I JUST LOVE OBAMA AND MICHELLE.

WOW CANT BELIEVE I WAS FIRST.! I HAVE NO SOCIAL LIFE WHAT SO EVER. L0L

LOVE HIM….

NOT TO SOUND ALL DEROGATORY, BUT HE IS SOOOO SEXY…….

LOL

Great speech. He spoke with a strong voice and seemed quite confident. Loved the speech, but I’m more interested in the results. We’ll see if he can pull this off. It’s going to be hard but he’s got a great team behind him … and a fantastic wife. I love Michelle!

A very good speech indeed. You can surely tell that his heart is focused on the middle-class citizens rightnow. I also like that he continues to remind EVERYONE that this process will not change overnight and it will “slowly” improve. Honestly, I can’t stand that the republicans are just sitting there waiting to find something (even so little) to call him a failure. smh

One of my FAVORITE parts was him bringing the banks to everyone’s attention by notifying everyone that there will be no more personal jets and CEO bonuses (that was funny). A HUGE BROWNIE POINT was letting the banks know that they will be CLOSELY monitered at all times (LUV IT)!!!! I also like that he provides a recovery site so that everyone can view where the funds are going.

I really commend him on his honesty and support that he gives to an average family household.

Way to go Barack!!! : o )

i really love the speech an i also didnt like the fact that they (REPU) was waitin on something to chew him out with ,but you know what.. they dont care what he say…they’re (REPU) againts any thing he say…you why.. because when he was elected ..an the DEM took house.. they made up in there mind that they was goin to give him a hard time ..i dont respect the REPU because all that time bush was in office ..they let most of every dum idea he had pass but now somebody who is actually smart keepin his vow he made to the people alive.. an they want to stop because yall mad because yall dont have house ..an yall cant do what yall want to do???? now yall want to call somebody a hater… now they are some haters ….an then had a nerve to bring out this suppose to be future pres he look an sound like an dummy ..an i wont be votin for him in the future

I actually stood up and clapped when Obama told America’s parents to turn off the television and to read their children a book. Best thing he’s said so far during his presidency.

The only thing I can say to the Louisiana Governor is: Bobby Jindal you are not my (destiny) “Jai Ho!” (Think: Slumdog Millionaire) …

Did anyone catch that Jindal response? Creepy or what?
For a second there, I thought my fingers must have slipped on the remote and changed to Barney & Friends.

Dead @ #8!!!!

I loved Michelle’s outfit, though I think the sleeveless aspect was a bit much for addressing Congress especially at the dead end of February. She was rocking it though. I guess she wants to show those toned arms at every opportunity.

I have to begin by saying that I love the way Michelle Obama dresses..I absolutely love her syle of fashion…I love that she has her own style and rocks it!!!..but there’s a time and occasion for sleeveless and tonight was not it. As first lady, her choice of sleeveless was not appropriate for Capitol Hill…there was not another woman there sleeveless…and I know she does not model herself after anyone else, and I love that about her..but she is the First Lady and had distinguished guest in her box, yet she looked as if she was going to a very informal affair…HIllary Clinton, Dr. Jill Biden, and almost every other woman there were more suited for the occasion than our First Lady. Yes, she has incredible arms, but tonight was not the time to showcase them…we’re not asking for “frumpy”…just dress the occasion…Pres. Obama didn’t wear a white turtle neck with his black suit (which we know wouldve looked good)…she is not only the First Lady, but she represents her husband the President of the United States. I think its been too much hype about her arms and perhaps thats the determining factor when she selects sleeveless. I read that it was her choice to go sleeveless for the cover of Vogue…when her cover for Ebony was much more suitabl

LOL @ 8 Nick…. I watched jindal speak in the begining but ended up dozing off on it cause I knew he wasn’t speaking to me” actually I don’t know who he was speaking to because everybody on CNN and MSNBC talking bout Obama’s speach this morning.Besides who would want to follow up President Obama after that rousing speech he gave. So to have boring jindal follow up with that sesame street speech was quite funny LOL.

The speech was awesome and as far as the governor he is entitled to his opinion,so when he started speaking my tv became cluody….lol you go Obama!!!!

i mean my tv became cloudy… he makes me laugh

I’m hype for Obama…still!
I think thats very telling of where we are as a nation! Everyone is so hopeful that our country will be back at its strength! I think his speech was great. Jindal, hmm… NOT SO MUCH. lol

CO-sign #7 that’s so very important and President Obama let it be known.

I turned it when that bobby dude opened his mouth. Republicans kick rocks!

Loved Michelle’s look, you go girl!

