Ok....don't usually get on Political blogs don't like to get in the middle of a pis**ing match as these very well turn out to be. Let's leave President Obama alone for a while and see what he can or can't do. The man has only been in office for a month and we are all expecting miracles. Rome wasn't built in a day to coin a rather corny phrase but in this case....CHILL...it is going to take time to fix what is broken. He got handed a real can of worms from the previous administration and I truly believe it will get better...but not TOMORROW

Maybe many expect miracles because Obama has promised so much.......he has been on one big continuous camapign type tour since taking office. He flits around making promises to everyone on everything. Are they empty promises?
People have a high expectation of him because he has made numerous PROMISES. People are ready to see action from him......people are ready to see him work.......people are tired of empty campaign type speeches. The time has come for Obama to get to work and stop just being a talking head.

U.S.Citizens have yet to see his famous, much talked about, "CHANGE".

It's been 7 years and I'm still waiting.
What about the Democrats that voted for it too? Or are you conveniently forgetting them?

You remember Fact Check..they were the guys the Democrats raved about during the election. I wonder if the Demmies still think Fact Check is credible?
have you ever been investigated for un-american like activites? if you'd made statements like this in the bush presidency, you probably would've been arrested and brought to trial. you should be glad the liberals are running the country right now, because they're more forgiving than the previous administration. remember all those slugs that disagreed with bush, mc cain, palin? they were threatened to be publicly labeled un-american. you're not one of those two faced people, are you?

Man, this "Left-wing Obama loving" media is getting good as hell.
It took them 30 minutes to dissect Obama's speech.
Usually, the speech is provided to the media hours ahead of the actual address.

Pretty weak "fact" checking.

Thumbs down.

It took them about 8 years to realize that Bush said the same thing in every state of the union:
"We have become independent from Middle Eastern oil"

Speeches are usually sent to the press well in advance with a embargo on it till a certain time and date (usually the time the speech starts). So the press could have up to a day to examine and write about it before it actually was given and meet their deadlines.

The right to dissent without fear of persecution is the last true indicator of our freedom. In that vein, I call them like I see them.

Peace.
