President Obama is kicking republican ass in Pittsburgh. His speech on economy

[AlinPA]

is loaded with remarks about how R's try to stop everything.

1. Yes he is, I am enjoying listening,

More please, this needs to be repeated over and over from now to Nov. They should be made to pay for their unwillingness to help the country out in this great time of need. Let them scream about blaming Bush he needs to be blamed, his incompetency is being played out in the Gulf now!

2. Watching it on CSPAN-MSNBC cut it off for "comments" by talking heads.

HLN did not even carry it when I checked.

3. that's why I listen on my computer, who needs

useless talking heads when I can listen to the source. They are legends in their own minds.

6. The post speech "reviews" by pundits are sickening.

9. The didn't even let him finish! It is the most rude thing and they do it all the time....

As if what they have to say is more important than what he is saying.

he was not even half way through when they cut away....

4. Hwew's what I've Gogled so far:

He added: "It's an agenda that basically offers two answers to every problem we face: more tax breaks for the wealthy and fewer rules for corporations."

8. Nice talk

He's right. Conversely, in the TARP funds, and the various bailouts, he wasn't exactly replete with onerous rules for corporations either. And his primary focus for reducing deficits seems to be focuses on Social Security reductions, not out of control spending on two wars. And it's not like he overturned any of those tax cuts for the wealthy when he hit office. Quite the opposite, he seemed to prefer cadillac taxes, which wasn't actually a tax on cadillacs, but on the blue collar worker plans of the people that made the.

This is one area where he will get to effectively use his incremental approach. Each bill, each session of congress, he can undo one more of these legacy Bush problems and at the end of 8 years have something that in total will be a significant accomplishment. A touch more audacity wouldn't hurt though.

5. Yea, he makes so much sense and has such a clear vision, but

WHERE'S THE EMOTION????!!!!!!!!!!

7. Yes, is he angry? Is he pounding on the podium? Did he kick Bo on the way out of the house?

12. I hear he shouted at AF1 pilot!

13. Did anyone hear MSNBC's Mike Vicara(sp?)?

What an asshole. He started his diatribe saying the President is giving a very partisian speech to a non-partisan audience and then said, "he's pushing his climate tax. Oops, I guess I shouldn't have said that. I meant to say he's pushing his climate bill."

Yeah, oops. Dick.

14. LOL at "MSNBC is the LIBERAL FOX!"

They swing pretty right as far as I can tell, except for a handful of evening programs.
