State of the Union

[cebeu]

Who else is palnning to watch? What are you looking for in the speech tonight?

CSPAN Agenda Summary: In a televised speech to the nation, Pres. Obama will deliver his State of the Union address to Congress. He is expected to lay out his vision for the future of the country, and his plan to deal with unemployment, health care, and the wars in Iraq & Afghanistan.

By the way, had to post the following, funny-ass quote from an insider--

SOURCE: Politico.com, By GLENN THRUSH & JOHN BRESNAHAN | 1/27/10 12:50 AM EST, Top Democrats at war - with each other

In a display of contempt unfathomable in the feel-good days after Obama’s Inauguration, freshman Rep. Dina Titus (D-Nev.) stood up at a meeting with Pelosi last week to declare: “Reid is done; he’s going to lose” in November, according to three people who were in the room.

Titus denied Tuesday evening that she had singled out Reid, but she acknowledged that she said Democrats would be “f—-ed” if they failed to heed the lessons of Massachusetts,

I expect more of the typical political BS to be vomited out by the POTUS.

Anyone want to wager AGAINST him saying that the .gov will begin to cut spending? Of course, what he won't tell us is that they only expect to cut discretionary spending which is less than 1% of the total federal budget.

Lemme see... I'm sure that he'll also tell us that, in the past year, he's had to make some tough decisions which were very unpopular but it was the right thing to do to get us back on track [yeah, I know...For what? A total crash of the nations economy?]. He'll tell us that we need to continue to make sacrifices while the .gov makes the "hard choices that need to be made".

Oh yeah, if I watch this thing I'll need to ensure I have a bucket of popcorn, a bag of peanuts or I won't be able to enjoy this circus.

[WillysWagon]

TheGinsue just saved us a lot of time as this is "exactly" what will be said.

[Mtn.man]

Yeah but did G use a telepromter...

[Irving]

I would need a teleprompter to keep me on point. When I get going, I branch off on so many tangents that if you graphed my speech, it would look like a Mandelbrot or some other fractal.

[68Charger]

Squirrel!

[10x]

I will find something to watch that isn't a complete misrepresentation and does not make me angry.

[Bailey Guns]

This could make it fun. A little booze, a little bingo... First one to spell "BARACK" wins!

Point!

wolverines!!!!!!

[GunTroll]

Oh snap! its on now. Oh well. Beck will just break it all down for me tomorrow in a condensed truthful version.

[Irving]

I fell asleep within the first 5 minutes (I was pretty tired) but was immediately annoyed he didn't just jump right into it. I feel like that is a non-partisan complaint. Anyway, I woke up half an hour into it, and am pretty damn annoyed that people are seriously trying to go into full blown applause at the end of every other sentence. You could tell he was getting pissed for a while. Also, Nancy Pelosi continuously trying to jump up and turn her favorite parts into a standing ovation like some helicopter mom at a soccer game is driving me up the wall. This would be MUCH easier to watch if I didn't have to stare at the two people I dislike more than anyone else (Biden and Pelosi) the whole time.

[Marlin]

That's why you listen too it on the radio.....

[Ridge]

I chose not to watch it. I can get a moment-by-moment mockery of it on Arfcom...

[Marlin]

Do both...[Abused]

[Ridge]

I got a good synopsis from The_Neutral_Observer over on ARFcom...


Obama laid an egg tonight. This was his "malaise" speech.

He called out and insulted the Supreme Court, he threatened to embark us on a trade war, he attacked banks and corporations, he showed a willingness to continue to run left, he acted petty and snotty to his political opponents, and he lectured the American people. It came off as an amateur-hour, junior high school locker room speech.

Did you hear the crickets when he mentioned reforming export controls?

McDonnell was kind of ho-hum in the response, but he hit the high points that the tea party movement has been pushing. The format was very effective. At least it wasn't like Jindal's speech last year.

And here is something cute from the Supreme Court...

holy crap that movie is funny!!! I watched it the other day flying to work. laughed my ass off![Beer][ROFL2][ROFL2][ROFL2]

[sniper7]

I didn't watch, I'll catch the highlights on ar15 and on Beck tomorrow.
I also want to watch CNN and see what they have to say, they always amuse me[ROFL1]

from what I saw in a short thread on ar15 he attacked the supreme court for its recent decision yet the NRA sent me and email and said they applauded the supreme court[Coffee]

I don't even like to give him the time of day, I find it hard to stomach his bullshit anymore, I can't stand listening to the guy speak because I just get pissed, I would prefer he were impeached so his true legacy could down down as a failure in less than 4 years, even worse than carter.

