    Speeches no longer work in the Divided States of America

    By omekongo  |  Posted January 28, 2010  |  Washington, District of Columbia
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     'We are past speeches in America,' says omekongo. 'We need to see real, concrete action.'
    - rachel8, CNN iReport producer

    Post asserts that while it was important for Obama to lay out his successes, ultimately Americans are at a point where speeches just won't work. Furthermore, given that the Republican Party is only committed to being against Obama, the President needs to focus on going forward with his agenda and leaving a legacy of true change. He has made great strides in the area of hate crimes legislation, education, and tax cuts, but that is irrelevant to Republicans. He needs to continue to show leadership where the republicans just show immaturity. Congratulations to President Obama on his first year. At some point my hope is the Republicans will develop some level of objectivity and realize that we're all in this together.
