The State of the Union Address

[retro]

and it's looking more and more like I'll be voting third party again this year. Romney or Obama... ugh.

I'll probably vote to reelect him later this year.

I turned on the radio right after the speech and they had Herman Cain giving what they called the "Tea Party Response." It was really sickening.

Best speech I have heard for a long time...some nominee's of the Republican party could learn how to do it and it is done.
I am affraid they are all gonna be eaten a live when Obama's machine is going to run pretty soon.
Funny thing to watch the tie's Obama,Boehner and Biden were wearing.
Together they made the color of the American Flag.
I am glad as a NON American to show respect to your country and President.
The only way it should be and I feel sorry for those whom do not even have the manners,inteligence and behaviour other than only making sick and vulgair comments like there parents learned them nothings else.It is for sure not the way to bring your country back to what it once was but have you sliding to a direction of disrepect world wide.

Ps: Excellent Speech....I turned of the Republican reply after 5 min.This was not a reaction on a STATE of the Community but a re-heated dinner meal tasting ugly.
I realy loved the comment: “The USA subsidized oil company’s a 100 years to have them make record profits.....Lets make a start to stop that.
Also to have the secretary of Buffet sitting close to Michelle was a smart move.

Anyone who was in office when bin Laden was killed would use that card, not just him..

Seriously.

I'll be in class, I'll listen to NPR's coverage after...um...I predict a politician in an election year will be giving a speech
He'll make an indirect remark about Mitt Romney's revealing tax documents and use it to emphasize the need to tax the wealthiest percent, shared sacrifices, he'll probably talk a lot about the good he feels he's done, and basically tell us if we don't let him continue what he's doing, it will only get worse

HEY! I was right. If no one else will say it, I will :24:

Herman Cain is still making comments?

Just quoted Lincoln that gov't should only do for people what they can't do for themselves AND NOTHING MORE. He said it with a straight face and didn't choke at all ... Then says that with your help, I can do a whole lot more. WTF??!?

What he said

I'm a Democrat. But I believe what Republican Abraham Lincoln believed: That Government should do for people only what they cannot do better by themselves, and no more. That's why my education reform offers more competition, and more control for schools and States. That's why we're getting rid of regulations that don't work. That's why our health care law relies on a reformed private market, not a Government program.

On the other hand, even my Republican friends who complain the most about Government spending have supported federally-financed roads, and clean energy projects, and federal offices for the folks back home.

The point is, we should all want a smarter, more effective Government. And while we may not be able to bridge our biggest philosophical differences this year, we can make real progress. With or without this Congress, I will keep taking actions that help the economy grow. But I can do a whole lot more with your help. Because when we act together, there is nothing the United States of America can't achieve.

What Lincoln said

The legitimate object of government is to do for a community of people whatever they need to have done, but cannot do at all, or cannot so well do, for themselves in their separate and individual capacities.

This is discouraging. My question is, is this an indictment of the President or is it an indictment of our 2 party system?

Factions and parties will not suffer improvements to be made. As soon as one man hints at an improvement, his rival opposes it. No sooner has one party discovered or invented any ameliorations of the condition of man, or the order of society than the opposite party belies it, misconstrues it, misrepresents it, ridicules it, insults it, and persecutes it”~John Adams

"I don't know if you noticed, but our two-party system is a bowl of shit looking in the mirror at itself. Why would I be excited that a Democrat won? Seriously, over the past eight years the Democrats didn't do SHIT! Basically, the last eight years, I feel, the Republicans stood around farting; and the Democrats went "Ooh, let me smell it.".....Lewis Black

I've always Liked Lewis Black.
