such a limited intellectual capacity and a complete lack of imagination. All he was required to do was let Jindahl [sp?] build and foreign help in. He can`t even manage that low level of activity [no doubt to push his disaster-based cap and trade policy]. A weak man with a Totalitarian mindset.
I understand what you’re saying there, but let’s be careful not to lose the sting of an even more apt application of that phrase.
Obammie the Commie promised to get us out of Iraq and Afghanistan. He didn’t. He lied. An people are dying there at a much faster pace then under Bush’s watch.
Obama lied. People died.
Not gonna let the (former)BO lovers in my family forget what they've helped do to this country.
Plug the hole!
I too suffer with naive relatives. I’d say it was sweet justice that they are proven wrong, but it makes my predictions true. A Statist with the mentality of a 12 year old is running the country (or not).
Hussein is a disaster. His puppet masters are a disaster. Where they are taking us is a disaster. And they know it and smile.
Are you serious? msnbc?
One of the comments cracked me up...
