#1 He made a reference to bankers who "click their heels and watch their stocks skyrocket." Was he going with a Dorothy in Oz metaphor? Do bankers click their heels?

Of course. That's how they manipulate profit-to-earnings ratios.

#2 I wondered how that would go. I suspected that The One is not the most popular guy in Lorain and that they would have a hard time getting shills to ask set up questions. Sounds like they ended up with the followers who come to ask the anointed one to heal them. Sad for all.

#4 When a manager is promoted beyond their level of competence you often see them do start doing their last job rather then their current one. They regress to their comfort zone whether it's appropriate or not.

Obama knows how to campaign, but has no clue how to govern the country. Therefore, it's off to Ohio for a "campaign stop".

#5 "I won't stop fighting to bring back jobs here,"

a promise he will likely keep as you cannot stop something you have not begun to do

#6 The questions are simply a reflection of the intelligence level of his remaining supporters.

#8 my big bridge project has structural stainless steel railing being fabricated at an Elyria plant. I requested contamination testing today after hearing this tool would be spewing his lying jive. Ultrasonic and dye-penetrant testing doesn't pick up lying jive contamination. You just have to grind or air-gouge out the anomalies or it will bite you a year or two later...

#9 His talking about himself in the third person creeped me out. Admittedly, with him it doesn't take much to creep me out.

#10 His upcoming State of The Union should be very interesting. I suspect we'll all be getting a Harvard level, assistant prof lecture.

#12 This guy had a chance to listen to Town Hall meetings last August but they refused to listen and called the people "the mob". This evening on Drudge Report, Washington is now saying "Health Care" reform has "hit a buzz saw". CAN YOU HEAR US NOW!!?? What took you so long, Washington?
