Pres. Obama gave a great speech tonight, one of his best. he has great speech writers. but i think it really expresses his sentiments. but look at his gray hair - the job is really aging him. He is still physically fit, but appears much older. anyway, if you read the entire text of his speech, it was great. even referred to ronald reagan. reminded everyone about George W. and his spending, his tax cuts, how the burden of taxes increased on the middle class and working poor under George W.
John Boehner, on the other hand, gave a speech that can only be described as demagogic. he said things that were patently false, or in the words of the congressman from SC, Joe Wilson, "that's a lie!" To show that joe wilson is not the only emotional immature member of congress, John Boehner (who oftens cries when he gets emotional) sounded like a 12 yr old brat who is nah nahing someone during recess. read his full text, and you can see the absolute false hoods. BTW, take a good look at John: he gets tanned, his hair is tinted, his shirts are custom fitted, and his ties must cost a small fortune (several $ hundred a piece at least). And THIS is a guy worried about working people? His "small business" he ran that he refers to was a restaurant bar he inherited from his parents - all he had to do was pop out of the womb. This is a guy who paid $150,000 in golf fees last year, he belongs to an exclusive all male club in ohio ( no blacks or jews) and he has playing rights at 16 resorts compliments of his rich cat friends. This guy is a slick looking Newt Gingrich - where do the republicans GET these guys? Central casting? "Get me a congressman who is vain, dresses in expensive clothes, is a member of a sexist-racist country club, someone who has done absolutely nothing in life to achieve success other than emerging from his mother's womb" and voila! John Boehner shows up : someone called me?
