Although I would prefer to listen to fingernails screeching down a chalkboard than to listen to another Obama campaign speech, at least this will make it more bearable...
It will be a long one. The Republican response will be MOST excellent...be sure and watch it. Michelle Bachmann will also have a Tea Party response later.
Did he just tell the oil companies to go fuck themselves?
"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government"

Looks like it. $7.50/gal fuel should fuck up any chance of reelection. Especially when the oil companies come out in October of 2012 and say "a vote for a republican means $1.50/gal gas! Obama reelection means $10/gal, the power is in your hands America"
- Spending freeze
- cut in corporate tax
- end oil subsidies
- clean energy 2035
- 400bln in spending cuts
- middle east/korean/iran peace talks
- Korea trade deal
- colombia/panama trade pacts
Notes so far.
Read an interesting article in the WP this weekend which basically says 2012 is Obama's to lose. If the government does what my notes say above I'd have to say the article is correct. He can lose quite a few of the states in 2008 he won and still have the required electoral votes.
If he hits correctly on the mandated health insurance issue I'd say he'd be a shoe in for another term.
