I only read about it but from what I can gather, is he laid it out there and basically said, "Look, this ain't going to be easy. We are fucked right
now so get off your asses."

I do not envy his position. He came into office with a fucked up economy. The difficulty for him is people have such high hopes for Obama, and as
hard as he might try, he can't fix everything. Many people seem to think he's some kind of saviour that's going to come in and fix the whole country
with a wave of his hand, while in reality it's going to take years.

Hey, he either fixes shit and comes out a hero, or he doesn't and still is a hero.

Obama is a master of the speech, but I still ain't convinced that he is nothing but just that. Slick Willy could charm your pants off but he was as
crooked as they come. “That’s why today, I’m pledging to cut the deficit we inherited by half by the end of my first term in office.” He knows he's
already got it locked down for 2012, gonna shuck and jive the people for a solid 8.

Socialism is a slippery slope that leads to unimaginable abuses of power if not kept in check. You think our Government is corrupt now? If things went
that way it would get ALOT worse. I am in no way some 50's throwback McCarthy Commie scare type. I actually hope the President lifts the Cuban
sanctions and gets past all that old bullshit. I just don't like the idea of socialism when it is run by man. As a theory it is perfect. When executed
historically.........eh........not so much.

If our economic system was balanced, between capitalist and nationalized enterprises. I could get behind socialized health care, power and water, and
even to a limited extent the big 3 auto cartels. But financial institutions, consumer products, and especially information and communication services
should never be touched.
My biggest beef with Obama is his ideas for a civilian defense force:
"We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national
security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."- Straight from the horses mouth.
This is a scary idea, I don't like compare to modern day politics to that of the National Socialist party, as it seems like all to often people just
blurt out someone is a Nazi because of differing views. The idea of a well armed and funded civilian security force is much to close to the Brown
Shirts of Hitlers early rise to power.
Besides the abuses that are possible domestically with a civilian defense force, it seems like it would allow for easier abuse of the military on the
international stage for promoting economical and political agendas of big business. I don't think it is that far fetched of an idea that lobbyists
would be more inclined to push for the misuse of the military for profit if another entity was assuming the primary responsibility of the military
which is national safety.

Its been working okay for us, sure it's not perfect, but I figure its better than most got right now.
Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where
cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?

That website is awesome. I usually try to get both sides of the story, but all the info I could find on Obama's statements were negative. Thanks BD.

i hear ya, barcode.
same for me when i first started searching for that quote you posted.
it seems like there are SO many online media outlets either 1) pushing an agenda or 2) striving for attention (read: ad impressions) that it's
increasingly difficult to find reliable sources.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.
