re-connecting to. I expect as in 2008, it's just a speech, he loves the status quo, wars, austerity, poverty, and lobbyist contributions the same today as he has shown us he does from 2009-present.

A speech isn't enough to me to have even an ounce of faith in his willingness or ability to follow through or actually get anything worthwhile accomplished. Always 1/4-ass (nope won't even give him half-ass) solutions that need 110% solutions.
