How the sheeple can listen to BO spout diametrically opposite philosophies and swallow it all without question shows how far America has been dumbed down. BO is not a fan of big government? - he really means he is fan of total government.

I really hate how they equate hot air blowing from either orifice to be equally good.

First, irresponsible spending/credit use is what got us into this mess, but we have to make the consumer confident so they will continue this irresponsible behavior to prop up our economy.

Second, We have lent money to people who irresponsibly borrowed more than they could afford, but to stop the housing crisis, we need to help them temporarily afford those mortgages to keep the housing market from declining further.

Third, We have to cut the deficit because it is unsustainable, but first we have to make it twice the size it already is to put people back to work with jobs that will disappear as soon as the work is finished.

Does anyone elses head hurt?

I skimmed this. Did I miss the part where EVERY Republican said: “Before I continue behaving as if this man is POTUS, I want to see his birth certificate and his college applications and other records?”

When is someone going to talk about the current Fiscal Year Omnibus Appropriations Bill coming out of the house with 9000 Earmarks totaling $5 Billion.

What is wrong with these people!!!!

Can’t they see through this crap? As always it is going to take WE THE PEOPLE!!! to stand up to this sh*t.

The republicans should have walked out of there.

Like Obama suits, his speech was full of empty optimism. Calling for "fiscal restrait". What a JOKE. As usual, praise and Obama worship from media covers up for Obama's LACK of substance.

Makes me wanna PUKE!

In another potent reaction to the speech, Rep. Trent Franks (R-Az.) said, “Essentially he had us all bouncing our heads off of both sides of the canyon walls of philosophical reality when he went from on the one hand saying that we need to privatize personal Social Security accounts for everyone, which is essentially what George Bush said, and then on the other hand we need to nationalize the banks. For him to suggest that he wants to cut the deficit in half in four years when he’ll have tripled it in two months I find that a little bit of a roller coaster ride philosophically. And, of course, what I didn’t hear was how he plans to continue to protect this nation, as George Bush did, from the threat of jihadist terrorism.”

Can we have Trent for President?

No, just my stomach from all that retching up bile.

We can only 'hope' that the Republicans serving in Congress will ban together and continue the good fight.

Conservative Republicans must win enough seats in 2010 to outnumber Democrat seats in Congress in order to put the brakes on and reverse the downward spiral of Socialism/Marxism.
