He always gives good speeches, it's his lack of "follow through" that disturbs me.

same old tired people making the same old tired comments. He won AGAIN..get over it. Not everyone thought it was a bad speech.
"Newt Gingrich, who ran for the Republican presidential nod last year, said he liked the speech. "I thought it was very, very good," Gingrich told Politico. "I didn’t think it was very liberal. There were one or two sentences obviously conservatives would object to, but 95 percent of the speech I thought was classically American, emphasizing hard work, emphasizing self-reliance, emphasizing doing things together. I thought it was a good speech."
I guess Newt's comment "emphasizing self-reliance" debunks your statement Eagle1. Yes people like the 5 who have posted so far should feel fear, afterall, the days of the biggoted angry old white men are coming to a close. THANK GOD.

Yeah, Obama that's the way to bring our country together with a divisive far left speech. Sign of a real leader of all America. What happened to dealing with the debt, jobs and the economy? Yeah, can't wait to spend more taxpayer money, can you!
