The story: Whatever the problems facing the U.S., President Obama promised in the first prime-time speech of his term, “We will rebuild, we will recover and the United States of America will emerge stronger than before.”
Your take: He preached to the choir, but the president couldn’t convert the unbelievers in the Citizen’s online community. Some representative comments:
• “Those who are still complaining about the plan are in the minority. . . . His popularity is growing. . . . Change has come to America.” rubysky
• “America is going to have to pay for frat boy Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld’s giveaway to their business buddies for at least the next decade.” cheesemonkey
• “Quite an orator. Now lets see if he can walk the talk.” mustberight
• Pretty long on good intentions, pretty short on details of how they are to be achieved. At least he cut back on the whining.” 6565
• “(Louisiana Gov.) Bobby Jindal/(Alaska Gov.) Sarah Palin 2012. They will stomp out liberalism and send (it) packing to Mexico or Europe.” specdom
• “Oh, thank you, thank you, Lord Obama. Without your words we could not make it through the day. Please, please save us from the evils of the world. We have fallen . . . you must help us get up.” 1967
