Title: 2/7/09: Your Weekly Presidential Address
Post by: Benny B on February 07, 2009, 09:46:13 AM

This week's address from our fearless leader.  :)

In the weekly address for Saturday, February 7, 2009, President Barack Obama commends the progress the Senate has made on moving the recovery plan forward, and urged its completion.

Is the guy gonna hold weekly addresses like FDR's radio shows throughout the whole presidency?

What's next - will there be a chat with the "Prez" on mtv.com?  ???


Not saying it's wrong - Obama making the presidency more transparent and making even some real changes, not just cosmetic ones, to the political culture, is welcome IMO.

But I won't give him full credit until I see him keep this shit up even when he's less popular.

Being open is easy when you're a fan favorite.

Not so much when the going gets tough. But that's when it's really matters.
