[Cali_Democrat]

I give it an A. What about you guys?

[FrenchieCat]

1. You didn't give it an A on your poll yet.

[Cali_Democrat]

4. Oh...whoops

Done :)

[catgirl]

2. So, you gave him an F?

surprise, surprise.

[Cali_Democrat]

6. I gave him an A

It was a great speech.

[catgirl]

8. Sorry- there was only one vote (an F) when I read this

I assumed the OP did this.

[Cali_Democrat]

10. In the 3+ years I've been on DU....

I never knew you could vote in your own poll until now.

LOL

[lamp_shade]

3. Hmmm. I wonder who gave it an F. Hmmm.

15. Probably the same people commenting at raw story

There is an article there about Obama leaning right and the commentors are saying they are gay, vegan, etc and that they are going to vote for the GOP.

Yeah...right.

5. Had to go with a B.

Liked a lot of it, but didn't hear enough toughening up on corporate taxes to give it an A.

[DJ13]

7. I gave it a C

It was a brilliant speech, but its too early to know if he's capable of the follow through it will require to make it more than just a great speech.

11. More than likely it is the American people who will have to follow through here.

Call, write, crawl to DC to get those crazy folks to wake up. The speech let's us know that Obama is still in there, but, he told us years ago that he can't do this without the people. We get what we put into it. Unless you are one of the 2% there is a great chance that you don't have someone working for you in Congress right now.

9. Gave him a B, 'cause I wanted him to say "Fuck you!" to our Economic Royalty. nt

[Hoyt]

12. That would have been great.

[FrenchieCat]

13. I gave him an A, because I think if he could have, he would have said Fuck you to them.....

but he restrained himself due to knowing better.

[AnnaLee]

14. While most people are at work

He gives a speech. So rather than the workers hearing what he actually said, they get to hear specially chosen excerpts, many out of context, with any spin the media stars want to give. Real smart! The speech might be A but the politics doesn't appear to be more than a D.

[Cali_Democrat]

16. I'm at work, but I read the transcript.

You can read the whole thing online.

[wysingm]

17. It was better than all those rumors

an A

[bertman]

18. An A-plus. That's the guy I voted for.

Now we'll see if he will fight for those things he so eloquently spoke of today.

I'm hopeful.

[Shiver]

19. It's not all on him

WE have to take up the fight too. Support this plan, and/or improvements to it, and do everything you can to get your Congresscritters to support it.

[vaberella]

20. I gave it an A. And plan on helping him meet his objective by calling and picketing. n/t

[Keith Bee]

21. I give the speech a K

and R! :thumbsup:

[elocs]

22. Didn't hear it, don't know. n/t
