    Contrary to the BS some people are feeding you with a shovel here, he didn't give us rhetoric. He reinforced his resolution to bring change, and brought up some of the changes he has already made in the first few months.

    The "April" thing you heard was that middle class families will see decreased taxes in their paychecks (thereby meaning somewhat larger paychecks) starting on April 1st.

    You can read the full manuscript of the conference here:

    FYI, most people who are anti-Obama are either A) hardcore religious nuts with no other justification other than their deep-seated fears and illogical ideology, B) hardcore Republican nuts with no other justification other than that they were raised to believe people like Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter and Bill O'Reilly are comparable to angels, and George Bush and his daddy are comparable to God, and C) hardcore racist nuts who have not other justification other than their own ignorance and insecurity-fueled hate.

    If anyone in one or more of these catagories hate Obama's policies so much, please feel free to show it by sending your extra paycheck money you'll be getting (starting in April) to my PayPal account. That will prove how terribly wrong I must be, and how righteous the Obama-haters really are. ;]

    I think what our leader Pres. Barack Obama meant was we will all be rolling in money or broke depending on the passage of the budget. He did say and not a dry eye was present that the homeless children bothered him and policeman, fireman and our fighting men and women will not be one of them.

    Full transcript can be found on yahoo buzz.

    Anyway you didn't miss much. He was all over the place, vague with answers and kept side stepping questions by using the same buzz words--health care, education and energy-even when they didn't fit the question.

    What was really interesting was when he was called out for increasing the debt and sisdestepped this question by blaming someone else.

    You can find it on most of the network or news sites...

    Trust me -

    You really didn't miss anything.

    It's more of the same... Let's spend money we don't have on project that don't benefit America, just the people he's gaining favor with.

    It's as simple as that...

    RUIN the PLANET for future generations? BAD

    RUIN the ECONOMY for future generations? NO PROBLEM... Just so long as a socialist agenda is established.

    I was watching RuPaul's Drag Race, so I missed the speech too.

    Wow... I can't believe you missed it!

    He talked about you for almost half an hour and then some stuff about the economy at the end.

    You didn't miss much. Same old same old. Nothing new. And his explanation of his "politices" was confusing and as I said, nothing new. I hope your headache is better. I get migraines so I can sympathize with you. After his press conference last night, I felt one coming on!
