Obama refered to “a deficit of trust”. This bogus “jobs created or saved” notion is a big part of that. Throughout the address he spoke of ending practices that Obama has engaged in all year-long. He claimed that he was not interested in “re-litigating the past”, but he also lamented that “before I walked in the door” he was handed trillions of dollars of debt from the previous administration. Just to fill in Mr. Hope and Change, every president inherits the problems of the previous administration. You were elected to fix these problems, not create more of them.
Obama tried to rise above his own political failures with “What frustrates the American people is a Washington where everyday is election day. We can’t be in perpetual campaign mode.” Yet it is Obama himself who has been in perpetual campaign mode. During his first year he has given 411 speeches, 158 interviews, and 23 town halls. He gave 23 speeches on health care alone. He stumped for Corzine, Deeds, and Coakley, praised them supporting his agenda, watched them all lose, and then said that it had nothing to do with him or his agenda.

The speech conveyed just one thing to me: how in over his head BHO is. Pray the nation survives until the next election. I believe, unless we sleep, things will get sorted out then.

was looking for a spot where I could say what I think. Yes, I found it here and so am taking a minute to say, will people please stop trying to “hate” our president? there is no man or woman in this world that can make it all better over night. No man or woman who can clean up the messes of our last elected president. or was he? I am a veteran of the Vietnam era. I carried a weapon and marched alongside my fellow Americans, hoping to keep our country safe. I ask people , if they do not have any respect for the office of President, would you please develop some? I stood with our last president and I stand with this one. please stop trying to say, everyone we elect is a devil of some sort.

as for Missouri Politics, I say once again, please develop some respect for the highest office in our state. one can only hope our state will find itself in a better condition next year. I say too, thank you Mr. Nixon for taking time to travel to Ford motor company and ask them to do business in our state. hopefully that will create jobs.

Jerry his an alleged president my friend, he can not produce a birth certificate and even if he could his father was a British National and his mother was not 18 even if she is an US Citizen. You don’t have a vote till you are 18. Nixon is a fraud as well. They all know what the deal is. They all betray the people and the Constitution. Everyone who sits in the House and Senate need to be arrested if theyDon’t stand up and shout of the treason which happens daily in the corridors of power. I hear no one shouting!
