Austin,Obama's inauguration speech said what he's has been saying all along and there hasn't been any 'new' content in anyone's declamation since the economy tanked during the election. I for one am tired of political rhetoric regardless of party at this point. I'm with you - I say lets all be really quiet so we can hear 'em do something.
Lest you forget I wrote a few days back that I had heard his speech several times and the inauguration speech would be more of the same.
I previously wrote: New face, most likely, but not everything Bush did was bad.The ability and experience to get things done is more important to me. I have grave concerns that the new president has the skills and experience to fix our problems. I say that because he only has one speech which I no longer listen to. It's easy, and very appealing to roll out a list of problems and say they should be fixed.
We will hear much the same speech tomorrow: 1. List of problems 2. We have to have change and change will fix themMaybe if he had some different speeches maybe I would have greater confidence in him.
(Of course he will now have to talk without a TelePrompTer) DAW
