Hey Skip, You obviously make a quarter million dollars or you wouldn't be worried about taxes under Obama. Messiah, hardly how about someone who actually has a vision rather than an excuse to clean up Daddy's Iraqi mess.
With that said when do you start to pull together with the rest of us for change. If you liked the economy for the past eight years why don't you continue to live in it. While big corporations were setting up shop overseas the rest of us pea on workers did not even get a cost of living increase. But I forgot you make over a quarter million and would like more of the same. People wonder why Americans can't afford to pay their house payments. Your job went overseas the pay the people over there less to make the product and we the American people bend over and pay out the gazoo for a product they now make huge profits off of. These corporations want to now screw you on your pension. We have to pay so much for there pension so were going under. Every corporation will now screw the American workforce despite the fact they were making profits just bad business decision. We the rest of the people want real change. First of all
spending 10 billion in Iraq is not change it is more of the same. Thats 10 more billion we could feed our own people with. You want to continue on the War Mongers path suit up and go over seas and fight for Iraqi freedom.
I am choosing to support the president and his policy's including taxing the rich scum who have actually stolen our retirement. The money didn't just disappear who has it and why aren't we going after them to pay it forward?

Skip,

how so? it says 'presidential address', which it is. Its an existing tradition that used to happen on the radio, now it also happens on yt (Jake, why can't we write the whole word there?). As for the person delivering it, i believe he is referred to as the 'president elect' under the video.

What would you like it to be renamed? "presidential-elect address"?

Jen,

So? Can you perhaps point out something more trivial??

"A teacher reads out of a textbook instead of talking DIRECTLY to his people" Oh noes, he must be talking nonsense

This is real convenience for Obama since he has the teleprompters right in front of him.

Hillary does not need teleprompters.
She can speak DIRECTLY to American people.

Yes We can
Change we can believe in
Change we needed

Well, the only change I see so far is election. All the Clinton's staff are back at Obama's house.

What change may I ask? Should vote for Hillary and NO change is needed

Funny....I see ABC already calls their Messiah "President" rather than President "Elect"...I can't wait for the shot of him healing the blind, calming the storm and walking on water. I guess the Parable about the 3 talents will be translated as 3 people who will pay more taxes, get less for their money and their government

President Obama is as uninspired as President Bush.

I'm glad Obama's got his priorities straight. The work will be hard, but yes we can!

Alternative energy. Alternative energy. Alternative energy. Can't say it enough.
