I am going to watch. I hope it's good; I don't want another Ice Cream speech.

I just cant take all of the clapping. It drives me nuts.
It was a good speech, I never seem to get too much behind what politicians say. I cant say I agree with his stance on high school drop outs and College grads though.
I missed the whole thing. Anyone care to recap in less than 150 words?
Bunches of people clapped for 10 or so mins when Obama entered.
Obama: "Change will come, things will get better, I closed Gitmo"...that's what I caught.
Anything I missed?
So he recapped his election ads?

So yes. Style, B+. Substance, F. (Mind you, I even like him I think, I just thought maybe with all that talking, someone might say something.)
I guess all that matters is he can give a good speach regardless of the material it covers. I'll look into what he had to say last night.
I just honestly don't think he has anything to say yet. We're in tough, really cr@ppy times right now - one guy took 8 years to muss it up and this guy has been in there maybe a month? They passed a bill but haven't even divvied the money yet. All he can make are assurances and "when I'm president I will" type speeches, so yes, it's like the election again.
(DD: lost jobs hurt, but I'm with the group that can't even get a first job. That's all I hope for the dozens of unemployed from my graduating class. We're not on unemployment, because my understanding is you can't get unemployment until you've been employed to begin with. So you have to be employed to get unemployment. Does that make sense?)
I am a Republican all the way. I am not happy with the current administration. But to say that our previous president had nothing to do with our economy problems is a little out there. I think we should not get this thread going in this direction though. If people want to comment on the speech that is fine.
1.)*there is a great deal of grey matter here* - the president is given far to much credit/blame for the economy (I dont want to get political here, but it is a fact...)

Agree with both of you. My main point was that just not a lot can happen in a month, so there's not going to be a lot (new) to comment on.
if nothing can happen in a month why did we have to rush the bill through...