@11 what are you rambling on about, you have written damn near a whole page about her arms and being sleeveless, she could of have a suit jacket on and got a little hote, you know those hot flashes kick in, (lol)……by the way go sit down somwhere. People takes these pictures and blogging so true to the heart, its just entertainment

Where is my stimulus check?????

LOL

After watching Obama’s speech and listening to Bobby Jindal’s rebuttal; Bobby sounded like he was reading a Dr. Seuse’s book or something.

It was hard to watch

SICK AND TIRED OF OBAMA NOW!!! message from: europe

@ # 18 I totally agree. What was the point writing a damn novel about Michelle wearing a sleeveless dress? LMAO

Anyway I think the speech was great and I feel very confident in my President and his administration. My favorite part of the speech was he address the big banks and making sure that they use funds for the people not for a jet or a lavish party.

I thought the speech both optimistic and realistic. He gave it to us real and raw. Michelle looked great (was a little surprised @ the sleeveless but whateva).

@ # 21 Why even come into this blog if you’re so sick and tired of OUR (America) President?

@ # 19 You laughing but you know you’re serious lol!

The President’s address was a very good speech last night. He stated the direction he wanted to take the country in the next couple of years and he was also optimistic. President Obama commanded the audience last night in a great way. It feltt as if he were President for years and not just a month and a half. I can tell he is really going to try his best as President of the USA.

Then on the other hand….Gov. Jindal’s speech was ok if he were talking to third graders or something. It was kind of lame how he tried to compare himself to President Obama…I was like oh no he didn’t. If he’s supposed to be the savior of the Republican party, boy are they in trouble!

Watched it from beginning to end and loved it!!! **SO PROUD OF OUR PRESIDENT**

never in the history of mankind did speeches put food on the table…lol! enough already! i mean seriously doesnt that dude has any back up plan? government money has never recued any economy..ask countries like France and they can tell you…what if this shitmulus doesnt work? does he have a plan b? God i cant wait for november 2010

@19 you dont get a stimulus check… lol

Great Speach

@21 Then why did you click on this post??

Good speech! He is really digging it in to the CEO’s..lol.. I think they got it now. New fresh ideas coming from Obama and Repub’s are scared of change. All of a sudden they had such great ideas about the economy when they sat in those same seats and saw the mess coming just like Bush. I loved how O gave the stim package a face like look these are the people you have neglected for generations time to get your butts of the private jets and hit the streets as politicians are supposed to do for the people!

Anywho, they could have saved all the applause and up/down until the end. He isn’t campaigning anymore let the man speak! lol.. At one point Pelosi clapped before he finished his sentence! Dems in Congress are happy so I guess they can have their moment…lol..

Great speech by Obama! I’m pulling for him to make these ideas come to fruition. As for the republican’s and their bull headed attempt at “getting in touch” with America by putting Bobby Jindal on a pedestal, this statement I found on a political blog says exactly what these idiots are really focused on: “The New Republican Party Slogan: “See?!? We got us a young, uppity colored feller, too!!!” ……I wish these fools, would just step back and really look at the issues at hand, and take the time to really try and create solutions and be apart of those solutions instead of trying to undermine EVERYTHING Pres. Obama says and does. And I am sooooo annoyed that that old fogey John Mccain always has to put his lame unrealistic two cents in whenever he disagrees with Obama on anything, as if to say the American people should have voted for him instead because Obama is not as “experienced” as he is to be president. Well here’s my two cents to him, go kick rocks and get over it!

If Jindal ever becomes President,America is done.People from India like Jindal hate blacks,even though Jindal himself is black,Indians come from Ethiopians,it was Ethiopians who founded and discovered India. That`s who the Indians got their hair from.Today,though most Indians have been brainwashed to think that they are not black and to hate black people.But the blackest people on earth are people from India,they have more black blood in them than African-Americans!

Werk OBAMA!

Hey #21 LALA from Europe, I guess I would be sick of hearing about another country’s president if the country’s issues did not concern me either. For you, he’s just a fad that you are viewing from afar, not the leader of your country, as with us Americans, so if you are sick of him, feel free to discontinue selecting media outlets that discuss him.

All of the evil in this world and all of the problems of America come from the Republican Party.They are racist,anti-God and anti-christian,and they only care about money and rich people.They are nothing but Hitler groupies and stans!

His speech was good and number 21 needs to be quiet.

