I watched Obama deliver his speech last night and I compared his style to our previous President and the difference is staggering. Obama can deliver a speech! I’ll give him that, but what exactly did he say? Once again, this is where Obama gets downgraded, because the speech was long on platitudes, but short on details.
The man can deliver a really good speech and he said some things nobody else could have said, for instance he said dropping out of high school is like letting your country down. I loved that line and I agree with him. However, as good as the speech was, it wasn’t quite good enough for Wall Street, as I write the stock market responded with a 150 point drop…and there’s your investor confidence! Wall Street doesn’t like the unknowns and Obama’s speech raised more questions than it had answers.
I think we’ve got a skillful cheerleader in Obama, but not much else! Stay tuned…
