How Obama knows he won

Well, among other things this:

FOX NEWS calling him out for the auto bailouts, saying, well actually those were begun under Bush, Obama just followed through on Bush's plan.

LOL...Say what? The auto bailouts were a pariah on the Right for 3 years and they attempted to hang it around the neck of the President, only they worked very well and Obama deserves all the credit for continuing them when Bush was ready to pull the plug on them all together. Bush gets some credit for starting them, but without Obama's resolve the auto industry would have perished. But, regardless, how in the Hell does FOX get off saying anything about the Auto Bailouts that they railed against every single day for 2 years? That's it? That's their criticism? Amazing.

That is either one amazing feat getting that sort of action done before taking office, or FUX news has had it wrong for the last three years.


As usual the pukes want it both ways.

He gave a solid and very factual speech that has Republicans scrambling and reevaluating their options even as we sit here tonight.

I would say game changer, but the game has already been changed, this was just a slap in the face of any and all Republicans across the country that Obama is a strong President who will be very very tough to beat on November. You could see it written across the faces of the Republicans in the crowd, a big collective , "UH OH!!!, wow, we really overplayed our hand horribly."
