Damn, Obama is a good speaker.

 

I hate looking at Nancy Pelosi.

 

Rahm Emmanuel should stop with the fake and bake.

I like how they made the mistake and put in a place where the Dems could applaud the Canadian health care system. I always loved when Bush made those.

 

Wow, now he's really challenging them by calling "lies" "lies". Some serious boos/hoots from the right on that one.

There is some serious balls attached to this speech. There's not a lot of "big speech" bulls*** in this "big speech."

Hey, a Wendell Potter reference!

The thing I've really loved is watching the GOP lawmakers slowly stand up to applaud because he's co-opting their language.

I hate these sorts of things are more like high school pep rallies. Just sit down, shut up and listen.

What other government programs are supposed to be self-sufficient but end up getting subsidized anyway?

The rest of the government gets subsidized by Social Security, does that count?

Take that, Bush!

 

I'm sure that's going to be heavily criticized.

LOL, please, let them come out and defend Bush's deficits.

You know that won't be the focus. He'll be criticized for attacking Bush in the speech. And, really, I think it was kinda stupid. Provides too easy of a distraction from what the speech is actually about.

He got away with saying "The time for putting off making hard choices is over" with that guy sitting over his shoulder on Jan 20th.

The president of the united states is still the president. Respect the office especially when he is addressing congress. If you are so bent out of shape over what is said, rebut it later.

 

On another note, what is with the crazy color scheme by the female members of congress. It looks like JC Pennies had a sale on red.

It works for the Prime Minister across the pond.

I have difficulty remembering a more hard-hitting major presidential political speech on any policy issue other than the Iraq war from recent years.

Not in this kind of setting. There's a difference between an address and "question time."

I know, doesn't mean I can't laugh though.

Time from end of speech to the first email on it out to the OFA email list? About 1 minute.

Boustany shirt and tie is kinda freakin' me out.

 

It's like they're using a fish eye lens.

Respect the office. I thought it was outrageous when the Code Pink jackasses interrupted Bush's speeches. They however are not elected officials. The elected officals should know that is about the office of the president.

 

The other thing is the pep rally affect. This has been going on for years. One side jumps up, claps like they never heard such a great thing. The other side keeps sitting, makes faces and looks grumpy. The dems did it with bush, and the republicans are doing it with Obama. Its dumb either way. How about a new rule ( not to sound Bill Maherish ). Keep your ass in the seat until the speech is over. No response to the speech until its over good or bad. Its a speech, not an interactive talk.

Yes to all of it. I was fairly impressed with this speech, I gotta say.

Yeah, I will grant...you didn't exactly expect a Congressman to go all code pink.

Usually they do that in airport bathrooms.