LOVE THE OBAMAS THEY ARE GREAT. MICHELLE OBAMA FIRST LADY MRS MICHELLE OBAMA IS AWESOME. PRESIDENT OBAMA THE SPEECH WAS GREAT. OKAY HEAR GOES. I KEEP HEARING ABOUT THIS MIDDLE CLASS. DID WE FORGET ABOUT THE POOR NOT EVERYONE IS RICH AND MIDDLE CLASS. THERE ARE STILL POOR PEOPLE. I SEE THEM EVERYDAY SOME ARE HOMELESS SOME ARE NOT BUT THEY ARE STILL POOR. SOME MAYBE OF THERE DOING SOME MAY NOT. THERE ARE SINGLE MOTHERS OUT THERE AND THERE ARE SINGLE FATHERS OUT THERE WHO ARE POOR. DOING THE BEST THAT THEY CAN. DON’T HAVE JOBS. JUST ARE GETTING LOST IN THE SHUFFLE. SOME OF US CAN GO HOME AT NIGHT IN KNOW WHERE THE NEXT PAYCHECK COME FROM AND SOME OF US CANNOT THAT IS NOT MIDDLE CLASS THAT IS POOR. SOME OF US HAVE HAD DOOR AFTER DOOR SLAMMED IN OUR FACE BUT WE KEEP DREAMING THAT ONE DAY IT WILL BE OUR TURN IN WE MAY NOT HAVE THE BEAUTIFUL SMILE., OR GREAT EDUCATION AND STILL TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE ENDS MEET IN FAKE IT FOR OUR CHILDREN IN THE DAY IN CRYING AT NIGHT BUT WE DON’T GIVE UP, THAT IS NOT SOMEONE THAT IS RICH THATS POOR. COME ON PEOPLE WE ARE OR SHOULD BE A PROUD NATION, BUT NOT EVERYONE IS RICH AND MIDDLE CLASS. DON’T BE AFRAID TO SAY IT IT IS A EASY WORD TO SAY AND YOU DON’T NEED TO BE A ROCKET SCIENTIST TO SAY IT LISTEN LETS SAY IT TOGETHER ITS SPELL P O O R. POOR. PLEASE BELIEVE IM NOT MAD OR BITTER. IM CONFUSED. OKAY THE LINE IS OPEN TO ALL THE HATERS. I KNOW ITS COMING.

people are brainwashed by the obama change gimmick he is no different than anyone else in the govt, krsone said it best they just put a black face on it and everyone is mad happy now, a bunch of blind sheep praising this man like hes god…
give him some time in office and watch just how great he is…..
hes just a wolf in sheeps clothes with his own personal agenda, most people are blind when it comes to politics fools
you think you know and have no idea!

4 great speech you joking me everything was so staged and so fake
its sad you people fall for this im amazed by peoples blindness wtf is wrong with everyone

@10……………….I totally agree with you. I love Michelle but I do think it’s time she put on some sleeves. It’s February and he is addressing congress. This was a business occasion not social. I asked my mom, “do you think she is going through early menopause?”. I work around women who are and they have desk fans on in February.

Just a bit of advice #36, NO ONE LIKES TO READ THINGS IN ALL CAPS. If anything, it will do the opposite of your intended effect and make people skip your post all together.

Why do you feel the need to do that?

I wish people would just let Obama do what he intends to do and complain later. Only complaining if it doesn’t work out. I mean, what could Obama do worse that hasn’t already been thought of or done by Bush? I think that Obama is here to legitimatly help those that are helping themselves. (People who work hard and want to own their own, spending every dime to do better) I work hard, I’m not trying to keep up with the Jone’s but I want to live in the community with the Perterson’s. LOL, but serious!

@8

Yes it was creepy, I mean what in the word was he talking about anyway? We were listening and we were like Y does he keep bringing up Katrina? It had nothing to do with what was just said. It sounded like he was trying to earn points.

Anyway It was a great speech Im glad he made it clear that he did not make the mess but he was here to clean it up. I mean honestly the CONS have been acting like children. You help put your country in this position but wont lift a finger to move forward. With all the criticism have not offered any plan. Which brings me back to Jindal, Lowering taxes will not create jobs….

obama won cause the people in power let him win for obvious reasons they control everything dont be fooled.
if they wanted mccain to win he would have won
this is all staged youll see in about 2 years watch
be prepared dont be a sheep things are going to get much worse not better,

@YOMAMA

Well, they didn’t waste time to let him lead and keep the lead. If it had something to do with people with power, I don’t think they were the only factor. I’m from Washington State and have never seen so many lawn advertisements for voting for Obama. A lot of people really did vote for him. Out of 20 people you know how many voted for Obama? If you can honestly say none voted then they were the only ones that voted for McCain. But the future lies ahead and will tell who exactly were fooled. Keep your fingers crossed and click your heals 3 times.

Is that all you have to say #40. Can you at least read or understand the message. If not I’ll make it small for you or maybe sign language will help you. LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m really hopeful about the economy. I am always so inspired when our president speaks

@ #45
#40 offered you some good advice. I skipped right over your post too. And usually, posts in caps tend to be obnoxious anyway. So as soon as I see that, I already know what to expect and skip right over.

