Anybody else think Obama is an overrated orator? He tries so hard to be a 21st century version of MLK, but it just comes off as arrogant and ultra corny.

When he states "it's not Vietnam" I think, "no, it's ten times worse".
If you believe that The War in Afghanistan is anywhere near or worse than Vietnam you my friend are beyond uninformed....
Your opinion on this entire matter should be completely ignored

He was clear, concise , intelligent and informed...haters like yourself will always spin things to find something to criticize

He touched on everything including what the opposition has been saying and refuted them rather clearly

Have you seen one of Bush's speeches? He pretended as if opposition didn't even exist let alone address them!

Bush intentionally brought up '911' in nearly every speech when persuading this country to go along with his plans to attack Iraq. It was a flim-flam trick.

Your body starts to go into a sleep mode when it gets close to your bedtime, and after you become very relaxed, like the soldiers were in the chairs.

Are you going to tell me you've never seen relatives or friends yawn and begin to fall asleep late in the evening while sitting on a living room chair?

Or during a late show in a movie theater?

Not really. All the occupation in the world can't transform an uncivilized society into a democracy. What works in Japan and Germany post WW2 doesn't work in Iraq.

As ObamaBush speaks, gold zooms past 1,200/oz. Looks like his war is taking a further toll on the dollar.

LOL what do you think the enemy had been doing the last 7 years when Bush practically ignored Afghanistan?

Taliban retooled and reemerged. The ppl responsible for attacking US on 9/11 has yet to be defeated.

Bush sleep on all that and you didn't mind

Yet an Obama speech gets you all scared and riled up lol
Quite comical!
