Disappointed with the Speech
| Tue, 01-20-2009 - 12:53pm |
I was actually a little bit excited about the inauguration ceremony today and anxious to hear our new president's speech. It could have been so good. It could have been inspiring. Instead I thought it was a downer. It seemed like President Obama is still in "campaign mode". He needs a new speech writer. President Clinton would have understood that the nation, so excited by this historic day, would want to hear an inspirational speech on a day like this. I think he blew a once in a lifetime opportunity. I am a little sad instead of excited after hearing it.

Almost every US president has been tested, including seriously testing the one who just vacated the Whitehouse (woohoo ;o)....What makes you think that this time would be any different?
No attacks on US soil under almost every other president in US history either....Guess y'all can thank THEM too.
It must be the kool-aid.
While most polls show that voters believe John McCain is running a more negative campaign than Barack Obama, a new count out today suggests they are running nearly equal numbers of negative TV ads in local markets.

Despite perceptions that Sen. John McCain has spent more time on the attack, Sen. Barack Obama aired more negative advertising last week than did the Arizona Republican, says a study released yesterday.

Despite finger-pointing from both sides, Barack Obama and John McCain’s presidential campaigns have run almost the same number of negative local campaign ads, Nielsen Monitor-Plus reported Thursday.

77% of the Obama campaigns' ads were deemed "negative," compared to 56% for McCain.
