Obama said tonight the American People find all this BS offensive. and he is right.
I thought his speech was adult and even respectful of Speaker JB, but then when JB came out with his address, I found him snarky from the get go. I mean he may as well have come out and said "fuck you" fuck you America and fuck you Obama.
Obama seemed to have a framework that, as he said shared the grief (which is still an insane concept considering the wealth distribution in this country) and dig us out, and JB really just seemed to be saying...ahhh sorry, the rich don't want to contribute even after they huge economic crash they created, so again, fuck you all, we'd prefer to keep our money...
I don't know what to think but that's how it came off to me.
this is the worst shit storm overall I can remember seeing a President have to deal with. the wars, the overall global unrest, massive oil spills, storms, earthquakes and he's still holding it all together. add to that he got bin laden, the giant McGuffin of the 911 saga.
so to me the repugs still look like the guys that destroyed our economy, perpetrated horrendous pointless wars and now want to drive our economy off a cliff, with the rest of the global economy chained to it.
