It would be funny if Obama's speech-date actions were chess moves to embarass his left-wing critics.

1. and in the process come at the GOP from a direction they least expect
as he maneuvers to end the wars, end the worst excesses of the Bush assault on the Constitution, work hard to get a true public option established for millions of Americans and a bunch of other stuff too! When will people start realizing the cunning brilliance of this extreme thinker.

Cheers!

3. the speech date doesn't amount to much in the long run, but I don't see much evidence of attempting
the other things you mentioned.

29. with so many ''centrists'' here, I thought there was a chance it might be serious.
they've kind of distorted the discourse.

10. As a critic I'd love nothing more than to be embarrassed in the way you speak of.
Of course it would be tough to be embarrassed since the President can't do much legislative wise so he'd have to be quite aggressive in areas under his control.

As it stands, we'll just continue to be embarrassed at the bullshit policies.

come up with any way to try to embarrass the left possible.

17. Obama doesn't play chess
Stop being an Obama supporter stereotype. Deal with reality. Stop putting all your hopes and dreams onto this man already. He's a regular person, who's dealing with a vast amount of doo doo. Obama doesn't have some secret plan. You sound nuts.

22. Really, do you feel embarrassed?
You should, seeing how "speech date" isn't hyphenated and you misspelled "embarrass."

26. Yes.
It's highly amusing to watch him throwing all those votes away, headed into 2012 with his support dropping.

31. It would be funny..if it were some kind of chess move. But, it wasn't.
It was, however, sheer stupidity or, just another cave.

33. The President's more a Yahtzee player, really
Keeps rolling the dice and rolling the dice, hoping against hope something useful will appear.

And then the inevitable, sad little X's put down instead of points.

Happens all the time.
