In reply to the discussion: Obama is giving the speech liberals have begged him to give for four years. [View all]adieu
(1,009 posts)52. The speech was great
I'm more concerned whether he will be able to act upon it. That's the biggest gripe I, and possibly others here on DU, have with Obama. It's one thing to have an ass like Romney saying things like, "We should reform social security.." (meaning destroy it), and then do it. And it's far another to say, "We must strengthen social security.." and do nothing towards doing so.
Talk's cheap. Actions speaks louder than words. I expect to hold Obama to his words, as much as I like to hear them.

In other words, you couldn't answer my question so you resort to lame insults.

All you did was take the opportunity to condescend. Another poster managed to answer me

Oh, please. You posted personally to me in the same message, don't know why you'd deny it.
