I think Obama has finally heard us

[Avant Guardian]

My intuition tells me that this time he is serious. I have not had much faith in him for a while now...

I still have some low level skepticism, but my intuition usually serves me pretty well.

2. "Hope and change - really, this time I mean it"

Talk is cheap, he'll have to follow up with action before I believe anything he says.

[Whisp]

5. he didn't say anything today that is new news.

he has said it all before.

don't you read or listen?

[craigmatic]

6. hearing us and listening to us are 2 different things. It's not clear if he's really listening to us

or not at this point. Only his actions will show us the truth.

9. Wishful thinking.

Don't hold your breath. The campaign for reelection has started and talk is real cheap.

12. Words are nice; actions count. He's still buying into the Republican narrative...

...re the deficit, even promising $3 in tax cuts for every dollar of raised revenue. The WH has also said that "everything is on the table" but won't put the carbon tax on the table.

Now's the time for Dems (voters and Congress) to pull negotiations LEFT.
