14. Teleprompter never bothered me, still doesn't....

The man is in the mud slinging cross hairs on every single syllable that comes out his mouth. Detroit is only the beginning, There are many more large city bankruptcies looming on the horizon. Detroit was not a surprise, it has been on the glide slope into a crash landing for a long time.

My hope would be that his speech will be more "financial reality based", with the actual horrible facts and brutal realities that will be required to overcome what is GOING to happen in the next few years, not just in Mich. But I bet the speech won't, he had the promise to be the reality based President, however he can't explain the truth for fear of what it will mean to future elections. There are serious financial black holes that are gobbling up the future of this country,..... polls, statistics and the irrelevant "unemployment figure" doesn't change the facts that are present in the lives and communities around America.

And the wheel goes round and round, for now anyway,...........until there is not enough grease to be "speeched" and we seize up one bearing too many,.. and the economic axel snaps.
