Poll question: Is it possible
that the President is now finally as fed up with the constant bullshittery of the GOP as we are?

2. if we are to get
campaign obama its good because he is the POTUS
he has to rally his voters now so his actions are directly relatable
during an election cycle i think he will be forced to walk the walk to enjoy the ability to talk the talk
i have been brutally disappointed by this guy
but if he will be campaign obama while he is being POTUS then i will support him
now we will see if he understands the bully pulpit

3. Yes......
But I think that it will all depend on how we behave.

Whether we will actually use our power to get something done,
or whether we'll just sit on the sideline and point and jeer.

4. Most of us who have been disappointed want to love,
respect and admire him. We have been sitting on the edges of our seats, waiting for him to do the right thing.

We need our faith restored.

It is up to him. If his actions match that speech, things could get better.

I don't think the repubbies will cooperate with him. The only reason they seem chastened at the moment is because of their poor polling. They know they are unpopular. They fear the loss of their elections.

They will continue to find ways to obstruct him. He has to find ways to let them know that Mr. Bipartisanship is not home any more.

It is not up to us. It is up to him.

6. Voted "It's possible" because, well...it's possible. Not holding my breath, but hoping too
I have been disappointed in him so often that I remain skeptical, including now. I did like much of what he said. Does he finally "get it?" For the sake of all of us, I hope to god the answer is yes.
