The master of the pretty speech even fails at that. No substance catches up eventually.

All I got from his empty speech is that he is going to put together a plan to have Congress put together a plan. Again...he, as our president, has no plan to resolve the problems we face.

Yep. He’s giving the same speech he’s been giving, except for throwing around blame on “political elements” in Washington and gridlock.

There must me many valid legal issues to remove him. He is doubling down with destructive agenda. 2012 might not be soon enough.

If that’s the end of the 11K bounce, it was scarily short.

Payroll tax, unemployment benefits, AND the obligatory government works programs: “Roads, bridges airports”.
“No reason we shouldn’t act on the, NOW!” says he.
His platitudes re the troops are disgusting in light of the “historic” cuts in defense spending he favors. He equate “their legacy” with HIS plans for the country.
