3. Are you serious?
Making valid criticisms of the president is equal to showing him disrespect? Everything Rachel said about Obama was inarguable and perfectly logical.

What about what she said was wrong?

5. LOL!
You should probably stick to White House press releases then.

10. Agreed
I was disappointed in the speech. I wish it had been more pointed and with a greater push away from fossil fuels, but I am equally or more disappointed in MSNBC's crew and the media in general. MSNBC, CNN, FOX, et al are looking for ratings and the ad revenue driven by those ratings (hence the Keith vs Billo pseudo conflict and alike). I like Rachel, I think she is pretty good, but these are opinion shows not news shows (although occasionally there is some shred of news involved). My thanks to them, but I can form my own opinion on issues and really don't need their help to know I wanted a different speech or listen to them dissect every word & nuance of what was said and wasn't.

I will watch the President on C-Span or through other means and then I will form my own opinions. I will then contact my representatives when I feel the need and I will vote (or this year perhaps not) as I deem appropriate.

14. I thought Rachel's fake presidential speech was awful.
It was just one lengthy yappity yack.

If Obama's was graded at a level of 9th grade, hers would have been even higher.

Beware of the itch and most drugstores carry nit combs.

4. That was very good
Especially the part on how we should be hammering on the point that OIL IS NOT SAFE and OIL COMPANIES ARE NOT OUR FRIENDS.

17. Yep, precisely as I suspected last night

She wrote a speech aimed squarely at her very narrow audience.

Lovely words and sentiments, but wouldn't play to the general populace.
