1. Mr. President

First, the republicans need for you to fail. And then their constituents who they despise are too dumb and racist to see the lights.

2. K&R x 1000.

Great speech (or at least what has been posted on DU.)

Thanks for posting.

I'm reminded of an old saying, "Give 'em Hell, Harry." I think it referred to Harry Truman.

So, I'm going to say: Give 'em Hell, Obama.

Give 'em Hell, Harry! is a biographical play and 1975 film, written by playwright Samuel Gallu. Both the play and film are a one-man show about former President of the United States Harry S. Truman. Give 'em Hell, Harry! stars James Whitmore and was directed by Steve Binder and Peter H. Hunt.

The title comes from an incident that took place during the 1948 Presidential election campaign. In Harrisburg, Illinois, Truman delivered a speech attacking the Republicans. During the speech a supporter yelled out "Give 'em Hell, Harry!". Truman replied, "I don't give them Hell. I just tell the truth about them and they think it's Hell." Subsequently, "Give 'em Hell, Harry!" became a lifetime slogan for Truman supporters.

3. The White House Youtube Channel posted the full speech so I added it....

What's funny is the Right actually believes Obama is wildly unpopular.

Of course, they also believe Paul Ryan was going to be wildly popular for cracking down on unions.

You know,...because that's Reaganesque.
