President Obama's Weekly Address



I hope that he's eventually able to do something about these crazy gas prices. I know that he has a chance to replace someone on some committee that's supposed to regulate Wall Street in June or July so maybe that'll help. Although if he went to Congress and told him what he wants done about it and they need to do something about it could improve his standard in the eyes of the American people.

And the newest mass status going around Facebook is really irritating me:
"Gas is to jump up 5$/gallon by Memorial Day. Obama said to "Get used to it" and "Trade your car in for an energy efficient car." With unemployment above 10% in many states, can YOU afford a trade-in? Re-post if you want Obama to get used to being a one-term President.

Really now? Somehow Bush deserved another term but Obama doesn't? He was handed a load of crap when he came into office and you have the GOP being how they're being how is he supposed to do anything without them twisting everything. And I remember Obama saying that he knows the American people are hurting from the high gas and he's looking into it, not saying "Get used to it." And he actually stood up for the poor, the elderly and the less fortunate a couple of weeks ago and it seems everyone's forgotten this already.

I love that "handed a load of crap" phrase. Perfect.

Yeah it is. I'm starting to think he needs to invest in a manure spreader :]
