Obama just delivered a

Posted: Jan 17, 2010

brilliant and inspiring speech before the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church honoring MLK Day. The content also included some self-effacing statements on his disappointment with the lack of progress made during his first year toward bipartisanship.

Teleprompter Is Working... - AZMT

[ In Reply To ..]
Obviously the teleprompter is working and his speechwriter is having a good day, because that's the ONLY way that the commie empty suit could deliver a "brilliant and inspiring" speech.

Obama delivers a good speech, but backs it up - with nothing but junk, unfortunately.nm

The empty suit has done a fabulous job of giving several contradicting and unconvincing speeches and broken promises throughout his first year. Bravo! LOL

Yes indeed. He is just a PUPPET, however. He takes his marching orders from Z Big (a KNOWN COMMUNIST) and the rest of the Trilateral Commission.

LOL again. Obozo's honeymoon is over.... - jlk

Overwhelming statistics reveal the failure of Barack Obozo. He has lied and has questionable ties to socialists/marxists like Van Jones and Anita Dunn. Even a significant majority of the African American community feel he is a fraud and have accused him of playing 'plantation politics.' He is out of touch with mainstream America and wants to create a culture of government dependency in order to create even more entitlement programs and give free healthcare to illegals, his last hope of constituency.

You mean like - sm

all those overwhelming statistics you have yet to cite in your posts below?

CBS did a recent national poll...Google it. - jlk

[ In Reply To ..]
45% disapproval rating. The CBS poll agreed with Gallup and Rasmussen and all of the others. Google is your friend, or if you're too lazy, go to CNN and look at their political ticker. Surely you're not that lazy to Google or visit CNN?

OK. My question is so what? - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
Could you please dial the spite back a notch or two?

Now, I am going to assert here that polls change from day-to-day more often than the wind does. You like polls. Fine. Here's a link for you. I would like to have your opinion on this interesting poll and its analysis.

Polls have changed day-to-day for months... - jlk

[ In Reply To ..]
And the bottom line is that Obama's approval rating has slipped significantly in record time after people have become aware of his policies like taxes on everything with cap and trade and fining people who do not purchase government run health insurance. It's a well-known fact that Canadians come to the U.S. for their healthcare and have told NPs in doctor's offices that they prefer healthcare in the U.S. over Canada. The reasoning behind the decline is common sense. People regret they voted for the guy. FYI, his numbers are not going to get any better and most likely will get worse. 38% disapproval nationally with regard to Obama and healthcare.

Excuse me, but - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
I am still wondering what difference that makes. Things change all the time and poll results can be very misleading. Did you try the link to pollster.com? What did you think of the analysis?

Tired of your strawman arguments - jlk

[ In Reply To ..]
I would not bother with a website such as you have provided that most likely has a liberal slant. Rasmussen is the most credible source for national polling numbers. Gallup comes in a close second. However, the CBS poll was a culmination of all of those numbers and truly reflected the current attitudes of the people. It was reported on MSM (mainstream media) in the last week and a half. Go try your conspiracy theories on someone else. The data provided in the CBS poll is valid and accurate.

Liberal slant? Where do you get that from, out of thin air? - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
You know without even looking that the big bad link is liberal? What a hoot. It's an innocuous nonpartisan graph for heaven sake! It shows democrats and republicans. Go on, take a look. It won't bite.

I cited you a national poll source that is credible - jlk

Hello. I followed your link. - sm

I am waiting for you to return the courtesy so we can talk more about how ratings are not worth a hill of beans when it comes to predicting the outcome of future elections. I promise you, that graph won't bite.

You are wasting your time - jlk

[ In Reply To ..]
I have viewed polls on CNN, MSNBC, and FNC. I will REPEAT again that Rasmussen is the most credible poll nationally, and their results I prefer. Go off and play now.

I agree. - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
You appear to be too hard headed to realize that you can cite polls 'til the cows come home, but they are meaningless in terms of predicting election outcomes, especially in the first year or a four year term.

You may as well go poll yourself. You seem to have all the answers and can't be bothered with the slightest hint of alternative perspectives.

