President Obama’s speech in Oklahoma
Here is the speech by President Obama in Oklahoma:
Here is Robert Reich’s more optimistic analysis of a speech that lays out issues.
Relevant and even prescient commentary on news, politics and the economy.
Rdan,
Your flipping out again. This speech will be forgotten by Friday. Just like all the rest. No one beleives a word of what he says anymore.
But here’s an analysis of his speech in Texas, oops, Kansas:

Remember how one of the regulars, can’t remember who, was all impressed with some speech Obama made this time last year and how it transform the US and the world? yea, I don’t remember a word Obama said either, and neither does anyone else.
Obama’s only hope is that the Reps self-destruct (usually a decent bet I concede) or the economy suddenly gets wildly better – not just improving becuase another 300K dropped out of the denominator.

Being the proud spawn of real Oklahoma Sooners, that certainly looks like a Kansas flag to me.
That’s Sooner as in cowboy, not football players.
Obama is all style and very little substance, otherwise Geithner and Holder would be unemployed, and the whole Chicago advisory clique would have been fired.
I am not flipping out…that’s why I put up Yves first, but then decided AB also usually likes to include the original link as well. Reich is confusing to me. I thought it was a trial baloon for one strategy.
I found the daily caller piece a nice rant but hardly accurate nor illuminating from a business point of view. It makes a nice campaign speech as well. But it is true the story one constructs to explain what drives the universe or international trade determines one’s actions, accurate or not.
Too bad Reich was being an idiot and Obama’s a liar and a thief.
Oh, harsh.
rusty
not harsh enough.
all politicians are liars. that’s their job. but some iies are harmful in that they encourage people to behave badly. and some lies are harmful in that they encourage people to trust you when you are planning to do them harm.
similarly, small scale theft, especially in high places, is pretty much how the world works, but large scale theft… as in destroying the right of the people to save their own money for their own retirement in a way that is safe from inflatioin and market losses… that is theft on a scale that cannot be forgiven.
str,
In teh Kansas speech he said something to the effect he was glad to be in Texas.
Obviously a minor error, but considering the breathless announcement of every R candidates mis-speaking I had to put it in.
