I would not listen to most of it. What I noted.

He was very placid .. (I thought it might be induced,
but who knows) and again used a strange phrase ..

“as long as I am president” .. for the 2nd
time today (Ft. Bliss first).

Also noted how much Pres. Bush loves the
country and troops .. but NO direct credit
for the surge, of course.

Sorry I can’t fill in the blanks more .. ;)

I’ts like slowing down to see a bad accident

You got that right! What a weird speech...he could have pulled it off better than that..really. Any other President would have shown some emotion...Bo flatlined throughout this whole speech. Sounded like he was reading a list of ingrediants off a box of cereal. I think he knows he is done...but best is we know he is done.

IMO, after destroying the US as a super power, he aspires to be #4, (playing off his multi-racial, multi-cultural, multi-religious, and multi-citizenry backgrounds).

Narcissists are not capable of showing the emotion you would expect to see in such a speech. Even if he were inclined to do so I doubt he could have.

"AS long as I am President"

add that to the comment about the BC on his head spoken just out of the blue and I'd say that he's not sleeping well at night.

My 13 yr old high functioning autistic son just asked me, ‘How was President Obama’s speech?’ Kinda caught me off guard, I said about as nice as I could ‘It was ok, wasn’t the best speech I’ve ever seen.’ I’m not sure if I could have explained to him very nicely how much I can’t stand Obama. I have always taught my sons that we have the freedoms here in America to disagree with our President and government. Course it doesn’t make it easy when I get asked these questions and I’m trying really hard not to cuss like a sailor...

Any shrinks in the house?”

Calling a shrink, onyx! Got a husband handy?

SHRINK SAYS:

When he invokes that phrase, he is emphasizing that whatever the subject he is talking about he thinks it’s wonderful, so for as long as he is president, this wonderful policy will stay in place.

But,

I’m on maggief’s team. I think it’s code to the Muslim, world. He invokes that “as long as I’m president” whenever he talks about the Middle East.

I think he hates the work of being president, but loved the attention and the perks and everyone believing he was “the one.”

~~~

Correctamundo! And he’s incapable of GOVERNING.

Perhaps so but he truly had none in this speech....as one other poster said...our troops deserved far better than what we just heard.

“And he’s wearing too much make up. He looks like a demonic transvestite.”

Did he ride his girl’s bike into the Oval Office? Did he figure out yet how to get an open umbrella through the door?

Can't remember an oval office speech ever having a complete family photo gallery behind a President!

Who was the only person in every single photo?

Mr. I, I, I, me, I, my, I, me, mine, me, I, my, my, I.

I know, it's strange isn't it? Soon we will see buzzards flying around overhead!

I never learned what the big ‘tent’ cover up was at the White House awhile back, exterminators?

If so, they got rid of the wrong things, lol.
