It's been so long since a president actually strung together words in a comprehensible fashion....

....it's like having a brand-new country with a brand new government.

:applause:

Except for members of congress, some of them need a swift kick.

:kick:

1. He is TOO coherent

Why would anyone trust a President who can actually speak in a coherent manner?

2. This is in stark contrast to the townhalls held by Specter

and others. The media was hoping Pres. Obama would be PWNED at his own townhall, but once again, they miscalculated. Pres Obama is an informed adult and leader who knows what he's talking about.

4. He's making SENSE!

I've listened to a lot of politicians, including some favorites, and it never ceases to amaze me how most of them, both sides of the aisle, are able to never get to the point, never answer a pretty direct question, and leave me asking, "What did he/she just say?"

:shrug:

10. The record was held by Everett Dirksen

Once in answer to a direct question he used 137 words to say "I don't know"

12. And going nukular on them.

Just clearing them away like they were brush on a pig farm. ;-)

8. I just heard the President say

this isn't about putting government in charge of health insurance.

Did he misspeak? Did he mean to say this isn't about putting government in charge of your health care decisions which should be between you and your doctor?

Because the heart of reform in my mind is EXACTLY about putting government in charge of health insurance, because the for-profit health insurance industry is ripping you off and is enabling providers to rip you off!

I want him to become more articulate as the debate goes on. Not less.

9. K&R for the swift kick.
