Vote

It was a huge mistake on Obama's part. I blame a fair amount of it on Emmanuel and Pelosi, bulldogs that thought they had a mandate, not realizing the need to work across the aisle. I think he was just too inexperienced to realize the mistake until it happened.

I'm not in love with the guy by any means. If the republicans can find a candidate I like, that's clearly my preference. If they trot out Palin, Trump, etc., I'll gladly vote for a 2nd Obama term.

I agree a 100% with my STRATFOR colleges in that "President Obama focused on domestic issues in his State of the Union Address last night - as did the Republicans in their response.

Glossing over the elephant in the room (two wars and an escalating Iran situation) may be a good move politically. But with troop withdrawals scheduled for Iraq and Afghanistan this year, and a likely power void for Iran to fill, America's global situation will call for some tough decisions in 2011".

i think you guys made solid points. i think he realizes as well as everyone now *************** is really bad.people are sick of the bs and fights on both sides. reality hit when the bullets start flying. i think that made a huge impact, bigger than one could imagine. look what happened in greece. they realize spending is nuts, healthcare is nuts, and unemployment is nuts. its a tough road ahead, they relaize we all want a common goal. a solid income, and a future. they way things are going neither is a guarantee. hopefully this wasnt a smoke n mirrors pep rally. lets stop talking and start acting america!

If he is that nieve than what was he doing in the presidents office where decisions a lot tougher than should I reach across the aisle must be answered on an hourly basis. He promised change when he campained and specifically said he would work with BOTH sides. He knew when he was elected he had more power than he would ever have again and he shut out the republicans and abused his power. What he was nieve about was thinking that he could bankrupt the country and rape the rich and not suffer any political consequences. He was also nieve to think Americans were sheep, and would put up with his agenda. The Dems, and the Media bashed Bush relentlessly for 8 years, questioning his intellegence, calling him a murderer and worse, They never suggesting that they mix up the seating,or stop the rhetoric. Now that they have suddenly lost some power they are trying to make it politically incorrect to criticize their guy or thier policys. What a load of crap.
Barrack administration has Exponentially driven up government spending and the deficit as no other has ever done, then he goes on TV and lectures the country about deficit spending, he follows up with a list of things he wants to invest(spend on) while giving no list of what to cut. The only reason he is speaking of reducing the deficit is that he knows the republicans will force spending cuts. He and the dems will villify the republicans during the process, and gain as much political capital as they can, and then when he signs the spending cuts into law he will say, look I cut spending just like I said I would. This guy will say anything to gain power and then do exactly what he wants.

So...did we elect the right guy to handle the situation in Egypt? He seems to lack any real commitment to the outcome and its long term implications to the region.

hate to say it, wish we felt that strong about our government...we will see the outcome by the people, whether good or bad they are doing something about it...sht Dave we send them 2 billion a year in aid already, what possibly could Obama do?
last time we sent the military in on domestic soil, 4 got killed in Ohio...you gotta say that with a ryhme lol

True!! You have to weigh how good all these new "uncles" treat you and how hot your new step monster will be.

Barrack called for stopping the violence in egypt in his speech last night, that should solve it. What an amazing leader, and so effective.

KY, or give em all guns,
the problem in that country is a map of what is going on here....use to be a middle class in Egypt, it dissolved, now there is very rich and very poor....know in betweens.

why should the US even get involved? we got enough of our own problems, we cant even take care of ourselves let alone sticking our noses in their problems...thats the sht that got us pulled into Iraq with the Kuwait gig....to many alliances.
I say let it run its coarse. isnt 2 billion enough?, The US is like a big cow with a hundred stretched titties hanging, we are a self sustaining island and no need to look afar.
I have no idea who comes up with these policies, we'll pay you and protect you from evil forces, now if im not mistaken, the big man in prison doesnt give out cartons of smokes and offers free protection, you pay him and bow to him....the lion in the jungle eats first and then shares. the numbers have to be staggering in foriegn aid..
we are a ragged, tired country, and what does it boil down too, cheaper crude? not really, if that was the case we would pull up to the pumps and not swipe the card, if we did swipe the card it would be a thank you card.
funny though, recently in the land of opportunity, obesity surpassed the death rate of people that smoke....at least we aint starving.

Great clip Marty, Sometimes I feel like I was born a generation to late.

If I heard right, we'll save over the next ten years about the same amount we'll be borrowing next year. Makes sense to me...

Also, I want to congratulate the bassist(not guitar) who won the grammy. She's sold many an album to beat out that Canadian guy...what's his name? Did anyone else hear about that?

And how long does it take a politician to forget a message sent in an election, snub his constituants, and go back to business as usual? Snookie's IQ in days, hours, or minutes?
