I am hearing Obama touting right wing proposals for unemployment similar to Rick Scott of FLA.

I heard a few right leaning things....and several that make Paul Ryan happy. Paul Ryan is the most feared congressional office holder for me.....and if I didn't know any better, I'd think I was watching a right wing president.

Don't attack me, this is how hIS speech makes me feel. It's all laced with stuff I cannot stand. If it's no right leaning, it doesn't really go far enough to the left to help. I'm sick of this shit.

If his speech is your definition of Right Wing, it's simply never going to get better for you.

I am very very unhappy with the eight years and all of the problems are still there. I said it's congress...and maybe an astute democratic board would devote a little more time to where policy is worked, in Congress. My OP is about disappointment, not hate. How dare you.
