I really want to see or hear his address tonight-- it will be CRUCIAL that he instills confidence and sets the right tone for the country, even if he has to face mounting criticism from both sides.
Obama to call for 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' repeal, adviser says
President Obama will ask Congress Wednesday night to repeal the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy that bars gays and lesbians from openly serving in, White House Senior Adviser David Axelrod told CNN.
The request will be included in the president's State of the Union address, Axelrod said.

The President is darned if he does and darned if he doesn't.
Truth is, he is in a hard predicament-- the whole country is in a hard predicament.
The spending freeze-- if he stops too much at once, the recovery might stall as Americans will feel the pinch as the economy returns to square one.
If he does not slow down on at least some stuff, inflation will be our demise.

Jermyn, your good president isnt darned if he does and darned if he doesnt.
what he is, is a man who has NOT focused on the eocnomy and instead spent like a drunken sailor (no waith that is a republican)... he has spent like a drunken democrat in the face of a massively rising debt load.
Instead of focusing both spending and tax policy on turning the econonmy around he has focused on a healthcare bill that clearly the majority of Americans did not like.
He fiddled while America was burning.... after he added gas to the fire.
THAT is what your good changychangechange president has done.
I would be far more patient with him had he been focused on the pressing issues of the day instead of this bull headed liberal rant he has been on.

On the freeze spending, he is doing the opposite of what it looks like. He isn't reducing spending, he is only locking in the huge increases that were instituted last year!
