And the thing is, he probably gave himself an ‘A’ and was congratulated by his staff for a riveting speech. Guy is waaaaay out of his league.

He's blind. Even Olbermann and Chris Tingle pointed out how lame this speech was.

Based on the parts I have seen today it seems as if bo was trying to emulate Bush post 9/11—even appearing to write the speech thinking ‘what would Bush say’.

The problem is Bush acted like the man he is while the boy-child can only dream.

One evening a few weeks ago I sat down to pray specifically for Obama. I opened my Bible to see what would be said to me and the first verse was Jeremiah 12:14

“Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear them in the time that they cry unto me for their trouble.”

I continued as always to pray for my family and country, for guidance and patients but have ever since stopped praying for Obama.

T. Boone Pickens said on Larry King Live last night, if anyone knew how to stop this thing, they’d be in there doing it.

Okay, so I guess once every 100 yrs. or so I will have to agree with T. Boone on something.

‘Best we can do is keep it off the beaches’

And because Obama said NO to every attempt to keep it off the beaches, it’s ON the beaches.

I disagree with you because you cannot substantiate your view.

OK Lets discuss this for a brief moment. Show me ONE thing he has done as pResident that has NOT caused damage to these United States? I bet you can't come up with even one. Even his speeches are damaging to our standing in the world. If he had intentionally set out to destroy this country he could not be doing a better job of it. No one can be this hazardous to our health accidently.

Even biden couldn't cause this much damage so quickly. Carter had 4 full years and he didn't even casue such damage.

Prayers for Obama will not stop the leak.

The leak is so minor as to be trivial. The real damage is being done in the White House. Oil can be cleaned up. Eventually BP will get the leak stopped. But freedom once lost is not so easily regained.

I'd much rather see obama stopped than the leak stopped.

Pray for obama. Psalm 109:8-9

Read Psalm 109. Specifically vs. 8 and 9. A prayer of Psalm 109:8-9 for obama is a prayer for the health and safety of our country.

“He looked like a smarmy little communist agitator with no idea what to do.

I was channel surfing when I came across his speech. At that point, he was babbling about green jobs and our need to sacrifice. No surprises there...”

I would've expected him to start doing a Charles Manson rap:

“A reeba zib, zip zapp zazza. A beep boomp rizza rizzle.”

I guessing the teleprompter folk won't allow him to carve any symbols into his forehead.

I watched about 20 seconds until I switched back to ancient aliens on the history channel..

And a repeat of ancient aliens at that!

I was afraid if I watched the "one", I'd shoot my TV.

Did you happen to see Top Shot on the History Channel? A reality show about firearms and weapons, my kind of thing!

“Didn’t the founding fathers build anything into the Constitution that would allow someone to step in and take charge of a situation if a sitting president is doing something that is a real threat to the country? I mean other than impeachment. I mean like in an emergency.”

Yep, We the People are in charge if the government becomes too corrupt and violate the Constitution we are allowed to take it back.

Strange coincidence:

Obama means failure in Swahili.

Here in our house we are doubled whammied, hubby is retired Military, and on Tricare for Life, which had the same 21% cut to doctors.

Just heard on our local news in Memphis our power bills were going up due to increased demand.

The $50 billion bill in the senate that was just voted down contained the Medicare “Doc fix” along with $23 billion more to bail out the states. I suspect that some version will pass to fix Medicare for now.

I have a feeling everyone around him is too afraid to critique him. He’s their messiah, you know.

I noticed yesterday speaking to the Navy he said “We will not falter”...then hesitated. I think he realized Bush had said this after 911.

I missed both speeches. Grand-kids are here, but even if they were not, I don't know if I had the stomach for it.

He actually said “we will not falter?” After all of the justifiable outrage from the survivors, he continues to draw a comparison to 9/11. My God, are we the only ones who realize what that says about his personality?
