[OFFICIAL] State of the Union Address Thread

[asaratis]

WAHOOO!! Obama has made us a oil exporter and cut the deficit big time!!!

GO OBAMA!

Yep! That was about the first false claim he made tonight. We have indeed increased our oil production...on PRIVATE LANDS...no thanks to the federal government! He didn't do shit to increase our oil production...just took credit for it...like any good LIAR would do!

...and he did cut the deficit...after he increased it...and added more to the national debt than ALL PREVIOUS PRESIDENTS COMBINED.

You are so easily duped it's not funny at all!

 

[Spoonman]

Climate Change is settled!!!

YES WE DID!!

I love it.

Leadership.

what happen to Global Warming?

 

[Procrustes Stretched]

wtf did Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) say? She's a mom, she grew up in America and wishes God blesses America? wtf

What is the GOP plan?

 

[theDoctorisIn]

Cathy McMorris Rodgers?

Never heard of her.

She's a mom and recently had another child.

I would have thought they'd pick a bigger "rising star" to deliver the "Response".

 

[Political Junky]

Three more rebuttals by the Right, still to come. She was boring, yes.

 

[RandomVariable]

The amount of religious invocation in the Republican response was quite surprising. She hit it really heavy in the closing.

 

[asaratis]

The shit-eating grin on her face is hard to look at.

So is Joe Biden's...

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Cathy McMorris Rodgers?

Never heard of her.

And still haven't.

She did better than Repub The Not Ready For Prime Time Players of past rebuttals but she never did get around to actually saying anything.

As for the president's speech - how will the R lie about Gitmo, jobs, immigration and all the rest. He took that away from them. Their faces are red tonight and they're all trying to figure out how to weasel out of their past lies.

And, our First Lady sitting with a badly injured veteran while the Rs invited the duck dynasty - that pretty much says it all.

 

[Procrustes Stretched]

On one hand you have a Republican Congressman inviting Duck Dynasty to the SOTU. On the other you have Obama honoring a war hero. Then you wonder why we can't get anything done in Congress.

Great post.

Brilliant post.

Summed up the problem with the Tea Bags and their hate mongering.


Who is really decisive.

ditto

 

[hazlnut]

Who is this lady?

The President just made his speech and she's already able to parse it and have a different solution.

This is divisive. They are playing to the far-right.

Thankfully CBS is NOT broadcasting this.

NBC - no.

ABC is the Goldbergs. Thank God.

No one should take these partisan hack speeches seriously.

Tonight was the SOTU.

American's listen to their president and not these hack freaks after the fact with their partisan divisive attack speeches.

 

[hazlnut]

Three more rebuttals by the Right, still to come. She was boring, yes.

Thankfully, most networks are ignoring the hackery.

 

[TheOldSchool]

She's got a friendly face. I approve

 

[Luddly Neddite]

The amount of religious invocation in the Republican response was quite surprising. She hit it really heavy in the closing.

And, she didn't know a thing about what is in the Constitution.

Shameful.

Where are the speech writers or others who actually know our Constitution?

 

[PixieStix]

If he would of kept it all Americans = win.

He lost when it broke us into groups.

He has always done that...nothing new

 

[Procrustes Stretched]

The shit-eating grin on her face is hard to look at.

So is Joe Biden's...

except Biden wasn't representing the GOP to the world.

 

[Jughead]

The President also conveniently did not mention the fact that we have the least productive congress in the history of congress.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

And, why didn't that R woman SAY anything?

Don't they have speech writers who could make it look like there was some substance to her speech?

That was a disaster.

 

[Procrustes Stretched]

Cathy McMorris Rodgers?

Never heard of her.

She's a mom and recently had another child.

I would have thought they'd pick a bigger "rising star" to deliver the "Response".

looks like they tried to not be embarrassed by their rising stars.

then we have the wingnuts coming on soon.

 

[theDoctorisIn]

The shit-eating grin on her face is hard to look at.

So is Joe Biden's...

Biden looked like he was trying to keep himself from falling asleep, and make sure he remembered to stand up when he was supposed to.

As if he was in Church.

 

[TemplarKormac]

Wow. Biggest whopper I heard him tell tonight was:

"We've cut our deficits in half."

After that the rest of it didn't matter.
