Bummer! I was looking forward to soaring rhetoric not policy! But I guess since the independents want substance not style, Obama is forced to include policy in his speech<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“I’m not aiming for a lot of high rhetoric,” he said of his upcoming speech. “I’m much more concerned with communicating how I intend to help middle-class families live their lives.”
\n“People know that I can give the kind of speech that I gave four years ago,” Obama continued. “That’s not the question on voters’ minds. I think they’re much more interested in, what am I going to do to help them in their lives? And so, in that sense, this is going to be a more workmanlike speech.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Looks like it’s going to be a dull speech, I hope it doesn’t go long. It’s bad enough that we have to sit through two windbags tonight \ud83d\ude42
\nBTW, I don’t need Obama’s help to live my life, I’m perfectly able to do that on my own. But if he really wants to help, he can give us a tax cut and to make Bush’s tax cuts permanent so we keep the deduction for our kids. He can also open up more areas for drilling.
\nUpdate: Well, at least we’ll have the Greek Temple to look at during the speech. Here’s a video if you’re interested in what it looks like<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
