Don't tell me this man doesn't understand economics.

I now know why he was such a popular teacher. I now can honestly tell you I think I'm starting to understand this "house of cards." Great, great speech.

1. I cant listen to him without thinking of the phrase, "This is no picnic for me either buster!"

Thank you Ann for teaching your son to love to read! I dont think he's a GIFTED brain as much as he has an unquenching desire to want to LEARN.

40 years ago a single mother made her kid get up at 5am to study English.

Yes .... the hand that rocks the cradle certainly can change the world!

2. Agreed. I love when he repeats that story. Here's to Ann....n/t

3. I like his speaking style he sounds intelligent but not pretentious.

He speaks "naturally", dropping Gs on -ing endings and using contractions like "gotta" when he talks.

4. I wish he was doing more action than talking though.

When a basketball coach says Obama should be concentrating on the economy instead of his brackets, it is not good.

5. Hahaha, well that coach would be singing a different tune if POTUS

had picked his team....

6. As always but...

the media lies and tries to pretend as though the President doesn't like to do townhalls and that McCain is the expert at it. The president did townhalls althrough the campaign and I watched a lot of them they also are trying to throw out the garbage about how he uses a teleprompter as though we are suppose to think that he is dumber than Bush and can't speak with a prompter.
