Transcript: Obama's State Of The Union Address 2014

I think Mr. Boehner may be going out with a bang will have a ****-it year.
He's not just doggin Mr. Obama as intransigent.
He's blaming his own caucus by saying He did as they wanted him to.

Now that he has committed himself to that position, and the ground beneath him has shifted, he's stuck holding the bag.

I believe the GOP message will be sharper after this retreat they're at in MD.
DEMs are giving up on the House but better not lose too many House seats.

He's nothing if not a consummate politician, so perhaps he can dig himself out, but I don't see how. He just may have to be sacrificed along with those who sucked him in, to the rebuilding of the party. I frankly would hate to be in his shoes.

When you have Senators like Cruz as part of your House caucus, you haven't won anything in 2014 yet,
and the GOP faces far more divisive primaries and a greater number of both TEA and RINO primaries than DEMs .

Mr. Boehner has the ****tiest job in DC.
He needs all of our prayers .
 

If there is going to be an immediate future resurgence of the GOP, they certainly did their best to hide it at their response to the state of the union. Do you think that that was strategy?
 
The quality of the SOTU responses to Mr. Obama have been abysmal.
Only an imperial lawless King could have mind-melded with these clowns to cause such lack of stage presence.
The individual one-liners of ALL the GOP members to the SOTU was a gift that will give again .

Strategy or incompetence?
 
"And when ninety-eight percent of our exporters are small businesses, new trade partnerships with Europe and the Asia-Pacific will help them create more jobs."

What a crock of ****. It's that kind of thing that is killing jobs in the USA.

"Every four minutes, another American home or business goes solar; every panel pounded into place by a worker whose job can't be outsourced."

Solar Panels made in China.
 

From http://www.trade.gov/cs/factsheet.asp

"Small and medium-sized companies account for 98 percent of U.S. exporters, but represent less than one-third of the known export value of U.S. goods’ exports. (In 2010, there were over 293,000 identified U.S. exporters (269,269 of which were small or medium-sized))."

Quite a difference from what was reported in the note that you were responding to.

There is absolutely no justification for continued democrat rule in the Senate and WH as the results show so the best you can do is attack the House based upon your own ignorance of economic data and results.

Remember 2009. Consider today. Nothing but up.

Remember 2000. Recall 2009. Nothing but down.

Mere happenstance?

Not likely.

Interesting how the data doesn't support your claims especially the data today 5 years after the end of the recession. Post data, not opinions and further realize where the data comes from. What effect did the Democrat Controlled Congress have on the economic results in 2007-2009?

Again, we're talking about the IDEOLOGICAL idea of saying that since congress wont give the President what he wants, he'll do it anyway. Was that the argument used by your examples? I dont recall Bush ever saying that.

So, let me get this straight: You're pissed that the President of the United States who happens to be a Democrat puffed out his chest and challenged a Congress filled with ideologically obstructive Republicans to do their job?

C'mon, man! Give me a break.
 

Oh, good Lord, the absolute ignorance of civics here is staggering. A house filled with Obstructive Republicans? What do you call Reid and the Senate? What do you call "My way or the highway" Obama? You really have been brainwashed. Do you ever place blame on Democrats for anything?
 

This is interesting: Bush Pushes Agenda Without Congress (from 2007) Bush pushes agenda without Congress - politics | NBC News

From the article:
Outgoing presidents often unleash a flurry of executive orders and regulations in a last-minute attempt to leave their mark on U.S. policy. Frustrated by Congress’ inability or unwillingness to pass the president’s agenda, the administration already is taking steps to do it through executive action....

Bush said it was an example of acting within the boundaries of existing law when Congress failed to act.

sound familiar??
 

Did you support what you claim Bush did?

I'm not making any claim. I am just sharing buzz that was out there about him and every other President when they were in office and used EOs. People are claiming the EO's originated with Obama, which is inaccurate. They are also claiming that he is abusing them, which is a claim leveled against every other President that used them.

Point being, maybe the problem is EO's and not this President.
 

none of any previous Administration EO's ever changed existing law such as Obama has done with Obamacare and the minimum wage paid on Government contracts. Congress controls the purse strings and it is the job of the President to enforce the laws passed.
 


I understand what you're saying, but I think you're above post containing the case rulings is a little misleading.

While it apparently is true that certain departments of the federal government have been taken to court and lost, it's unfair to suggest that every action a department head [Secretary/Director) took were the direct result of an Executive Order issued by the POTUS. It's understandable how someone would assume such to be the case, but often times such actions are the result of misapplication of certain provisions of the law OR folks simply overstepping their bounds. The logical conclusion, of course, is if this is happening at the department level the "head of the snake" is doing it, too. But here again I say if that were truly the case, wouldn't the President have been impeached by now or had a SC rule against him?
 

There are limitations to what a President can do using an EO. I'm pretty sure they have to go through judicial review and may be struck down if deemed by the courts to be unsupported by statute or the Constitution (just clipped this from wikipedia)

Except for the elections we recently had.
GOPea-brains, not aimed at you, continue to refuse to say whether Mr. Obama is a "legitimate" President.
That word "legitimate" was used by Aiken also.

Very little will be accomplished until most of the TEA/RINO primaries are over.
Please tell me when you guys can agree with yourselves so we can then try to work with you .
 

E-X-A-C-T-L-Y!

It's okay when the President whose has a House majority does it, but when it's a President with a House minority suddenly he's acting like an tyrant, a dictator, a King, an Empirical President. :roll:

You have to be kidding, our community agitator President is totally and completely incompetent as the results show and yet results don't seem to matter. Here we are five years into this Presidency and people like you are still making excuses for Obama failures. Did you support what you believe Bush did with EO's?
 

Is your post the kind of data that you are referring to?
 

You're right. These improvements to the economy are bull****.

Economically, Could Obama Be America's Best President? - Forbes

Although we hear almost no one in the Obama administration taking credit for record index highs, they should. Because the President deserves attention for how well this economy has done during his leadership.
 

Obama has a 43 percent Job Approval rating, has added almost 7 trillion to the debt, has high unemployment/under employment/discouraged workers, stagnant economic growth, 2 million fewer people working today than when the recession began and this qualifies him for America's best President's. Such low standards people like you have. Please tell me what economic policy Obama has implemented that has benefited you and your family along with the economy in general?
 

Which of Obama's policies caused $7T in debt. Be specific.
