health care isn't enough... now we need state-provided child care too! and free college so the high-school dropout welfare queens can dump the kids off and smoke a legal doobie while pretending to be at 'junior college'.
Actually, Bill Clinton set the record for the longest SOTU address. Obama didn't come close last night.
But I think we all would have preferred a different result.
Right when the House Doorkeeper said, "Mister Speak..." the screen whites out.
Then we all hear a voice--a man's cold, implacable voice, the kind we hear only rarely on the airwaves today, if at all--saying:
"Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Obama will not speak to you tonight. His time is up. I have taken it over. You were to hear a report on the State of the Union. That is exactly what you are going to hear..."
This was no State of the Union address. This was a proclamation, a declaration of political war, and a threat. A threat couched in the most pathetic of terms: "Yes, but..."
Any psychiatrist knows how his clients often play that game.
I don't really see her as having national appeal. She gave a good generic speech. I did like the part where she said bills will be passed in the house and senate and then the pres will veto. Her camo heals did nothing for me.
Ginsberg as always looked ridiculous in her Pharaoh wanna be collar. I lost count of the lies he told in under 2 minutes. His 'I have no more campaigns to run. I won the last 2 comment' really rankled me. Arrogant asshat!!! and lots of other unlady like words strung together.
Thanks Kathy. I like to listen without the spin but it was tough. It's amazing to me that after 6 years he still has no respect for the office he holds and the damage he is doing.
I just couldn't do it. We watched the Ted Talk freedom posted instead. What do you think about letting a new senator give the response? is that typical?
