Barack “I’ve got a gift, Harry” Obama must have returned his gift for a refund.

Mrs. tractorman and I watched the whole speech.
It was his worst performance ever; who writes that crap?
Mrs. t even quipped that he looked like a black Alfred E. Newman.

When you lose Reich, it is downhill from here on in.

It's a shame that Barry's role models read him books that they liked

Instead of books that would have prepared their Manchurian Candidate for this moment.

Hey Barry.
How's it feel to be thrown under the bus.

Liberals like Reich aren’t dissatisfied with Obama because his policies are wrong, they’re unhappy with him because he hasn’t gone far-left radical enough to satisfy them.

Or is it something deeper? Whether it's Wall Street or health insurers or oil companies, we are approaching a turning point. The top executives of powerful corporations are pursuing profits in ways that menace the nation. We have not seen the likes not since the late nineteenth century when the "robber barons" of finance, oil, and the giant trusts ran roughshod over America.
Egad, I thought that was happening because of GWB?
Obama is Jimmy Carter and GWB?

When you lose Reich, it is downhill from here on in.These are dark days for the man calling himself "Barack Obama" - but they are even darker days for the men behind the curtain.
Marxists and other "scientific socialists" believe that the course of events are dictated by "the Iron Laws of History".
Communists know that these "laws" need a little help from time to time.
Barry had better watch his back. Just think of all the mileage communists got out of blaming the JFK murder on "right-wing hate".
When Barry is no longer of use to the forces that created him, he will be gone - as they love to say, "by any means necessary".

Robert Reich doesn’t care if we don’t have any oil, and therefore gasoline, and therefore automobiles ... because he can’t reach the pedals anyhow.

He blamed his regulatory agency for letting the oil companies take the lead in the past but, in the present, he is also letting the oil companies take the lead. I'm not saying he shouldn't do that (due to expertise), but it's a two-faced way of doing business.
BTW - with Obama its blame...blame...blame...blame... others. Maybe he should change his name to "O'Blamer".

( I AM THE TEA PARTY LEADER !)
To: tractorman
I didn't watch it but I read it. The first paragraph floored me. A speech about the gulf and he opens by saying his top priority is the recession. Unreal.
Hell, I could have written a better speech. I was amazed by how badly it was written. This is not a time for politics and policy. Totally inappropriate.
As a contrast, I watched Reagan's Challenger disaster speech. You want to see how a great leader handles a disaster when speaking to America, watch that speech. Not a perfect analog, but still an amazing contrast.
