14. They weren't expecting this, for sure. Their commentary will be over-the-top (more so than usual).
Pres. Obama's approval ratings have been rising for weeks. This decision should make his numbers go even higher.

He is now describing his own perspective, drawing from his and Michelle's family history to explain his vision of what America should be.

Is any Democrat stupid enough to run against him in 2012? I think not.

28. Pres. Obama explains the function of government by quoting Republican Abe Lincoln.
Edited on Wed Sep-08-10 01:28 PM by ClarkUSA
He explains the billions in tax loopholes businesses who move overseas have exploited in the past.

"Republicans have fought to keep these loopholes open. In his speech, he attacked us for closing a few of these loopholes."

Ouch, that hurt!

33. True. That was effective. He said they were serious at a serious time - as opposed to
Edited on Wed Sep-08-10 02:53 PM by Pirate Smile
the current Republican jokers who are NOT serious at a serious time.

I found it in the transcript - I love the part about what Democrats are proud of:

These values aren't Democratic or Republican. They aren't conservative or liberal values. They're American values. As Democrats, we take pride in what our party has accomplished over the last century: Social Security and the minimum wage; the GI Bill and Medicare; Civil Rights and worker's rights and women's rights. But we also recognize that throughout history, there has been a noble Republican vision as well, of what this country can be. It was the vision of Abraham Lincoln, who set up the first land grant colleges and launched the transcontinental railroad; the vision of Teddy Roosevelt, who used the power of government to break up monopolies; the vision of Dwight Eisenhower, who helped build the Interstate Highway System. And yes, the vision of Ronald Reagan, who despite his aversion to government, was willing to help save Social Security for future generations.

These were serious leaders for serious times. They were great politicians, but they didn't spend all their time playing games or scoring points. They didn't always prey on people's fears and anxieties. They made mistakes, but they did what they thought was in the best interest of their country and its people.

That's what the American people expect of us today - Democrats, Independents, and Republicans. That's the debate they deserve. That's the leadership we owe them.

36. I have been so energized over the past few days
I really cant explain how happy I am to see Obama coming out and going on the offensive. Its like for the first time hes actually listening to what we have been saying to him. His speeches, plus his statement about not extending the Bush tax cuts are exactly what we need to be hearing from him right now. Seriously, if there is anyone on this site who is still unenthusiastic and angry at Obama, you need to suck it up and be realistic, this is great news and everyone should acknowledge that.

30. "That's the difference between the Republican vision of America and the Democratic vision!"
Edited on Wed Sep-08-10 01:36 PM by ClarkUSA
He cites two examples:

1. Closing tax loopholes to keep jobs in America
2. Spending stimulus money on infrastructure development
3. Tax cuts (making middle-class tax cuts "permanent" v. making wealthy tax cuts permanent)

:applause:

Okay, I'm going to take a break now to savor the sight and sound of this man who is the best President in my lifetime.
