The biggest complaint in the after show focus group I saw was once again all talk all promises no specifics as to how he would do it. And not ONE, repeat not ONE person was moved toward Obama.

I think he wasted $4 million dollars.

That's exactly why I don't understand people blindly believing everything (or most of) ONE PERSON says; it takes all parties, all government groups to hack something out and compromise on the final result.

Every president, every politician "promises" that they'll do "this" and do "that" when they get to Washington or the State Capitol, but the reality is usually way different.

How refreshing would it be to hear a politician speaking reality without the spin and bullshit. Never will happen. Just "promise" what "good" you will do and attack your opponent. Same bullshit, different year, differerent people.

Short term, feel-good.....end result? Big Business took everything.

But if that "feel-good, tingly" feeling Reagan gave you is still carrying you around today, then !!!!!!!

So you support his plan to raise taxes on people who only bring home $75,000? Who are middle class.

No it actually lasted quite a long time in spite of Democrats trying to revert back to high tax rates and anti-business policies.

75k take home is not middle class, but either way, sure.
