★ On The Speech

I've got a hold of a full copy of the text. Here are a few excerpts. ***


Aren't we all one illness away from disaster, regardless of age, financial security, and any other outside factors?



Obama is operating under the false assumption that it is the government's responsibility to monitor and protect citizens financial situations, and never questions the reasons why people slide into poverty, nor does he ask them to take any responsibility in the situation.



Obama fundamentally doesn't understand the way businesses work. He just assumes that they are all run by deceivers.



Obama's own advisers have already said that he can't pull this off without raising taxes on the middle class - something he's pledged not to do.




First part is nice, but just recycles what he said four years ago. The second is whiny and defensive, something that a high school student would say if he was trying to get testy with a rival - if this were the 1950s.


Does not mention MLK by name, but CLOSES HIS SPEECH WITH HIS WORDS! "We cannot walk alone [...] And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back."


He'll deliver it well, and the media will eat it up. He's more negative than I thought. He plays the class warfare card repeatedly. And there is no memorable line, no one things that sums up the speech. There is no "New Frontier," no "Rendezvous with Destiny," nothing. The content of this speech will be forgotten by Monday.
