why won't Obama stop talking?

how many speeches and town halls on the exact same subject do we really need? we get it, you want your trillion dollars already. it's going to pass today, relax.
 
The guy is an empty suit.. just like he has been during his time in Illinois.. no leadership at all. He's still campaigning. YOU WON Barack.. Stop the campaign and start LEADING.
 
5% infrastructure, 95% consumption, 0% factories to create exportable products and service our debt. Epic fail, perpetually borrowing money to consume does not grow the economy, just the deficit and our growing inability of our children to service it with something more than a printing press.
 
Ok OK, point taken, unlike ole silent Calvin Coolidge, no one will ever call him silent Barack Obama.

And just three weeks into at least a four year term, we can already see lucky Loki8481, is not going to have the decency to suffer in silence either. Three weeks down, another 205 weeks to go. Maybe you can find solace in a backward Obama watch when they become available.

Leadership: the art of motivating a group of people to act towards achieving a common goal.

Isn't that exactly what he's doing? Motivating the people to get Congress to enact his plan?

 
Exactly this will be an epic fail because it does nothing to address production and competitiveness.

We have fundamental problems like too many deadbeats, too many fools, too many shysters (controlling K street and Banks) which are all social ills throwing money at does nothing to fix. Makes it worse actually because when we do get 'back to the basics' guys like Paul Craig Roberts talk about, basics that made USA #1 creditor and producer, we will have less to do it with being straddled with enormous crippling debt.

House Democrats went ahead and passed somebody else's plan.

How about leading by coming up with or working on a plan that will actually do some good and not trying to blow sunshine up everyone's ass (and spend a lot of money doing it).
 
If that is the sign of change, then I hope he talks a lot more. I think maybe because people are listening and I enjoy a president that wants to talk then keep everyone in the dark feeding them BS. Maybe you've enjoyed being treated like a mushroom for the last 8 years. I haven't.

So because you disagree with the plan, which you have every right to do, he is in fact not a leader even though 68% of American's support his plan? (and getting 68% of Americans to agree on much of anything these days is not an easy task)
 
He's a campaigner, he knows how to rile up a crowd and he knows that for most people words mean more than actions. that's what he does best.

Why should he, did you or many other posters suffer in silence through GWB's tenure?

Just can't please some people. Many have called for him to get up and explain to America why he wanted this package. And he did that, but like I said some people just cannot be pleased.

Suffer is the right word and we are still suffering from his 8 years at the helm. Obama inherited this mess from that beautiful being and hir Republican stooges. Like Obama stated last night these Republican douchebags have zero credibility.

Talking is a lot easier than walking. He's no Reagan.
I know, Obama has all his mental facilities.

Except the ones that shift from campaign mode to governing mode.
If he has problems switching modes you and him are more alike than you are willing to admit.

Who the hell wanted to hear bush speak? Every time he did, it was an embarrassment to the nation. It's a joy to hear someone speak that can actually speak in complete sentences.
 
Yep, he should learn to never continue to speak when prime time shows like Heroes or 24 are supposed to begin. There are a bunch of pissed off people today because their PVRs missed the last two minutes of these shows because they started a couple of minutes late because Obama doesn't know when to STFU.
 
I'd like him to talk about where his stimulus package went. You know... the one he was campaigning on and promising... One that is about 1/5th the size of this one... But no, we get him flapping his gums like he's still campaigning. Hell, he keeps whinng about Bush. That's not leading - it's campaigning. Wake up BHO- remember... you "won" so start leading instead of playing cheerleader and apologist for your puppet masters pelosireid.
