Maybe what Obama and more than a few others "get" is that the business of America is business. Accordingly, who is surprised those running those businesses are going to profit no matter what? The question is how to insure that those profits also benefit the poor and working class that make up that economy as well. I could list some of those ways as I already have many times but why bother?
You know, I know this is what many are feeling, even I saw a difference, but he had a speech written for him and used a Teleprompter. It was very controlled and he was undoubtedly instructed to behave appropriately, since this was not a rally, but surely if he were back in front of his fans, he would be acting as he always has. He is not going to just turn into a better person, though he does appear to have a dual, if not multiple, personalities...(is a Gemini, afterall).
It occurred to me, that if I had not had any prior knowledge of him before hearing this speech, I would have thought he did not sound terrible, though not entirely believable. But, like many, I am aware of so much already, so I know better.
Funny, don't you think, how much attention we all give the quality of a speech, whether it was Obama then or Trump now, as compared to what actually is done (or not done) that really makes the difference?
"Actions speak louder than words" I think is the appropriate saying here...
Thing is though, about a speech, it points in a direction, and when it comes to that direction, I always felt Obama had a better vision on how to make America better rather than Trump's vision to make America great again. At least I was clearer about what Obama meant than I am about what Trump means in those regards...
That's hilarious. You're talking about Dems having no regard for the law when Flynn was forced to resign because of the Russian scandal, Kellyanne Conway is being investigated for ethical violations after plugging Ivanka Trump's business, and Jeff Sessions had to recuse himself from the investigation for perjuring himself about contacting the Russian and may also have to resign? Trump has barely begun his term in office. What were you saying again?
Or maybe some people are more interested in what people are actually doing rather than who says what in any given speech?
I suspect we all share the concerns that lots of these investigations are politically driven, but we're better off and should be thankful that both sides are hungry to expose the negatives of the other, even if not altogether fairly, or we'd not know even the little we do about the wrong-doing going on around us all the time. However, most of these wrong-doings mentioned here are only distractions from the overall wrong doing that Trump seems intent on continuing...

Flynn did nothing wrong because there is no Russian scandal, Kellyanne Conway can plug whatever the hell she wants and a bunch of idiots can investigate their prostates for all we care, and Jeff Sessions recused himself because he wanted to, the idiots have got nothing on him period.
Rather than post a long comment, I suggest anyone who is interested in hearing a good response to the 2/28/17 speech watch this video of Bernie Sanders. He points out what wasn't even mentioned, like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid or the high cost of prescription drugs. Trump also didn't mention anything about lowering the cost of college tuition or reducing student debt.
I thought President Trump did a good job and was presidential. I heard one colleague say she thought it was a unifying speech, and I don't think she's a fan of him. It was interesting how he started the speech by condemning the incident in Kansas and other hate crimes when he was criticized for not issuing a statement previously. I enjoyed the speech overall

Y'all lost again, again, and again.
Let's also mention that Sessions didn't have to recuse himself. He should not have done so. Flynn also did not do anything wrong. They didn't want to be a distraction, plain and simple.
Kellyanne, informally, can tell us what she likes. Leave her alone. It was not a formal speech.

Those familiar with him for decades see in him what you witnessed. Campaigning is a different story but fell in with the fed-up level of the People.
I mean there's my equal reply if we're just going to toss the bits of nonsense back and forth, again and again and again...
