Yes. Boehner looks like he's having an enema.
 
Obama is a windbag.

There is nothing of substance in any of this. It sounds good, all he speaks about is the gov't funding a bunch of crap. We don't have the money, bonehead. You spent it all. Get away from "the gov't is the answer to the countries problems" and change it to "the gov't is the SOURCE of the countries problems" and then people might want to listen to you.

Better than watching Pelosi who looked like she was back there having an orgasm.

Frankly, why bother to watch a speech that will sound like virtually every other speech or news conference we've heard for the past 3 years? Class warfare is his mantra, and division is his main gig. It gets pretty boring.
 

So you'd rather watch a man receive and enema than a woman have an orgasm? Interesting.
 
I am watching a couple hot russian blondes shrieking at one another. sure beats watching a puke doing his best to ruin our country

Did Obama just ban the G.E.D?
 
Damn. Once Obama leaves office, I hope he doesn't become a used car salesman in Houston. I would end up totally screwed. LOL.

Then you'll fit in like the perfect texan. Double-wide trailer and six cars in the front yard with 5 of them up on cinder blocks.

Yeah, biggest lie so far: "Warren Buffett's secretary pays more taxes than Warren Buffett." Puke.
Second biggest: "I'm going to make sure that banks help people refinance their homes. They can save $3,000 a year through refinancing. Banks should be doing this to pay back the American people!!" Puke.

That's a paraphrase, by the way. Here's the full text: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Stat...resident-obamas-full-speech/story?id=15430273

Me either, because republicans will not cooperate.

I'll be more impressed when either aprty actually does any of this. But you are correct that at this place and time, republicans won't cooperate. But I'm not convinced with cooperation it would happen anyway.

That said, we should still push our representatives to act on it. No sense us quiting.
 
Damn. Another James Bond movie in the works with a new arch nemesis for 007.

The Man With the Golden Tongue. :mrgreen:
 
Very strong speech so far
 
Damn, told Congress if that since they didn't act to address climate change, he would! He announced plans to open up 300 public lands for the development of alternative energy sources, powering a quarter of a million homes initially.

That'd be nice but I'll believe it when I see it. His definition of "clean energy" seems to shift too much. He was out there selling "clean coal" last election which is a total fraud. There is no such thing as "clean coal." Fossil fuels and nuclear energy are not forms of clean energy and if he tries to imply otherwise... he is wrong. And he's stated that natural gas, nuclear and clean coal are "clean energy" in the past. If that is what he opens up public lands for, screw 'em.

Want to bet how the fact check comes out on this?
 
After the speechy goosebumps wear off, most people eventually start lookin' around for evidence of American citizens becoming more prosperous.

It's been three years of nothing .. so, heck, let's give it another six months.

Pretty sure by then no neededly heroic prosperity-creating deeds will have been done.

Then we can focus on electing the Repub candidate in November ..

.. So he too can predictably repeat the same do-nothing-worthy behavior ..

.. Complete with thrilling speechs.
 

Hes provided more funding for clean energy than any president in history during his first year!

I liked the point about if a someone is getting a tax credit/break they DON'T NEED, then someone else is going to have to make up the difference.
