I wanted to see what the DU folks had to say about Obama's speech tonight. Apparently, threads are being locked and pulled. I did find one interesting thread that shows that even the DU members' confidence in Obama is wavering. I tried to edit for language somewhat.
Here are some exerpts:
"When it comes to Obama speeches anymore, I'm like Gary Larson's dog...Blah, blah, blah Ginger blah, blah, blah Ginger blah, blah, blah..."
"I was underwhelmed watching it on Olberman just now and agree with most of what Olberman and the commentators are saying, unfortunately."
"Un f...ing believable! I am so disgusted!...Sorry, but I'm not buying that crap!!!
"All this talk about the future is nice, but I beg, "where is the fierce urgency of now"? What about the current operational c....f... of cleanup efforts? What about the current unfolding disaster? Hello???"
Here is the link: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x8566025
This one's my favorite!
PJ, if you want to see what’s left (literally), be my guest.
I know.
Been “tombstoned” again...
I have 7 more to run through before November. ;0)
We miss you greatly dear President Bush.
Wow—thanks for the link! They really are down. One of them posted a Larson cartoon, and another said it was some levity to lighten up a bad day, week, year, century. The only really positive comments were sarcastic—a couple of them well done sarcasm, I must say. Again I say wow; there is only one word to describe Obama’s speech tonight: Fail!
Did he tell everyone to pray to god or God?
They can collectively cry me a river over there. These morons are responsible for electing this clown.
They figured out the political Rorschach test is not a bird or a butterfly but just a bot of ink.
They all will vote for him again, because none of them have the stomach to vote for anyone to the right of Hugo Chavez.
Yeah, and in about 48 hours they'll be back to praising this empty-suit of a president for the wonderful job he's doing.
But this is hope and change!
I have a libtard Obamabot cousin, who said the speech stank.
I watched Olberman’s response on RCP. I was amazed at his reaction. He was totally underwhelmed and thought that it was a good speech to someone who hadn’t been on the planet for 57 days. He and Chris Matthews both thought that there was no executive command of the situation. It’s worth watching. Go to Real Clear Politics.
It’s not just DU members that is mocking Obama. There is a celebrity gossip board that is primarily for gays, and in the past has been FANATICALLY pro-Obama. For what they are posting now, even six months ago the posters would be permanently banned:

Bah - they are just a bunch of racists.
We have an incompetent black man as President, DEAL WITH IT DUmmies!
Wow, those comments are really telling.
The guy you quote, Poboy, finishes off his rant with a quote from Bobby Jindal and a link to an article where Jindal shows he is taking command and not waiting for President Oil Spill.
In order to have “executive command,” first you require an executive; then he must have command.
From the Oil Drum, this is hilarious!

I don’t know what exactly the two gauges they placed on the top hat are measuring, but the readings have dropped to the point one of them is now indicating a negative pressure.

They were put there before the speech, to measure Obama’s approval ratings.
