Personally I can't stand Pelosi - she's like some "hey, I'm with the cool guys" clique cheerleader. Opens her mouth waaaaay too often for my tastes.

Obama did his job.
He is great at delivering prepared speeches and this one was no exception. I think he did his best to balance optimism about the future and the uncertainty of current affairs. And he did a good job of finding common ground to bring this country together.
He laid out his three most important issues: healthcare, renewable energy, and education. However, his approach seems to involve a lot of government spending and growth. I am very skeptical about his claims to reduce the deficit, considering the ambition of his plans and the level of government involvement.
I watched some analysis last night that was interesting. Obama said that the stimulus bill contained zero earmarks. Technically this may be the case, but the Republicans semmed to think otherwise as you could here them almost laughing at this statement. He also said that next years budget will involve zero earmarks. But he failed to talk about this years budget. The democrats have just proposed a $400 billion dollar budget loaded with 8,000 earmarks. The Obama administration has signaled that they will not obstruct the passage of the bill.

Did anyone catch it when Obama said that the US invented the automobile? He immediately lost some credibilty with me when I heard it. He was bending the truth for the sake of drama.

Obama even admitt's that "our children will inherent a mountian of dept" ***Caused by Obama***
Obama another history lie during speech....the civil war was over before the coast to coast system railroad was completed...I guess they didnt teach that is your muslim school?
obama has no idea about history and made alot false claims but keep on clapping because people have a "Man Crush" on obama.
That speech went 53 minutes too long...because Pelosi count sit down....btw how much of our money went to her boob job?
Pelosi...do you know how many 500,000,000 people are? Maybe if you include the muslims in those 57 States that obama visited during his campaign....

I will give him that, he is a phenomenal orator, a rhetorical mastermind. that is what my degree is in, comm/rhetoric, and a few of my professors, regardless of their stance on him as a politician, praise how well he can deliver a speech. Regardless of policy(ies) & standpoints, you can agree or disagree, but that is part of the equation of what largely got him elected, the man can talk, and he can talk very well. One of the criteria the American people look for in a Presidential candidate is, a ordinary person giving an extraordinary performance, and he delivered.
but lets just see if he can walk his talk. i have no other opinions i wish to disclose thus far, its still too early, just want to see if he can do what he says.

Wtf???
Mate, I stand corrected... you're not the lunatic fringe, you are simply a lunatic
We've already passed a $700 billion bailout of the banks that Bush passed through Congress. So that's his fault as well??
You spout off accusations that are false and misleading to propell your anti-Muslim fervor.
First off the Railroad Act of 1862 put government support behind the transcontinental railroad and helped create the Union Pacific Railroad, which subsequently joined with the Central Pacific at Promontory, Utah, on May 10, 1869, and signaled the linking of the continent.
The Civil War ran from 1861 to 1865.
President Obama's quote was:
"In the midst of civil war, we laid railroad tracks from one coast to another that spurred commerce and industry. "
So if the Railroad Act was signed in 1862 and wasn't completed until 1869 and the Civil War was between 1861 and 65 - I would say yes - in the midst of civil war - the US was laying down railroad tracks.
Dude, move on to Xanax, the Ritalin ain't cutting it anymore!
As I'm sure you'll question these obvious historical facts - go here and see.

I thinks its BS that Obama is reducing taxes for the people who are in foreclosure or for people that cant pay their rent
and not doing anything (maybe raising taxes) for the people that can actually pay. and have good cedit
