Madam Speaker, the President of the United States

[Gutenberg]

I thought I would lead off the keynote Presidential speech thread with two of the right wing's favorite people in the headline.

I think he is absolutely right. It is time to haul up our socks and get busy rebuilding. I think we can come out of this stronger if we invest in the right places.

Agreed. National security is huge and always has been understandably. But we need to work on the issues you mentioned. We are also so behind in Science/Math fields, it is a shame.

Peleos looks like she's um . . . stimulated by Big O's speech.

[Gutenberg]

ooo. He's taking on the Pentagon. That's a hard row to hoe!

To rousing, energetic applause.

Do they have all the republicans tied up and gagged in a meat locker somewhere?

[Gutenberg]

No, they were yelling at Obama when he talked about "the deficit we inherit." Crafty old Dempols won't let them sit together though.

[Gutenberg]

I think Obama would have made a wonderful football coach if he hadn't chosen politics. I can't wait to hear his halftime speech.
