Since I'm sure the odds are something will get discussed from this, here's a thread so that it doesn't wind up in the Dem thread.

 

My only commentary pre-speech is a quote from the West Wing:

“He’s required to give Congress information regarding the state of the Union. If he buys Congress a subscription to the Wall Street Journal, he’s fulfilled his Constitutional responsibility.”

 

Come on, ban on manimals...

 

And the drinking game for tonight is...every time the President says "on the left" as a straw-man to set up how moderate/bipartisan he is...drink.

So this is his chance to talk a big game and go hide in a cave like he has been for the last year. Yay.

One of the president's guests in the box tonight is a Mineralogy Student from Stanford.

The DTripC tonight is going to be running a fact-check...devoted entirely to fact checking Fox News's comments on the speech.

I totally forgot this was today.

I wonder if OBama will try to distract, avoid the issues

 

"Check it oouuuuut, I got the new iPad!"

 

then show it off for 20 minutes, not letting Biden try it out the whole time.

considering i watched the ipad launch, watching a state of the union is too much f***ing excitement for one day

Aw, Obama is charming everyone again!

 

Expect a 10% increase in approval ratings come tomorrow.

this state of the union speech is terrible.

Did he just say expand nuclear power and open more areas to drilling? Wow.

I use to sit here thinking how will they pay for all this? Now I'm thinking 50% tax cuts to cover all these costs

 

I'm interested in how the $10,000 tax credit for college would work.

I just watched 5 minutes and couldn't stand it anymore. It's the same spew for 2 years now. He's still campaigning.

Damn he just s*** on the Supreme Court as they sit in the front row watching.

lol

 

he just complained about perpetual campaigns.

I chose to take this literally since I can't see this.

Yea, it was all that verbal diarreah coming out of his mouth.

These would be a lot more watchable if they told congress to keep their buts in their seats until the speech is over. Its the same thing no matter who is president. Whatever party the president is in, spends half the time jumping up and clapping like they never heard of such awesomeness. The other side has a grumpy look on their face. This years mini-SOTU that the republicans ran afterwards was stupid as well.

 

Nancy Pelosi had some sort of facial tick thing going on. That was scary.

She is due for another botox injection, probably.

I only saw bits and pieces, but Obama kinda shat on everyone today. Democrats and Republicans.

 

Can't say I agreed with his whole speech, but I was sorta impressed at how much he came off like an insult comic at times.

Again, he was campaigning. It's all the man knows how to do.

 

"CHANGE". Yea, ok. "Words, just words". That's about all.

You've said the same thing over and over again for two years. And frankly, its not true.

 

If all he knew how to do was campaign, he'd probably be doing a lot better in the polls and so would the Democrats.

I'd like to see something come of his nuclear comment. So far, the only policy I've seen come from his administration on that issue was to close Yucca.

I find it interesting that you would prefer a candidate/elected leader who, after getting elected, would stop working for what got him elected. I find it refreshing that someone actually is trying to follow through on the plan they "spewed" to get elected. Yep, he's continuing to campaign for the stuff that got him elected, as promised. I wish we had more, not less, leaders doing that. (Even if I do not agree with some of it).

For as much bulls*** as Obama packed in to 70 minutes or so, McConnell blew him away in only 10.
