Another Major Obama Speech..(yawn)
He is just going to copy Hillary and switch around a few points. He is pandering for the North Carolina vote I see. I'll be glad when he is back in the Senate, he is just really annoying with all his pontifications.

Another Obama Speech.. Right on target, to the point, honest and straightforward. If you think the last 7.5 years have gone well, you should vote for McMore-War who needs to take economics 101, otherwise vote Obama in 2008!!!

LOL

He is out to destroy the nation. Now he is going to crash all the banks.

Bankrupt the country.

Might be part of his over all plan.

I think by the time anyone one gets in office, the housing crisis will be done.

He has proven himself worthless as a senator, why would anyone even consider him for president. Unless they were brainwashed by his speeches.

if you want to address someone copying another's ideas, Obama sent a letter a year ago to the Fed Reserve - Clinton contacted them just last week with the same type of request he made last year. Seems like Clinton has trouble with her credibility on more things than just Bosnia.

bernadette, I thought I was the only one who remember that year old request.
He also did a speechcbased on it back then.

It's the Economy STUPID! Nobody knows less about the economy than McCain. He even said so. No wonder he had no ideas in his speech. Obama 2008!

he was giving less than 1% to charity till he planned to run for president. He gave $3000 to black-caucus and deducted as a tax-deductible which is illegal. Guy does not know this basic thing wants to run for US president.

Guy tried to cheat IRS, is talking about economy.

No party has ever held onto the white house in an election year that had a recession. Guess what, this is a recession. It's a sure bet President Obama in Jan. 2009.

Obama has not has an original idea on the economy in his entire life. He is McCain lite. Without the advice of his advisers he wouldn't have a clue. Let's leave the economy to Hillary. For 8 years we had the most prosperous times in a 60 year history with the Clinton Presidency. Hillary can bring us back to those prosperous times. Obama can't.

I realize this is a touchy subject but enough with the name-calling already.

It's making me wonder if we've got 10 year olds making posts on these blogs.

Folks, please learn to communicate properly, or follow some age-old advice, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, be quiet and just listen.'

It is estimated that Medicare will be exhausted by 2019. Does Obama want to hasten that with massive spending now at the expense of the future? During the 1980's housing crunch, where was the bail-out? Obama knows quite well that the Federal Government will NOT bail out home flippers, speculators, people who misstated their incomes, etc. This is just nice-sounding promises now that he does not have to keep later... just like his rhetoric on NAFTA.

He is targeting his base: the under 40 optimistic bunch who will either pay through nose in twenty years or have to live without Medicare.

Pleasing assurances, but more empty words…

yomama, you have it all wrong. What we need is some responsibility in the white house, something we have not have in the last 7.5 years.

another obama "major speech" - another opportunity for the media to give him many hours of free air time, including the standard fawning, shivering up the leg, proclaiming him the most knowledgeable on economics, ever, etc.

another opportunity for him to try to distract the public from his anti-americanism.

and, of course, yet another opportunity for him to put out other people's proposals as his own.

yawn.

Obama tried to cheat IRS by giving $3000 to black-caucus and deducted as a tax-deductible which is illegal. He has no right to talk about talking about economy.

Yes, another Obama speech. After all, it is a campaign, and candidates give, um, speeches. It just happens that Obama is better at it ... and has the better policies to talk about.

What strikes me as funny is Obama's claim to tell Americans what they need to hear, not what they want to hear. Yet, this is exactly what he rails against Mccain for doing. Mccain is 100% right, the govt should not bail out irresponsible lenders and borrowers, period. It's time to end the entitlement mentality and you're not going to get this from Obama. He talks out of both sides of his mouth - he's apparently for free markets working, yet wants govt to bail out irresponsibliity on both sides of the housing issue. He's for personal responsibility, but advocates affirmative action and blames the rich for the poors plight. Medicare is going bankrupt in 2019, yet he wants to put additional pressure on the system by moving towards a single payer healthcare plan. Obama is a nice talking walking contradition, and McCain just proved it with his speech. Obama wants the govt to fix everything that ails everybody, and in a time of economic downturn, that is a recipe for disaster. McCain didn't pander, and I think that startles both dem canddiates.

Jack, I wonder what you'll do when Obama loses in a landslide to McCain if he is the nominee, which I highly doubt. The super delegates would have ALL already committed to Obama if he really is the chosen one. What are they waiting for? Why are they all stalling?

Let's go the route of professional sports: 'Coca Cola's United States of America' or... America - brought to you by Visa.

Somebody please take the mike away from this clown. I've heard his canned speeches. He's an empty suit.

Jack Tracy,
