You didn't address my post at all. The president is addressing the issues that are important to the majority, and just because he's not issuing spittle laced diatribes about climate change doesn't mean he's neglecting the issue. Speeches don't pass legislation, Congress does.

You can visit whitehouse.gov at any time, since you obviously have internet access, to see exactly what's being done on any number of issues of concern. If you're on the mailing list, OFA often issues calls to action, by the president's supporters on issues that are important to us. Stop bellyaching. If speeches could cure all our ills, then why are the people who scream loudest about what the president has or hasn't done, the first to dismiss speeches as "just pretty words"?
