The crust of frozen snow was pretty hard this a.m. so I decided to stay in with a hot toddy and watch this new guy talk, or read from his special made podium with the built-in teleprompter which he hasn't mastered yet; shades of W in there when it either got ahead or behind him. I realize he wants to look like Bill and Hillary who can memorize a speech before they give it but to try to fake it shows your a fake. Especially when you have to read the name of the next reporter you are going to call on with the pre-assigned question - W all over again.
I am old, and I may have forgotten, but does anyone out there remember a future president running around with a sign saying "Office of the President Elect" on his butt everywhere he goes?
For every action there is a reaction and I think that is coming true for BO. This was the guy who promised you all who voted for him that taxes for the rich will be back with a passion and taxes for the middle class was going away. I didn't get that from his speech today, it seems now that it may be a good idea to leave the rich tax free and leave the middle class paying. You don't think all those rich people that gave him all that money for his campaign also gave him a tight pair of shoes as a gift for winning the nomination do you?? Reality hurts.
Give him time, I watched chameleon's change color before and some colors take more time to achive than others, he will soon be back to hypnotizing you all so you hear what you want to hear and not the fact that he really isn't saying anything.
I hear him referred to as "cool" and also "smooth." Well, it is 25 degrees outside, "that's cool;" when the lake freezes enough to skate on "that's smooth" - both are "cold"!
