Reply #3: I did hear the speech.

[vi5]

I've heard a lot of speeches. I've seen a lot of actions on some things and inactions on others and those things don't always match up with what is said in the speeches.

I've praised him plenty when he deserves it. I'm sorry if you missed those instances. His gay rights speech was great and it matches up nicely with his actions and he deserves much credit in that area. Not perfect but I absolutely believe he's done every single thing he possible could in that area with what he was dealt.

His handling of the economy has been piss poor and it's been largely because he's spent too much time enacting policies that rely on and also appointing people who seem to fully believe in trickle down, supply side economics. So yes, on this area his sudden "come to Jesus" moment rings hollow to me. You disagree, and that's absolutely fine.
