Transcript of Pres. Obama's speech:

[dixiegrrrrl]

Lots of discussion going on today on what EXACTLY he said, what he meant,
what was vague and non-specific, what the weasel words were, etc.

1. Thanks

I also appreciate you making sure I know what to look for. :rofl:

3. "what the weasel words were" Yeah, I got a kick out of that too

Well at least we got a good link to the transcript. Maybe this will cut down on "Obama said all we can do is pray for a solution" type threads.

5. Actually I posted it because of several threads

that were making confusing claims about what was said and not said.
And there was a discussion of weasel words, empty promises, over-reaching, etc.
Thought this might clear it up;.

2. Thanks for posting this

CSPAN cut in late, and I thought I might have missed the call-to-arms at the beginning.

I'm glad to know I didn't miss a thing.

4. Well, since you know where the transcript is, why don't you

post some examples of those "weasel words?"
