What did you think of the substance? For example, what do you think of the Bush tax cuts expiring?

I read the transcript of the speech; don't have the time to listen for 30 minutes.

I voted for the Obama. He's been a massive disappointment.

1. The value of the health care act is negligible. Look he could have gotten anything passed last year, including several components of HC that actually would have slowed the growth of cost. But he was too much of a coward.

2. Ain't noone serious about chaqnging medicare drastically. Increasing cost sharing for beneficiaries is probably appropriate.

The Dems are gunna run on the "GOP wants to take away your Medicare" now. You heard that I'm sure.

3. Obama's time to change taxes has passed. It is now re-election time.

Only the most far-left are happy with Obama and willing to defend him like you.

The rest of us see him for what he is; a pretty smart and lucky guy who has a great political machine but who is an absolute coward as a sitting president.

Too bad.

Really wish folks would get a grip and quit with the GOP soundbites, President Obama is middle of the road not far left....I'm what folks call far left and I'm not one bit happy with his pandering to the right!!

Should have read, 'Only Riot of the far left is happy with Obama.'

That doesn't make that much sense, because Riot isn't exactly "far left."

You point to her as that because she often agrees with Obama, but the problem with that equation is that Obama isn't (and hasn't been) governing in a "far left" style in just about any way.

Ya know, considering that the real "far left" is pretty sick and tired of him and think he's an enormous failure as far as being progressive, or "far left," actually goes.

The true "far left" probably only hates him (edited to point out that in this case, the far left "hates him" = hates his administration, not actually him like you do) about 15% less than you do, but for completely different reasons.
