So Obama is going to give an address from the Oval Office this evening. Question, will Obama's approval numbers rise or fall in the days following tonight's address?

I say fall.

I agree.

And nowhere in his speech will he mention victory or mission accomplished. I'm guessing he will blame Bush or the last administration at least 12 times in the speech.

he's suckin' up. has to. gives Bush a salute so you know it pure bull shit


President Obama praised President Bush's commitment to U.S. troops Tuesday as he announced a close to combat operations in Iraq that Obama said cost America a "huge price."

If he were doing his part to create jobs, it wouldn't matter.

Not face-palm!!

So - it's like this...

BUSH was so wonderfully powerful, Obama cannot yet FIX what "Bush" did to the economy (nevermind Obama and his fellow congressmen voted to DO all that shit)....Yet...OBAMA is so wonderfully perfect it's HIS leadership which has lead to 'success' in Iraq (nevermind Obama did NOT support the policies now in effect).

He's a loser.

More disturbing is that Obama again telegraphs US strategy to the enemy. I am sure the Taliban was elated when they heard that regardless of what happens, US troops will be leaving starting next summer. I bet the Taliban loves Obama's message of "hope and change"!

Government doesn't create jobs. They can only lessen the burden on the private sector by lowering taxes so that they can create jobs.

Obama can't do that. He's a control freak.

Isn't this like saying "Mission Accomplished"?

The fact that you seem to believe I'm some kind of Obama-dittohead is reason enough for the face palm.

Finally saw the whole speech on the world service, not wonderfully written IMO, tried to tie three threads together that didn't quiet fit.

Anyways, how did the poll ratings go afterwards? Mini bounce I'd expect.

Not much, if any.
