Nah... some of us wanted someone who actually knew how to govern.

And being articulate is always a requirement of mine. I guess I'm just a snobbish elite that way?

It's not too much to ask that a President who allegedly earned a college degree speak in words larger than the ones on the 3rd grade proficiency tests.

Those words contain a depth and a nuance that most adults need to hear in a leader.

Eh... he's the president now, so I guess we'll see how badly he screws things up or not.

The link was not showing when I responded and it was noted by another poster too. And I simply stated the fact that overhead views show a lot of ground empty.

Sorry if you can't deal with the truth and need to hurl insults.

Lesson learned.
I'm right there with you...I wish the new President well but dark times are on the horizon I fear.

Boring speech. The off-the-cuff speech he gave after winning was more poignant and beats the pants off of this one.

Yes he should have reached out to all the people. The America first stuff is positive but all the people who did not vote for him are also America. Of course they would never accept his olive branch but he should have put it out.
