WASHINGTON – Standing before a nation on an economic precipice, President Barack Obama told worried Americans Tuesday night the U.S. has reached a dire "day of reckoning" that will require boldness and long-term vision to create lasting revival and prosperity. "The time to take charge of our future is here," Obama said, delivering his first address to a joint session of Congress just five weeks into his presidency. Along with his warnings, he had reassuring words.
"Tonight I want every American to know this: We will rebuild, we will recover, and the United States of America will emerge stronger than before."
Blending the details of governing in with his rhetoric, he said each of the political parties must sacrifice on favored programs while uniting behind agreed goals including better schools, expanded health care coverage and "greener" fuel use.

Being that a tapeworm is not a bad aspiration for Leftist parasites, that’s ‘looking up’ for her.
One name that rises to the top ,
No.. make that two names.. that boil my blood..
Schumer and Dodd.
Samuel Adams would have spat on both of them.. for starters.
These stories were probably written months ago.
Day of reckoning? What horribly bad speech writer is shoveling this garbage...Yes, it’s been rough but come on...i just shudder to think how the left will have a massive, well, they’ll be excited, let’s just say it that way, over this ridiculous speech to “spend our way out of this”....
Just like in Sweeney Todd...sell people on the elixir until someone uncovers that the elixir is pee and then the crowd will turn as no one likes to be pee’d upon...
They (the media) get a copy of the speech ahead of the time it is delivered.
You will also here him say; "I inherited this economy...."
Dissolve Congress and the problem would solve itself.
He’s absolutely nothing without those stupid teleprompters.
Heck, I’d be able to give a better speech than him without the use of teleprompters.
I hope you got your ‘shovel ready’ . :-]
It’s gonna get pretty thick in here shortly
Does that ‘ching-a-ling’(chandelier) have good beam support? I guess I’m just dreamin’. Nevermind. ;)
Does that ‘ching-a-ling’(chandelier) have good beam support?
Monty Python fans want to know. ;-)
Day of reckoning, beginning of the end, catastrophe, abyss, crisis, disaster , Armaggedon...
The Grim Reaper actually seems upbeat compared to the Dim Reaper .
And the Grim Reaper only shows up now and again-
the Dim Reaper is on every media outlet 24 /7 vomiting up his dire warnings.
Buy stock in Prozac.
And distilled spirits.
And turn off the tv.
What is that thing on his head?
Notice his empty promises tend to have a date into the NEXT term of his ‘presidency’. When we try to remove him in 2012 he’ll be yellin’ that all his hard work is about to shower us with skittles in 2013, ONE YEAR into the next presidential term. But he’ll claim we won’t get any skittles if we don’t re-elect him.
Utterly barren and Devoid of facts, figures, details, while circling the “crisis” at 50,000 ft and dropping money on the Democratic states who have given an ample preview of how to go broke following the liberal agenda.
47 more months of failed policies ?
a jauntily perched black tarboush?!!!
That happened in November.
shut up obama it’s your doing don’t act like it isn’t
I guess if we have the funds to invest in “better schools, expanded health care coverage and “greener” fuel use.” the situation is not so bad.
