No substance? He just said, 'We may not always have a AAA rating, but we'll always be a AAA country!'.
If that's not substance, I don't know what is!

He has no solutions...nothing...he’s just covering his butt and that not well at all....just words and no substance.
Sounds like the typical Obama community organizer....he’s got nothing here...just as freeper said.

Unemployment insurance creates jobs.

“the worst week of his presidency” It's always about him. He's much worse than Clinton when it comes to narcissism.

How can he, or anyone who still supports him, and his speech writers, believe this speech will reassure anyone? He is saying nothing concrete.