[theGinsue]

OBAMA: "Starting in 2011, we are prepared to freeze government spending for three years. Spending related to our national security, Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security will not be affected. But all other discretionary government programs will. Like any cash-strapped family, we will work within a budget to invest in what we need and sacrifice what we don't." (Source: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100128/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_obama_fact_check)

From my earlier post on this thread:

...Anyone want to wager AGAINST him saying that the .gov will begin to cut spending? Of course, what he won't tell us is that they only expect to cut discretionary spending which is less than 1% of the total federal budget...

Damn! I called that one.

[Ridge]

He is cutting spending to departments like Energy and Transportation.

So we wont have any power or roads to travel anywhere...

[theGinsue]

Bailey - I wish I'd seen your BARACK Bingo post earlier! That would have been great!


....so his true legacy could down down as a failure in less than 4 years, even worse than carter.

Yeah. Who would have thought that we'd ever look back n the Carter years and think "Well, at least he wasn't the worst President ever"?

[TFOGGER]

Interesting perspective on why Mr. Obama's policies are doomed to fail:

[Bang]

[GunTroll]

Why wait to freeze next year? What does he think, were idiots? That gives him a whole year to add to the deficit even more.

[theGinsue]

<start SARCASM here>

Yeah, but it's just one year. I mean really, how much can he add to the deficit in just one year?

<end SARCASM>

TFOGGER: Thanks for that post. I just finished reading it (long read). Very good info.

Don't you remember? He's gonna give everyone a wind turbine and solar array for their home.

[Birddog1911]

I didn't watch, but I'm watching the highlights this morning on the news. I think my head is going to explode. He blames the minority in Congress for not passing anything, forgetting that he had a super-majority in the Senate and a large majority in the House. He claims that he is willing to listen to any idea, yet refuses to look at Republican ideas for health care. I could go on, but I'm afraid I'll throw up.

[theGinsue]

Obomanitions:
"Open to other ideas" = Do it my way or else
"Transparent Government" = function behind closed doors

Good call Ginsue. If it wasnt so potentially dangerous to this country it would be funny.
I didnt watch (I wanted to get something productive done) but what bits I have heard and seen it is the same old pitchman. It is like watching infomercials at 3 in the morning.
Biden the bobble head in the back and Pelosi (Mommy Dearest) on the other side.
She looks like an evil feline that is waiting to pounce.
Probably not an overly wise move to diss the Supreme Court.
They have more power than Barry thinks.
Interesting how an eligibility case might be recieved by the SCOTUS in the future.

[Mtn.man]

He's still campaigning.

I have inside info that the reason for the standing ovations was that he got rid of the padded seats, and everyone had to sit on aluminum camp stools.

Pelosi kept jumping up because her egg vibrator kept shorting out.....LOL

Curious George goes to Hollywood.

Where as we have had a President that once was an actor we now have a President pineing to be an actor....

[Bailey Guns]

Interesting quote from Obama's SOTU speech (keep in mind he's touted as a Constitutional Scholar):

"We find unity in our incredible diversity, drawing on the promise enshrined in our Constitution, the notion that we're all created equal, that no matter who you are or what you look like, if you abide by the law, you should be protected by it, if you adhere to our common values, you should be treated no different than anyone else."

Then he has the nerve to chastise the SCOTUS justices for their recent decision when he doesn't even know the difference between the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.

What a douche.

[Mtn.man]

The NWO constitution?

I won't watch. It just upsets me to hear all the deceiptions.

Maybe he was thinking of the Fourteenth Amendment equal protection clause... [Stooge]

Or he just needs a bit more polishing....

Some of my old buddies who found me on facebook proudly pounded on their libtard chest........yes we can! After the speech. What idiots! Still buying his BS.

[Mtn.man]

Buddies?

[GreenScoutII]

Well, there actually were a couple of points I agreed with him on. I know that he is just being a politician and telling people what they want to hear though...

The bitch about Obama is that I think he is probably a decent guy. I think he really does want to help regular people get ahead, he is just clueless about how to actually do it...

Thats all I'm going to say about it.

[GunTroll]

Buddies?

Distant. Way distant!

I had to read that post again. His voodoo is working on ya. Grab a gun, head to the range and put some lead down range in quick secession. Repeat if necessary.

I feel pretty much the same way. Of everyone in Obama's cabinet, he is the one I dislike the least.

Naw... His voodoo ain't gettin to me. I just like to mess with you guys periodically. Oh, I get to put lead down range dang near every day. Best therapy there is.[AR15]

Anybody watch the clip on the daily show with Jon Stewart today? hilarious[ROFL2]

I didn't see it, is it on Youtube yet? I'd look but have no idea what to look for.

Not yet, at least I couldn't find it, might be on comedy centrals website.
It was bashing Obama on the state of the union speech.

"Basically what I am saying is FUUUUCCCKKKKK YOOOUUUU!"[ROFL1]