Speeches are no more than just words and no action….blah, blah, blah, blah, blah!

… ‘I have a dream’-just words? ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal’-just words? ‘We have nothing to fear but fear itself.’ Just words? Lol, I’ve listened to too many Obama speeches!

Anyway, speeches are more than just words. During the Great Depression when the U.S. economy had sunk to its lowest point, over 13 million Americans were unemployed, businesses suffered a $6 billion lost, people lost their savings, their homes and farms. Then some guy named Franklin D Roosevelt came along. He addressed the issues of the depression to the country and promised a ‘new deal’, which won him the Democratic Presidential nomination. Then President. In his first inaugural speech, Roosevelt tried to calm the fear of Americans, “let me assert my belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself”. Does this story sound familiar?

My point is, whether the President does what he preached about or not, his speeches are very necessary in a time of crisis. Speeches are needed to uplift the country and regain faith in the federal government. If the President doesn’t soothe us, then everyone will continue to panic. Further more, Roosevelt gave speeches, Martin Luther King Jr. gave speeches, and Abraham Lincoln gave speeches, all of them did. But didn’t Roosevelt help the country recover from the Depression? Did MLK Jr. not help us get to where we’re no longer segregated? Are we not still a United States of America (Civil War)? And I don’t recall any of this shit happening overnight either.

…So, ‘I have a dream’-just words? ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal’-just words? ‘We have nothing to fear but fear itself.’ Just words?

If you read this, thanks for baring with my long post!

Seeing the Obama’s makes me feel so happy inside and out, they just have that charisma(might spelled that wrong) together. President Obama is always smiling and so is Michele, they’re genuine smiles, not phony. If black folks would have came together a long time ago, we would have had a black president by now. Not meaning no bshit Jessie Jackson or Al Sharpton. Only time those 2 clowns come out is when they see $ signs. Black man know how to put his foot down,lmao and that’s exactly what our President is doing!!!! Thank you for helping me, us, all of America Mr.President, we needed someone like you and God knew exactly who to put in that seat.

FIrst, President Obama’s speech was great. Even though I feel that President Obama has yet to show “real change” in Washington, and am willing to give him a chance to do so. He said things that I do think needed to be said.

But on another topic is it just me or did Joe Biden look like he had enough of the standing and clapping at the end of every line (it seems). He gave Nanci Pelosi that
b!%@H if you get up one more time look! LMAO!!!

clears throat….that was a great speech though!

did any of you know that obama and bush are from the same blood line
yea sounds crazy but look it up if you dont believe me there were only 2 presidents who werent from the same bloodline lincoln and kennedy and they were both assasinated
what does that tell you.
the govt is more like a cult
everything is not always what it seems to be

obama and bush are from the same blood line

Great speech!

OK, now the gossip. Michelle Obama looks great and some people are going to complain about her appearance no matter what she does. I mean, the day after the election I was talking with my mom and she was all “I didn’t like her dress and her hair was fine but did you see her hair two days ago, why doesn’t she cut her hair like Condoleeza or have a nice short Afro?” I mean, complaining about how her hair looked days earlier than the event?! I was all “Mom, picking on other people’s looks doesn’t make me feel better about my own, I already told you that!” Though if Mrs. Obama does opt for an Afro later I bet she’d look great with that too.

“Hey #21 LALA from Europe, I guess I would be sick of hearing about another country’s president if the country’s issues did not concern me either. For you, he’s just a fad that you are viewing from afar, not the leader of your country, as with us Americans, so if you are sick of him, feel free to discontinue selecting media outlets that discuss him.”

Once I went to Australia and you would not believe how much the Australian media outlets (even before the internet was big!) covered America. Maybe European newspapers and TV do the same? http://news.bbc.co.uk/ ’s international news portal covers the world kinda evenly, but it still has a lot on America!

“Seeing the Obama’s makes me feel so happy inside and out, they just have that charisma(might spelled that wrong) together.”

You spelled it right

Thank you Anonymous! Look doubters (Pete and Yomama), Pres. Obama has only been in office for 2, count ‘em, 2 months. Give him a break! We didn’t get into this mess in only 2 months, so it’s gonna take more than 2 months to get out of this mess. Who wants a leader who’s all doom and gloom? We want someone who is going to tell it to us straight: it’s bad now, and will probably get even worse, but we will get out of this. We want a leader who aspires us to do great things and who is intelligent and surrounds himself with people who will get the job done, because he can’t do it alone. I swear, some people just feed off negativity.

As for Lala, get a life and since our President bothers you so much, focus on your own leader, who ever that may be.
