Yes, the country, and perhaps the world is going to come to a fiery and untimely end because Barack Obama is not perfect or a Republican.

This room is full of twits.

My sister is smart but she has a harder time with memorization. If she uses note cards and I rely on my memory, we'll probably run about even or she'll do slightly better than me (in terms of speeches). It's a matter of personal preference. And really, it's not ALL about the media when it comes to national issues. So what if they can't get the "perfect" shot?


yes, we should be kinder about this, just because he messed up and thanked 'President Obama'
that is just nit picking......
just because he can not find his own ass with both hands, we should give him a break.......

If you want to "put this crap to rest", let it begin with you.
Once you can let go of the childish behavior and comments and focus on real issues, at that point you will contribute something valuable. Until that time, your comments and focus on something so trivial is just childish behavior...once YOU'VE put that to rest and focus on REAL issues THEN the crap will end.

It's interesting that the use of the tele-prompter prevents him from making eye contact with the audience.

It's well noted that liars won't/can't look you in the eye while telling the lie. Coincidence?

If this wasn't all so tiresome, it would be amusing. I believe you were the one who said you wanted to see all this put to rest. So who's childish now?

I'm not putting anything to rest. For the next 3 years and 9 months I will follow very carefully everything this man does. When he does something right, if that happens, I'll be the first to jump on the bandwagon and applaud him.

I've said time and time again no one wants him to succeed more than I do ... but succeed at taking us back to a great economy in a capitalist society, not a socialist one.

So unlike you, I could care less what party is in office if they do their job well. Right now none of them are ... not the Republicans and not the Democrats. Right now they're all self involved and in a state of denial and confusion. It's one big mess and the majority of the country is well aware of that.

But you don't bother to read my posts, you just get all out of joint because you just know I don't agree with you.

But I'm bored now because the target isn't budging. It's a lot more interesting to shoot a moving target than a stagnant one.

What??? Have you not seen him speak before? What do you think he's looking at when he's looking around the room? Are the rooms empty?

yawn...Believe it or not i have read you posts and responded to the one post that is ilrelevent to the state of the Economy as i would with any post no matter if it supports a republican or democrat, i guess you haven't read my posts...
As i stated before, there are bigger issues that should be the focus of everyone's attention. The use of a prompter or paper speach has no immediate baring on the state of the Economy on the wars, unemployement, high tuition, medical insurance. Out of joint, not at all i haven't stooped to the level of many of the posters on CD.
As far as this target your trying to shoot, have fun with that for the next 3 years and 9 months, my time and energy will be better spent working and dealing with real issues not worrying about a prompter or paper speach.

He looks like he's watching a tennis match - left, right, left, right.

Yeah, ok Sanrene, another awesome post by you. Why don't you take a closer look next time he speaks, you'll see that you have no idea what you're talking about...as usual.
