You should make sure to label both halves, so there's no confusion.
That's crazy. I mean I know it makes sense logically but what a weird thing Obama and all presidents have to adjust to. Having all the power to do as you like one day and the next you're just an ordinary citizen like everyone else. Well maybe not 'ordinary' but you know what I mean.They mentioned a story where Jimmy Carter asked for an update on the hostage situation back then at like 12:01pm and they told him he didn't have clearance
It's literally over just like that
Well, here's my take on it. I thought it was bold and honest.
- He said this isn't about him, but the American people. He said he is working for all the American people.
- It doesn't matter what your skin color is, we are all one people. We all essentially want the same things, the freedoms of our country unites us and we are unstoppable when we work together.
- He called out the politicians and said they have benefited themselves at the expense of the people.
- Regarding trade, he basically said his priority is America first. He wants to bring back jobs.
- Two rules: Buy American and Build in America.
- He wants to strengthen the relationship with our allies and also make new ones. He wants America to be a good example to the rest of the world.
- He said he is going to work on rebuilding America's infrastructure instead of other countries.
- He said protecting America's borders and safety will come before protecting another countries borders.
- He said ISIS will be defeated.
It was a very patriotic speech, blunt and in stark contrast to how Obama has sounded the last few years. That being said, I had high hopes for Obama in 2008. People might not remember the climate he was elected under, but the conditions weren't too dissimilar to today. I see a lot of similarities, but others may disagree. Imo, America has a lot of the problems and it will take some tough medicine to fix them. I hope Trump can turn things around.
Do you think 1,500 phone calls is a good barometer of national opinion? Because that's what Gallop says they use for presidential approval ratings.
Did you forget 2006 and 2008?

He's hoping for a shit four-years from Trump.
So that when historians talk about the decline of Western civilization, they'll point to Trumps' presidency and not his.

That's a good sample size.
Anything over a thousand respondents really.
how do statistics work

Can someone sum up the speech? Missed it.
I think we could do so much better with the communication technology we have.
If they're about 1,500 landlines, it's even worse.
What's a good reason for not expanding it to a much higher number with a much more prevalent communication method?
Wait. How does this affect me? I just bought a house last year.CNBC Now

so Obama can no longer pardon anyone correct? Like if he wants to pardon someone later tonight it's already too late?

Yea, cause raising money and being well liked is more important than, you know...actually winning house/senate races. Keep at it though, I can't wait to lose more in 2018.

I was surprised Trump basically just recycled his campaign speeches, still insisting America is some sort of dystopian nightmare and insisting he was going to make every single aspect of our lives better. Making impossible promises at this point doesn't seem overly wise to me.
Once Trump gets us into a war based upon lies I'll agree with you.Nowhere near as bad as Trump even there. I mean keep in mind we have 4 years to go, you'll miss Bush eventually. Much devistation to come.

As crazy as it may sound I would take W back again over Trump any day
The ACA is a piecemeal pro-private industry neo-liberal piece of legislation that is going to collapse under the weight of its inefficiency.
There's nothing wrong with wanting something better instead of the half handed 'bones' that the democrats toss to their base once in a great while.
