Well, I didn't watch the speech, I know some of you are excited 'BOUT IT

[DainBramaged]

But what I wrote the other morning still stands. It's going to take more than theatrics and speeches for me to believe in the system again. And I would rather yack about cars with my friends than yack about politics right now, in spite of the witless wiretappers (boy, those four clowns are going to provide lots of laughs for months to come.

So if you have a grain of salt, eat it, because tomorrow reality MAY BE DIFFERENT THAN WHAT YOU'VE HEARD TONIGHT.


Be well my friends.

1. Those who refuse to do somethig simple like watch the thing they are talking about...

Should not feel the need to grace us with their opinion.

[Johonny]

2. He's not done talking yet

Hang on a few to be cynical

[cliffordu]

3. It's like saying you didn't vote but you are dissatisfied with Congress.

[Codeine]

4. who cares what you think?

You didn't watch it, so it doesn't matter.

16. Let's try this one more time

the ENTIRE reason I grow weary of politics is because of how people like yourself are trying to hijack the movement and exclude those who don't agree with your outlook. I think trying to suppress my freedom of speech is disgusting.

5. Giving speeches is what he does best. The people lap it up

Reagan certainly had the same gift. I expected far better action from Obama than I ever did from Reagan, but so far he's just "not as bad."

[timeforpeace]

6. Seems like more of a campaign speech so it's good.

7. A wise Vermont senator once said,

"Despair is not an option."

[Pryderi]

8. Don't blame Obama for Democrats spinelessness. He doesn't run the Senate.

[AlinPA]

23. Agree.

[Pryderi]

9. K&U

[Marr]

10. Get ready to be insulted then. Some people *really* get pumped by cheerleading.

For myself, I'll wait to see what actually *happens* before I get all hot and bothered.

[Subdivisions]

12. I really, REALLY, hate to say it but it was all just more fluff. n/t

[apocalypsehow]

13. Didn't watch, but still implicitly critical of it. Now, THAT'S critical thinking, alrighty....

:eyes:

[blondeatlast]

15. +1. You said it much better than I could. nt

[DainBramaged]

17. So my opinion is not as worthy as yours?

The Democrats, stil as exclusive as the Pukes.

[apocalypsehow]

18. No more than if you said "I didn't read this book, but I'm still going to opine about it."

Nope: if you give your "opinion" about something I've read/watched/seen that you proudly acknowledge you haven't, then your opinion about is not near worth what mine is. That's how it works in the grown-up world. You ought to look into it.

[DainBramaged]

22. I look into big red x's for people who think they are purer than the rest of us

buh bye. Go bother someone else. Life is to short to be lectured by you about political correctness on DU.

[apocalypsehow]

26. Ohhh, lookee there: he snatches up his marbles, and goes home. How quaint.

14. So, you didn't watch the speech. Well, that's worthy of a

thread, no doubt. In fact, I'm alerting the media this morning. Stay close to your phone. I have no doubt that many people will be calling you to discuss your non-viewing.

[upi402]

19. I never bothered with Clitnot either

corporatists just discourage me

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

20. Well I've never read Catcher in the Rye...

so it seems pretty silly to me for you people to be going on about Howard Zinn this and Howard Zinn that.

[Last Stand]

24. Watch Obama's feet, not his mouth.

If they continue to go in opposite directions, I won't be surprised.

[mdmc]

25. You missed a good little theater

Obama rocked to speech - he made lemonade with lemons..
