1. Yeah. Another nice speech.
More empty promises from a president who had a chance to change the course of history and blew it.

NOT cut more bad deals.

5. Bush tax cut extension in Dec.
I didn't say he had given in... yet. I hope he doesn't. I am just pointing his prior statement out.

6. Your OP implies otherwise.
He hasn't given in on anything. Unrec.

7. Really?
The tax cuts for the rich, and the public option are the first two things that come to mind, and there is certainly more.

I know you don't like the truth, but nevertheless, it is the truth.

Somebody scared that it might become true?

23. 'The president's going to cave'
Just said by Henry Waxman after speaking to Republicans who met with the president. They have told Waxman that the 'president is going to cave'.

Waxman is now asking him to come out and tell his party if this is true or not as they need to know what they are dealing with.

We are awaiting his response to Waxman.

14. Reagan had signs of Alzheimer's while in office.
Could this be a memory issue where things said have been forgotten?

15. Why should we believe him?
I'll wait and see what he does because it really doesn't matter what he says.
