Okay, this is the Obama I hoped for when I voted for him.

[Stinky The Clown]

Doing things to help real people.

Poking the obstructionists in the eye.

Demonstrating strength and leadership.








Man oh man. What could have been.

[panader0]

1. Agree---and what still can be

Obama says (in my mind), "lame duck bullshit, I tried for years to cooperate, the election is over, the shit is on."

[cilla4progress]

13. 'Zactly.

All along I said I expected this, but now I'm not really sure if I did!

Feels good, though. Hope he'll keep it up.

[Wella]

2. Do you know what scripture he is quoting?

Thanks!

[Brigid]

17. Exodus 23:9.

"Do not oppress a foreigner; you yourselves know how it feels to be foreigners, because you were foreigners in Egypt." (NIV)

[elias49]

3. Hear, hear!!

Great speech!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. Damn good speech. I agree: this is the Obama I hoped for when I voted for him.

Indeed: what might have been...

[Ykcutnek]

5. I teared up a little bit.

Never done that before.

History.

[denbot]

6. Nicely done Mr. President.

Watching from a loading dock in San Juan Batista, CA, as many of the hardworking people he is helping load my Big Rigg with fresh spinach bound for mid-western Thanksgiving tables.

Nicely done indeed!

7. Drive safely--keep the rubber side down.

[cilla4progress]

14. Sweet!

Thankful indeed!

9. Best. President. EVER

No one else even close.

[kardonb]

10. EVER

AMEN to that . I just love this man , such conviction , strength in adversity , and character !

[TransitJohn]

11. LOL. Hardly.

Obama is better than the rethugs he ran against, but not even in the same league with Jefferson, Lincoln, either Roosevelt, or Wilson.

He's tried a few things. He gave the country the precedent of owing money to corporations because you exist. Can't wait until we are forced to buy our water.

15. :SNORT:

[Half-Century Man]

12. Seen far too scarcely

I'm glad to see him back.

Fight on
Fight the right cause they're wrong.

[BrotherIvan]

16. I agree

What could have been. And who are his strong, vocal supporters? That's right, those liberal and progressive "f*cking r*tards" who always get shouted down for wanting ponies and not playing politics. Standing up immediately in support. When he goes all third way and Republican lite, who stands up for him? Nobody. Those DINOs and "Centrists" always have to protect their careers and get their payback. I hope the President sees the difference. Because this move was exactly the promise of Obama. The speech was excellent, clear and bold. I applaud him for it.
