Every morning I turn on the news and suddenly I have to listen to Obama giving another speech. Does he never stop talking - it really is starting to sound like verbal diahrea. And I have yet to hear him address Afghanistan, which has just receive a huge influx of troops, or Iraq.

The only accomplishment the man has is giving speeches. It's all he can do. So, since he's screwing up everything he touches, he has decided that the only way to get people to not notice it is to go back out and stir up the disciples with more flowery words that say nothing.

Least he's communicating in some capacity. That was a beef I had with Bush; yeah everybody loves a Man of Action but I wanted him to explain things more. I think that really would have helped his public image, too.

HOLY CARP!!!
and it never hurts if the media isn't out to play gotcha - yet.

As much as I don't agree with many of Obama's principles, it will be sad to see the media eventually turn on him like an attack dog. It's in their nature.

Jack Bauer never explains. Capt. Kirk never explains. Admiral Odama never explains. Steve Jobs doesn't explain. They are/were all men of action.

My day is full enough, I don't have time to listen to continuous explanations (plus I have ADD). Give me an executive summary once a week, thanks. Thus far all I've concluded is that Obama can't handle more than one thing at a time.

Jack Bauer never explains.
Sure he does. "Tell me what I want to know, or I'll cut off another finger!"
Concise, but it is communicative.

The founding of the bulk of the world's nation states post 1914 is based on self-defined nationalisms. The bulk of those national movements involve territory that was ethnically mixed. The foundation of many of those nation states involved population movements in the aftermath. When the only one that is repeatedly held up as unjust and unjustifiable is the Zionist project, the term anti-semitism may very well be appropriate. - P*D

Pretty sure that extrapolating opinions on a presidency solely on the frequency of his speeches would be a bad move.

I don't listen to all the stuff he says either but I prefer a surplus of information over a quiet administration.

Kirk never explained, you're right. But Piccard sure did. Way too much.
