Obama Takes the Gloves Off


In a fiery speech to the United Auto Workers, President Obama defended his decision to bail out the auto industry while ripping into Mitt Romney.

Greg Sargent: "But this speech was about more than the auto-bailout. It was Obama's case for reelection. This speech constituted Obama's most ambitious effort yet to weave his defense of the auto rescue into the larger contrast he will try to draw between his vision and the 'you're on your own' ideology he will accuse Republicans of representing."

Andrew Sullivan: "I worry it positions him a little too far to the left -- even if he is addressing a union crowd. But it sure doesn't make him look afraid or cautious or calculating, does it? It reminds us of the formidable orator any Republican is going to have to counter this fall, and the economic climate and real record that buttresses this president's case. It's why he'll almost certainly win Michigan this fall -- and maybe much more."

1. I believe he needs another speech in front of military.

Short speech.

We killed Bin Laden.
We've greatly hampered Al-Qaeda.
Got rid of DADT.
Better help for Veteran's
Home from Iraq.
Less war, more time home with families.

And may God bless the United States of America.

2. Peace, prosperity

and reduction in wasteful military spending.

I'd like to see more democratic candidates running - and winning - on this policy, going forward.
