FLASHBACK: Media Gushed Over Obama’s First Address to Congress
“It was his debut and he wowed us. That’s the running headline from last night’s presidential address to the Congress.”
— MSNBC’s Chris Matthews opening Hardball, February 25, 2009.
“But our president seems remarkably unruffled by all of this, serene in an inner confidence that he’s got what it takes to lead this country back into the sunlight...
It was quite a performance....It occurred to me watching the president last night, Wolf, that he was born to do exactly what he was doing.
He had that place in the palm of his hand for the entire time he was in that room, and that can be a tough audience, a tough room to work.”
— Host Jack Cafferty on CNN’s The Situation Room, February 25, 2009.
“This was the most ambitious President we’ve heard in this chamber in decades.
The first half of the speech was FDR, fighting for the New Deal. The second half was Lyndon Johnson fighting for the Great Society, and we’ve never seen those two presidents rolled together in quite this way before....’
I think we’re watching one of the greatest political dramas of our time.”
— Senior political analyst David Gergen on CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360, February 24, 2009.
“This was actually a fireside chat. This is what I found so fascinating.
From the very first sentence he basically said to the Congress ‘I’m not talking to you, I’m talking to the people who sent us here.’ And it reminded me, in some sense, of the radio speeches FDR gave where he talked about complicated issues in simple ways.
Obama tried to explain how he got into this mess, why will my program make it better. Very intensely personal in the sense of talking to people at home watching one or two at a time in front of their TVs.”
— Correspondent Jeff Greenfield during CBS’s live coverage of Obama speech, February 24, 2009.

Haven't watched one in a while. Not interested in watching this one either.
I'll judge him by his actions and accomplishments (or lack thereof).

Hmmm. Watch Trump or watch OSU v. ISU?
Just kidding.

After seeing that out of bounds play at the end, I wish I had chosen the speech.
DJT quite clearly labeled CNN "fake news". I'm just agreeing with him.
It's interesting that CNN Polls are dismissed as fake news or biased and cited favorably solely on whether they agree with the results.
So proper response to me is.....
"Polls".
He is certainly free to continue spamming.
I am certainly free to point out the inanity of calling one CNN poll fake news and biased and then posting a different CNN poll of which you approve based solely on the results.
I think the point is if CNN has it at 57 I think you can add the margin of error twice so it's around 65-66%.
so many funny moments. He is staring down the dems at opportune times.
Yeah, I think my point is "Polls" are irrelevant unless they say what you (general you) want them to say. I've never been a big fan of "group think" anyway.
It's like playing with a slice. You just have to adjust based on how fake or very fake you know them to be.
I watched frank lutz be surprised by his focus groups being pro trump and fighting with them in the primaries.
Chris Wallace and brit Hume not exactly trump guys said it was the best speech trump has ever given and the greatest address like this in this setting they have ever seen.
Can't wait to hear what Lawrence O'Donnell and Rachel Maddow have to say

I wish that Mr. Trump would have looked directly at the Democrats and said, "It's time for us to find common ground where ever we can and begin learning how to work together for the people we were sent here to represent. We can accomplish great things for America when we are willing to do what is right for all Americans. I am ready to work with you."
Sorry, I was just really saddened by how divided this country is and how it was demonstrated tonight by the way the Democrats so smuggly dismissed the office of the President.

The dems hissed when Trump talked about his new VOICE program to help those victims of illegal immigrant crime....this with victims of these crimes in the audience....never seen that in my life in a state of the union address. Dems totally tone deaf and in denial, should have heard the parent of the African American on the radio this morning whose son was killed by an illegal immigrant who had been deported previously and was recognized in the chamber during the speech, dems are going to lose more minority voters. This parent said he heard the hisses and he said they are bigoted and they are divisive and they want to do nothing to help people, said they ignore me so I am just going to ignore them. Dems are against Trump because he is Trump, they will not even support common sense legislation, they are going to shoot off both of their feet. Trump last night was Presidential and IMO he showed last night he was the President and laid out policies that most of this country want, he took the seat of power last night. He did so good the dems ran out of the chamber as soon as his speech was over (again, another first), mainly to rush to microphones to spin the speech, they are in trouble. For Trump, he could not have given a better speech, to be honest I did not think he would do as well as he did, but he nailed it.

Flashback: Nancy Pelosi and her husband are currently paying mortgages on seven properties, totaling between approximately $9.8 million and $46.5 million in 2014, likely accruing big tax savings in the process.

Like I posted earlier....they are opposing Trump because he is Trump...going to cost them....they will not support anything good for the American people. Country got to see our leadership unfiltered last night....it was an embarrassing display by the dems.
Dems also are going to lose some of the alt left because they did not interrupt the speech just like they have been asked to do around the country.....it would have been suicide to do so but the alt left fruit cakes will not care, they have been making idiots of themselves in public and thought they are part of a movement....not so much, huh?
If a CNN poll is positive about President Trump then you know the real response must of been so overwhelmingly positive they couldn't hide it.
Here's a sample CNN poll question:
"What are your feeling about all the lies and racist insults in the speech the President just gave":
1. Totally disgusted and sick.
2. Really disgusted and sick.
3. Somewhat disgusted and sick.
4. Disgusted and sick.

It was the same reaction to Trump's nationalist RNC speech last summer.
Of course, instead of analyzing the substance of nationalist policies (which the American people overwhelmingly support), the corporate media immediately went back to attacking Trump personally (ie how "divisive" and "chaotic" he is).
No politician (from either party) can provide a straight answer as to why we've spent trillions building / defending other countries (with US tax dollars) while our own infrastructure has gone to hell.

Lulz, polls are "proven wrong" when you disagree with them.
How are opinion polls ever "proven wrong".
