3. Did he just recite those "Headlines!" from memory?
Surely there's a teleprompter there that I'm not seeing.

7. Stock market up initially, now it's tanking.
Edited on Thu Sep-03-09 09:26 AM by Lasher
Hope it doesn't react like it did every time Junior spoke about the economy.

Edit: Ha ha, just took a slap at Palin. Sez he talked to every Governor but one, now she's an ex-Governor. Said Palin was too busy or something like that to take his calls.

12. S&P 500 is down about 40 points in the past 5 days.
Looks like a good time to buy.

13. You are correct, 'tanking' was not an appropriate characterization.
Edited on Thu Sep-03-09 09:36 AM by Lasher
In fact, the S&P is down just 0.02% right now and gaining.

I was reacting to initial gains that disappeared just after 10AM eastern time.

Edit: Ha ha, told ya. Back to positive territory now.

11. He's spoken to EVERY Governor regularly..... except ONE....
.... who is now a FORMER Gov.

He defends her saying she had planned to but it never worked out, but that is a very telling comment.

16. Very inspirational stuff
All of these ideas have been ignored for way too long.

For the first time in my life I feel good about where our country is headed.

17. Favorite part was when he talked about factories that "used to be" something
are now turning into something else...it gives me some hope. Also, the part about Sarah Palin was funny.

18. He ended with healthcare...he said that on Wed. the Prez will
clearly lay out exactly what he wants. There will be a lot of 'screaming and crying', but they are going to get what they want.

He was vague because he said he didn't want to 'step on his boss's lines", LOL.
