Sad when all GOP has to offer is hatred and heckling. You're that void of integrity, content, or any meaningful contribution to this country beyond cashing out it's brand name recongition. Pathetic waste of space. Give up the chair to independents. At least they're constructive and don't shred the ^%$*& constitution to pieces.
He said with all due respect to separation of powers, he disagreed with the ruling. Thats like saying others disagree with the President, or that the President disagrees with congress.
Its not disrespectful.
Then, he urged congress to pass a law that would limit campaign finance from corporations and foreign interests.
I agree with the Supreme courts decision that McCain Feingold was unconstitutional, however, nothing wrong with the President asking congress to fix the loop hole either.
How about when he is lying to the public, which is exactly what he did as he "framed" the issue? The ruling by the court will NOT allow foreign donations to political campaigns - but yet thats exactly what he said for the purpose of trying to get the public behind him on this red herring.

I believe it was the same old retoric. The same pablum puking people we always get, patting us on the head and saying we'll be OK. And it comes from both sides. My feelings are that we use the term limit in place and vote for real change and keep voting these bums out aft 4-8 years. They get too complacent and don't really do much more than go for re-election.
4. Actions speak louder than words. No doubt Obama can deliver a speech. Personally I love listening to him. I really do. I was the same with Clinton.
Obama just does not deliver on what he promises.
Work together? Yet they lock the other party out of meetings.
Change? What change? Bills are still loaded with pork. No accountability.
Change? The lobbyists still have more say than the voter.
Cut spending? Well we won't hold our breaths on that one.
I make 80G a year. I have yet to see him deliver on anything that helps my tax bracket.
If he is going to cut spending a good place to start is with foreign aid.

Haha, Obama complaining about foreign donations.. How quickly they expect us to forget about Obama and all of the donations made in individuals names who claim they never gave using throw away debit cards..
He has proposed a lot of spending and tax credits that will be balanced by taxing big companies and individuals making over $250,000. The spending won't pass, but tax credits will. The old tax cuts will be allowed to sunset, but it won't be enough to cover spending.
He didn't propose major cuts, but the budget committee he is commissioning by executive order will recommend major cuts in those items that he has NOT frozen. That will be interesting how he handles that.
I give it an 8 in presentation, a 5 in proposals.
Edit: added NOT in front of frozen
See Im pro Obama but why cant people just explain it the way you just did instead of calling him all the names they do. If that were the case a real debate could happen so.... thank you
I realize that the right-wing trash-peddlers are de facto obligated to invent ridiculous complaints about each hour of Obama's day, but this is really kind of lame even by their standards...

Sweet! Where's the link to this story? That definitely flew under the radar as far as I'm concerned.
