Obama used the word crisis 25 times during his Phoenix speech--what happened to that hope and change?

Answer 1

Favorite Answer

Just because you have hope for the future doesn't mean you have to lie about the present. It is a crisis, and I'm glad to have a president willing to be honest with the American people.

Answer 2

I didn't vote for Obama but I believe he was trying to convey to those who have become unemployed that he realizes their need for speedy intervention. If you have lost your job and there are none to be had, it is a crisis. The problem is, he didn't target creating new jobs or quick lending that would have saved many jobs except for the ones being bailed out. I just feel the stimulus bill left a great deal to be desired especially considering its cost.

Answer 3

He fraudulently got the job, and now realizes he wasn't up to it yet, as he said when first asked several year's back if he would run for President. Also, the whole act is one of smoke an mirrors, deceit and deception.

Great point - Bill Clinton also made a similar statement.

Answer 4

Somehow I do not see making side walks, paving little league parking lots, painting buildings and replacing doorbells as a national crisis. I call that pork.

Answer 5

Repeating hope and change got him in office. Now in order to gain public support and be able to spend trillions, Obama must make everything appear to be a crisis.

And the left says Bush used fear mongering...

Answer 6

Lol.....Obama hoped to cause a crisis and change america for the worse.

He succeeded.

Answer 8

To make it clear that the plans to address the Housing CRISIS is not wasteful spending.

Answer 9

as a remember of actuality he can say something he needs in his speeches as long as he says, "specific we are able to," "replace," and "we are the folk". it particularly is ridiculous, yet actual. The liberal left love him and he can do no incorrect. whether all his pals sidestep paying taxes, or do not prefer to artwork with him.
