President's monotone delivery while somber kept causing me to dooze off. Don't think he was able to deliver the goods. We'll see.

I think he gave an excellent explanation as to the cause of this problem. I just wish he would have further defined the culprits.

I just wish he'd have provided an alternate solution that doesn't involve easy taxpayer money. Again... "We the People" are treated like "We the Sheeple." We are getting fleeced.
