    its sad that a lot of people don’t see his greatness and abilities, I’m glad he is our president. Give him time, he needs to clean up the mess of 8 years…..

    “Bonapartess’ I …
    “Bonapartess’ I doubt you bought the change and hope during the election because you’re are being cynical as of now. In this speech The Pres. said: “It’s the answer, that led those who’ d been told for so long, by so many to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.” Seems you haven’t seen a HCR bill yet and say it’s gonna raise a war on the poor. Gimme a Break!

    Yes, change and …
    Yes, change and hope. I bought it. And now he’s waged war on the poor with insane healthcare reform, and is under the delusion that the best way to cover people who can’t afford insurance is to make it mandatory, and when they can’t produce money from thin-air, PENALIZE THEM. Yes, that makes alot of sense. It’s easier to believe the poor are poor by choice and continue to grease a system designed to cater to the monpolies. Corporatism at it’s finest. But boy I bought the hope and change bit.

    my family has lived in texas for 8 generations, and have been democrats the whole time, but i am seeing the things democrats are saying about the state i love, and that is causing me to wonder if it’s worth being a democrat in a place that my political party hates….i am tired of defending texas when i see hate comments about it…..i just don’t think it’s worth it. now the democratic party is one less.

    As historic a victory as this was and as many people as there were on the day who realised how profound an event it was I truly believe that we will be a ways down the road before the real impact is felt in historic terms. I believe that in years to come when this event is put into proper historical context it will genuinely be seen as a mark of the ever evolving greatness of a relatively new nation still defining itself at home and abroad and still willing to do that. Progress over stagnation

    That smile at 0:29 was priceless. I tell you, here we have a revolutionary leader, ready to change and pull America through one of its most difficult economic times.

    God bless President Obama.

    Of all the pitfalls …
    Of all the pitfalls Obama might face in the presidency, here is one not many people predicted: He is struggling as a public communicator.

    The sluggish and unsteady response to the uproar over AIG bonuses highlights a larger problem of his White House: Obamas surprisingly uneven campaign to educate people about the economic crisis and convince Washington and the broader public that he is in command of circumstances.

    One

    Ass
    Mistake
    America

    seeing their family is just as inspiring as his words … while fashion is totally unimportant, it is so precious to see that his baby girl is not only holding his hand, but covered in the same fabric … such hope … god speed

    Obama believes in …
    Obama believes in Separation of Church and State, as any responsible leader does. Besides, not everyone believes in God (lack of evidence), and we are a pluralistic society, and must respect the rights and beliefs of everyone, because thats what they are, BELIEFS, not TRUTH. BELIEFS have NO place in Government.

    It’s unimportant, there are plenty, but Katherine Knight is an example of a Katherine with a bad reputation.

    I sense that you feel horny..need to express your sexual frustration.

    Tell me about that..

    Kidding, but that was about as random. Obama doesn’t need defending, his character speaks for itself.

    BlowsRaspberry

    to what ‘unsavory character’ are you referring?

    I sense you feel offended–need to defend Mr O.

    tell me about that…
