Well PowerStroker was so kind as to carpet bomb my efforts in the AFR with this shoddy quality video
The video itself is such poor quality you dont even want to watch it more than 5 minutes. Obama does nothing but show boat and spout out answers he will never be able to deliver on.
One thing is for sure, the Republicans were feeding him rope. What Obama did was basiclly try and piss people off, rather than really trying to make that connection. Hot air and empty promies from his empty suit. Republicans were suffering from trying not to laugh and spout out things such as "You Lie" or "Simply not true". Instead they took the low road and got Obama to make a bunch of promises he will never be able to keep.
Is there any other way to see it? It's plain to see. Obama wasnt there to find a way to work with the Republicans, he was there to make an ass out of himself to vindicate the mass.acure Brown delivered in that really blue state.
None the less it took some balls to go in there. The only thing is does he have the ability to deliver? I mean anyone can talk the talk... And if Obama is good at anything, talking the talk is one of them... Just seems that walking the walk is not something he can deliver. Maybe he plans on making his VP Biden walk the walk, I hear he did lots of walking to work every day prior to his new position.
Good try PowerStroker... If you boy can deliver he will prove is all wrong... Its a win-win. Only problem is that he stalled too long, the public wasnt as dumb as he thought, now he has to work for it. Course he could have just done more out the gate when he had that super majority, but he was too busy being a big shot. Truth is he should have been doing this all along. Easier said than done? Yeah maybe if you werent sitting on a $1 billion dollar TARP with a full Democratic government.

Did you actually watch it? He didn't make any promises, he just answered their questions and explained to them how budgeting actually works. I think he held his own pretty well, and so did Fox news which cut away from the coverage as soon as it became evident that the Republicans were looking bad.
Dude... Ill be honest with you... That video is VERY POOR QUALITY....
If that is what they were streaming to FOX there is no doubt why they cut away.
I think its just wonderful that Obama waited a year to talk to the Republicans. I wonder if it had anything to do with what happend in Mass.?
You also forget one thing... Obama is the President. And while we can speek freely of what we think about him here and in other private forums, it's quite clear the Republicans were just letting him vent his frustration and showing respect, thats something Obama has never had, and likley never will.
I have been trying to watch all that video, but as I mentioned the quality really sucks... You got one in better quality or does it get better later on?

Oh come on man, having to watch Obama in low res. is cruel and unusual punishment.
See I have what is considered the equivalent of a Cheep-Skate internet plan. That in I dont pay hardly jack squat because I am not a bandwith junkie. Well at least not in the sence that I need high transfer rates for watching movies. I pretty much do my reading the old fashioned way.
One of the cool things about having this slow broadband is when I watch live streamed coverage from The White House.com Take for instance Presidents latest state of the union address where as it would always seem to lag when Nancy Pelosi was sitting down. When she sits she covers her crotch, and how do I know that? Because it would always seem to lag on that exact frame. I must admit its a good tactic because I was much less bothered by Obama and much more interested in catching Nancy Pelosi grabbing her crotch like Michael Jackson.
Another thing that kept the SOTU address intersting with my lagging video was watching how often Joe Biden puts his hand inside his suit coat. I dont know if he has some kind of device in there, or he was having a heart attack from having to stand up and sit down so much. All I know is it appered to be his chest area and I thought he was going to keel over at any second, drop to his knees and then his head fall into Obama's ass. Course that never happend, the heart attack part anyway. So I am left to assume he was texting or turning down his hearing aid.
Yeah I must admit its the "Little" things that kept my intrest while Obama was jabbering. Of course the audio was dead on and never missed a beat. Perhaps the White House figured out how to keep my attention during speeches.
Who knows.
