Obama does these maintenance speeches just to keep the retarded (liberals) from losing focus and confidence.Liberals have to lie because the issues they ran in 1970 no longer exist. Sick leave, maternity leave, good grief.
They just got bitch slapped in Nov running on these outdated issues. Corporations and CEO's are evil, greedy, they pollute the planet, they screw over their workers, well it doesn't fly because its not 1970 and its not true. Hell workers now own all or part of the very corporations liberals tell us we should hate. Either directly or via retirement funds. Some of the biggest Wall Street hating lying low life scum Democrats in congress have millions of their own money invested in the stock market.
One speech is usually good for several weeks until he can pull off another stunt. It's all politics, public relations. The truth isn't an issue.
