The soaring rhetoric of Obama's 2008 campaign has been replaced by awkward poorly planned speeches in front of a handful of tepid supporters.

That speech yesterday in MN was embarassing to watch.

Didn't this president, get our memo, from those who voted him in. Or does he not know how messaging services work!

Does he not know how to listen, or is it that he won't listen?

From the speech...

So I am very pleased to be out of Washington -- (applause) -- and it is great to be here. What I’m going to do is I’m just going to say a few things at the top, and then what I want to do is just open it up for questions and comments, and I want to hear from you guys. That’s the reason that we’re on this bus tour.

So is he telling the people this as if they could not figure it out OR is he making the statement to remind himself why he ventured away from DC?

Obviously, the voters did. Remember now, the polls showed the public AGAINST raising the debt ceiling.
