Maybe Sandy Hook can be Obama's 9/11.  Sure, he didn't campaign on gun control, but it might be a good time to use the time to eliminate some of the more dangerous elements of American society.

It's not better or worse. Personally I think expressing ideas in simple language is more impressive than indulging in florid prose.

I definitely disagree. What is this - some sort of gross populist forum?
They're politicians operating in a representative republic with universal suffrage, so yes, yes it is.

That's why we have the electoral college. :)

So that means we all have to suffer?

Who are the two older men leading his way down to the floor, are they lawmakers/congressmen or some form of official usher ?

Contest winners, I believe.

It almost sounded like he was promising to raise the Social Security age :wub:

Eh I shouldn't get my hopes up.

I think that's a more negotiable point for him than people believe.

Good to see him emphasising climate change and this science behind it, then throwing down the gauntlet on the issue.

Wow, this is the most outwardly arrogant president in my lifetime.

I guess he does not hide it behind modesty like Bill Clinton always did.

Yes I am being very very sarcastic and wondering if you were in a coma from 1992 until 2000.

The stuff about repairing and improving the nations infrastructure seems common sense, something a modern economy needs.

That is the kind of thing every President promises to do and never does.  Like helping the Middle Class.

Okay, telling colleges to keep costs down.  Finally something good.
