In a campaign-style speech at Knox College in Galesburg, Ill., Jul 24 2013 the president proclaimed that America during his presidency has “fought its way back” from the recession and called on voters to “pressure Congress to invest in our future” by spending more on such items as education, clean energy and infrastructure.
He predicted that if the Republicans resist his plans, the nation’s social fabric will begin to fray as resentment builds among lower economic groups.
It lasted for more than one hour and even the hand-picked backdrop looked bored out of their gourd. It was all a rehash of his campaign speeches from the last five years, no new ideas here. Oh by the way, the scandals are not phony.
Obama’s last speech, it can safely be said
Might render us all on that therapy pad.
I am but a peasant,
But it was as pleasant
As if I just then colonoscopy had.
