President's Speech

Wednesday, 8:48 am

I am curious if anyone has an opinion on last night’s speech.  I am not sure what I had hoped for or expected, but did not get whatever it was I wanted.  But then, I have to ask myself, do I spend too much time listening to the talking heads - Matthews, Olberman, Maddow - and do they build up my expectations to an unreasonable level.  I just don’t know.  I listened, I watched and felt like I feel when someone gives me a cup of decaf instead of caffeinated coffee.

If anyone is swinging by here, I would love to know what you think.  I honestly do not know what more Obama can do, I do not know what more he should say.  If he gets angry, people clobber him; if he says ‘kick some ass,’ well then he is using gutter language (and whoever said that clearly comes from another planet); if he is calm and cool, he is too professorial.  I realize you cannot please all the people all of the time yadda yadda yadda, but this poor man seems to please no one. 

Someone not long ago was passing around something dumb (as most things are) on Facebook and it went something like, ‘today I am grateful for....’ and you fill in the blank.  Well, I did not do it then, but today?  Well, today I am grateful I am not President Obama!!

Just got back from the gym....a new me--was there at 7AM, am going to go at least three times a week before I go to work.  Yeah, and if you believe that one..............  But my brain is tired, my body is tired and I need my caffeine.
