A lot more talking? I agree.

I find Obama a much better speaker when he isn't speaking ABOUT anything in particular. As long as he isn't trying to actually make a point, just sort of trying to be "generally inspirational and presidential", it's not bad. It's when he has a concrete purpose and is trying to express it. He rambles and does the "generally inspirational" thing instead of just saying whatever the heck it is he's trying to say.

Why do I have the feeling that I'm surrounded by Republicans?

I have no idea. I am a Libertarian, and DSTRen13's comment is more about rhetorical style than any political critique. I've heard liberal (don't know that I'd term them Democrats) commentators remark that some of Obama's speeches were lacking in concrete details. But of course, he is hardly the only politician on either side of the aisle to have that problem.

Because you subscribe to political divisiveness.

He's the only current president. As with presidents before him, there should be no obvious disclaimers of "well, the president isn't perfect" or "he isn't the only politician with this issue."

Luckily for everyone, Obama's approval ratings are declining as reality has sunk in and the public is taking off the kiddie gloves. That happened before the first 5 months for some of the other presidents.

Why would that matter at all? Several other posters have made the point that no matter what anyone's political affiliation, it's a valid criticism.

Stop trying to cause drama or partisanship on this board.

How about you respond to the substance of our posts instead of playing the guessing game and trying to decide if you consider us among the cool people.
