Any predictions on Pres. Obama's speech tonight? reaction?
Edited on Tue Feb-24-09 01:16 PM by underpants
I heard a little tease this morning on Morning Joe- he will end on a positive note "Obama of the campaign" as it was described

Anyone have any other predictions?

"Nationalize" (bad debt bank) the banks?
Nationalize oil and energy?
Will he make Chavez look like Milton Friedman according to (insert pundit's name)?
Will Fred Barnes self-immolate himself on his turtle shell glasses?

:shrug:

2. YOu are right
Death, taxes and Republican obstructionism, those are the three certainities in life right now.

11. You're right
It doesn't really matter what President Obama says.

3. Pat Buchanan
will proclaim it a brilliant speech tonight, and tomorrow he will say it was the weakest speech Obama's given.

6. It will remind him of something in the 70's
Scarborough will relate it somehow to 1994

7. I predict the MSM will complain no matter what Obama says and declare Bobby Jindal to be the best
speaker who ever lived.

8. I Predict The Media Will Faithfully Recite Their RNC Issued Talking Points
Indeed, as you switch from one channel to the next, you will be surprised at the remarkable consistency with which the commentators parrot GOP talking points.

9. Insta-polls!
And then the insta-polls will show everyone who isn't a Republican or a pundit will overwhelmingly give the night to President Obama. I'll be missing the little focus group dials from the debates showing Obama on the rise and McCain in the toilet.

Good times.

12. The Networks are making a really big deal of this. All the anchors are there
So my guess is he has to be great. Or they will claim it was a let down.
