Erie Dawg Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Since I have only really seen or remember Inaugural speeches since Regan's first term I was curious how the rest of you rate his speech. If you disliked it, fine what parts. It was short, blunt, to the point. I also don't feel it was partisan one way or the other. Some one compared Obama's speech to a foofy Pina colada that was long and drawn out, to Trump's being a shot of whiskey short and to the point.

Erie Dawg Posted January 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Even though this is fresh and right now, honestly it was the best I've heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHardBrownsFan Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 I would rate this as the best speech in Presidential history. Much better then JFK's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcus Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 When I see this rhetoric set in motion, I'll rate it then. In the meantime, I wish him good health, safety and God given discernment and wisdom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calfoxwc Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 wasn't "rhetoric" Marcus. Trump isn't a fake, full of nonsense snide quips that he never really meant. Trump really is who he is. And really, what he said, has been on the hearts and minds of many, many people, millions and millions, in this country. No, he didn't make history by being black or hispanic or gay or transpervert or female....but he's the first worked kick ass hard all his life and is a big success in the private sector non-politician. My opinion, that was the greatest inaugural speech ever. And his criticism was aimed at both parties, and rightly so. Not just politically expedient jabs at one party like the one who I hope we don't have to mention ever again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just politically expedient jabs at one party like the one who I hope we don't have to mention ever again. I think my thoughts were objective and open minded. Not saying it was terrible nor did it offend me. Quite the opposite but all words are validated by the actions that follow was my point. I didn't vote for Trump nor Hillary. I think you mistake me for a staunch liberal. That's not true Since I'm younger than some of you I'm starting to see the importance of the fundamentals of liberty and unity and beginning to define what they mean to me. If you were moved by it and are all in that's your right. But as someone that has proudly served my country and now serve a specific community; I reserve the right to be cautiously optimistic.

calfoxwc Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 They were. I was reading between the lines, my bad. I remember JFK's speech, Reagan's... This one moved me. Of course, we'll see how it comes to fruition or not. I thought Bush would put a whomp on illegal immigration. But it was politically expedient to not make it an issue. I hate that. And I criticized Bush for it often. I was moved by Trump's speech - because what he said is exactly what America needed to finally hear. The question remains is he finally the guy who means kickass business to solve the problems we face. It will take someone not ingrained in the status quo of politics as they always are. That is why Trump won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cysko Kid Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 I hope that Trump is a guy who is able to get things done by hook or by crook. Steve Jobs once said this about Obama "The president is very smart. But he kept explaining to us reasons why things can't get done.It infuriates me." That's the essence of Obama in a nutshell. I keep hearing liberals claim he was the greatest president of all time and I scoff. The greatest president of all time would have found a way to get things done no matter how much obstructionism he faced. Jobs himself was well known for forcing what were thought of as impossible tasks to get done through sheer force of will, and the ability to buy, bribe, cajole or bully people into doing what he demanded of them. They loved him or they hated him but they did as he asked of them. Obama was a spinless jellyfish that made excuses why he couldn't fulfill his lofty promises. Worse, he put in a half assed effort and called it good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
