    Bush took 14 minutes

    Clinton 9 minutes

    Reagan 21 minutes

    I think Obama well set a new record. They may have to drag him off the podium

    This will be my FAVORITE speech by Pinocchio, his last as president. Although I will have read about it.
    I also sense there will be no leftist liberal Marxist commenting here for the duration of the self adulation speech.

    I hope he speaks for at least 30 minutes. He's a gifted orator and a class act.

    Michelle Obama, cheering for "South Side" Chicago, where the most shootings and murders occur in that city. I guess she's proud of growing up there, too bad she couldn't do more to help her former neighbors out.

    Good to see all the libs crying, including Obama himself. Bye bye.

    No, I don't mean that at all. This has been such a pensive, heartwarming speech. Millions of people are fond of Barack Obama, He was eloquent and inspirational, as usual.

    Millions of people do not seem to share your sentiment and clearly I don't. See my 7:59 p.m. post. President Obama could have won again if he weren't limited to two terms.

    His speech will consist of the narcissistic I-I-I-I-I-I-I unless his teleprompter goes out and then it will consist of Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Sure . . . as long as his teleprompter is working.

    Obama buttressed his case with a battery of statistics as he touts the accomplishments of his two terms, which among other things includes a record 75 straight months of job growth, more than 15 million new jobs, a long-awaited rise in hourly wages — and the removal of Osama Bin Laden as a threat to America.

    Yep. A new record of job growth.

    The President is the best speaker ever, in the history of Presidents. His ability is YUGE. Believe me.

    Who accomplished nothing and now says it's all because "things take time".

    But he did speak out about things.
    He did think about things.
    He did organize about things.
    He really did care about things.

    But none of that gets thing accomplished. Just as his wife the best thing there can be his hope. Well I'd rather be getting things done and living a better life than just hoping for one, that seems a lot better to me.
