Barack Obama
I am not sure how shocked Americans are to know President Barack Obama supports same-gender marriages.
But I was shocked when I read news reports about the president’s announcement that Republicans accused Obama of “playing politics.”
Of course he is.
The timing for a “State of the Union” address could not have been better for President Barack Obama.
The economy continues to crawl out of the doldrums despite the dark clouds of unemployment and government debt. The Dow rose above 12,000 they day after his speech.
Some presidents do well face-to-face with the public and the media, and others — particularly President George W. Bush — strike fear in the heart of their handlers when they take to the podium.
President Barack Obama made his way to the presidency in part with the ability to speak eloquently, extemporaneously and charismatically.
