Sorry. Missed the speech. Couldn't be helped.

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

A few questions.

How many viewers tuned in to listen to the POTUS talk about Syria?


Did he make a case for his case?


Discuss.

[quinnox]

1. Mixed

CNN has a brand new poll, - asking, did it make a difference? - and it split down the middle.

[VanillaRhapsody]

2. 6 out of 10 is down the middle?

since when?

[quinnox]

7. CNN

"According to the poll, those who watched the president were divided on whether Obama made a convincing case in his speech for U.S. military action in Syria, with 47% saying he did and 50% saying he didn't.

The survey indicates that the speech didn't move the needle very much on whether U.S. air strikes against Syria would achieve significant goals for the U.S. Thirty percent of speech-watchers questioned before the address said yes. That number edged up to 36% following the address."

8. Oh really?

"According to the poll, 61% said they support the president's position on Syria, with 37% saying they oppose his response to the Syrian government's alleged use of chemical weapons against its own citizens."

3. Lets just put it this way...

The ODS crowd doesn't know which angle to pursue and are left dumbfounded by the Presidents clear and concise assessment. Stay tuned...

4. I purposefully watched a movie instead. I'm sure i will hear all about it all day tomorrow.

17. Don't like to make decisions for yourself?

Painful as it is, I think on things as important as this, it's critical to watch and form your own opinion rather than waiting to hear about it second-hand from others. Others might not have heard the same thing or had the same reaction.

You should trust yourself. I sure hope it was a good movie.

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

5. "The ODS crowd" moniker is a phantom concocted by those that can't take criticism.

[VanillaRhapsody]

9. If the syndrome fits.....

[JaneyVee]

10. No it's an actual thing. They're out there.

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

11. Yes, and I read from a DUer that his critics on the left are also racists.

So I will not take any of the "it's an actual thing" crowd at face value.

[JaneyVee]

12. Are you denying the existence of ODS?

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

13. ODS is a term used by psychotics and those who cannot take criticism.

[JaneyVee]

14. Uh....FOX news makes a living off of it. Ann Coulter sells books because of it.

Glenn Beckkk dupes morons out of hard earned social security benefits from it. But whatever.

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

16. Why would you wate your time listening to FOX Noise, Beck or Coulter?

They do what they do to rip people off. Republicans are just untrustworthy assholes. They'd sell their own mother if it would help their bottom line.

But since ODS is used as a propaganda attack line against the dirty lefties I guess that you weren't referring to us now, right?

15. I was in rehearsal

doubt if I would have watched it anyway, in fact, no I would not have.

I would rather read it than watch it, probably won't do that either.

Nothing will change my anti bombing, anti war stance.