How about this.... - anon

jlk, AZMT, and the other posters who enjoy reading what AZMT and others have to say can continue on. I've been reading "your sides" posts. It sure is a far cry from being "informed".

How about if you don't like the posts just pass them by. No need to write a snippy comment because you don't agree with it. How about an "informed" response.

That's a very strange word to throw around. I know you're going to say he's for the redistribution of wealth bullpuckey. But I've got news for you. He's disappointed MANY dyed-in-the-wool liberals with the straight-down-the-middle work he's done the past year.

Try reading books.. - AZMT

[ In Reply To ..]
"Bullpuckey?" He is doing it; that's a FACT. Just because he doesn't satisfy some of the more radical "progressives" doesn't change the color of the stripes. It is still SOCIALISM by any definition.

The goal of socialism is COMMUNISM. That is stated in THEIR LITERATURE. Read a book sometime.

your own advice before you start trying to address progressives on their own perceptions of a centrist democratic president who has bent over backwards trying to close the gap between the left and right sides of the aisle. You are way too ill prepared to prevail.

Excuse me, but I was asking for a source I could read, so I could make up my own mind about what was said. Do you have one?

Perhaps you could archive the subject on CNN website! - jlk

[ In Reply To ..]
It was written about undoubtedly before the 2008 election on political blogs and mentioned on shows like LKL (Larry King). If you can't find a source with a simple search, you are not trying hard enough! And it's obvious since you were unaware of it beforehand you do not pay attention to candidates and their platforms before elections! A no brainer!

I don't understand why - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
you are getting upset just because I asked you for a source. I pay attention to candidates and platforms before elections and in between. I never heard Obama compare himself to JFK. For all I know, you are making it up. What's up with the no brainer and exclamation point?

Zzzzzzzzz - jlk

Thank you for your help. - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
Plain to see you are only interested in hearing yourself confabulate. You run far and wide away from a simple request for a source to back up your baseless claims. Have a nice nap.

Obama never compared himself to JFK, that was - Dan Quayle. nm

Thanks. I did not think so. It just did not sound - consistent with his character.

[ In Reply To ..]
Admiring, yes. Comparing, I don' think so. The closest thing I ever heard to that was Obama's expressed wish to be a "transformative" leader.

Those of us lucky enough to have caught the coverage and actually watched this morning know he seldom referred to his notes. I feel quite certain he needed little or no help preparing to honor MLK in front of a black congregation. You guys just cannot tolerate it when he rises to an occasion and has a moment to shine, and that it exactly what he did.

I think he aspires to be like MLK, but he is no MLK - -not even close, no substance.nm

Obama has broken one campaign promise after another, now even doing such blatently one-sided stuff like raising cadillac health insurance plans EXCEPT for union members. This guy is a Chicago crook, but he comes out and makes these pretty little speeches, and you have hope. Get real.

Exactly...Obama the typical Chicago crook politican - jlk

[ In Reply To ..]
First there was the breaking of the campaign promise of 'transparency' and televising healthcare talks on CSPAN, then there was the broken promise of 'change' in the WH Administration of bipartisanship, then there was the broken promise of 'unemployment will not rise above 8%' after the failed stimulus package 1 year ago. There is more, but we don't have time. Once Harry Reid is voted out of office in November, Obama's corrupt vision of 'hope and change' will be a distant memory. Cheers!

None of any of this is the slightest bit relative - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
to the MLK speech and only proves a oint made in one of the posts above. This is nothing more than a smoking pile of sour grapes because the congregation and TV audience found his words to be uplifting and inspirational. Deal with it.

Of course the congregation did, but as far as the TV - audience, how the heck do you know?

and DELIVERS A POLITICAL SPEECH????? duh.

Not quite. He honored MLK and made a few comments - as if

[ In Reply To ..]
about his regret that he was not successful in his efforts to bring bipartisanship to Congess, which is directy related to MLK's calls for unity. BTW, MLK delivered some of his best speeches in church, Vermont Avenue Baptist being one of them.

And while we are at it, let us not pretend that this is church is the only Christian church where faith becomes politicized. The difference I see is that Obama's comments were aimed at the concept of unity, whereas others would foster hatred and division in the name of Christianity.

No capitals needed and no DUHs implied.
