State of the Union Address

McCraven (head of SpecOps) was there. Here's the rest:

Well, they can all look forward to months of being berated by the screech machine as "lobster-eating cronies" of the party animal Obamas.

 

Facts have a well-established liberal bias.

 

Loved that shot. What a petulant, disingenuous, shiv-wielding little turd. It's going to be great to see him get his, in the last reel.

 

They have to talk about SOMETHING . . . and it's why, even though I'm addicted to the process, I won't watch the talkers every day, because the shit-stirring just to stir shit is beyond tiresome (and Politico is the chief offender, by MILES).

 

So many are doing it . . . but it would seem to be just window dressing, and I wouldn't expect a follow-up . . . this year, anyway.

 

The reason the President congratulated Panetta when he arrived at the SOTU. It wasn't about lower energy usage.

Did any of the laid-off Solyndra employees get a seat at the SOTU?

Just wondering...

 

Bill Clinton was a masterful pol but his legacy is now engrained in American politics: bring in someone down on their luck for a speech, "Jim Wilson is a single mom, raising 11 kids in a shoe after his sex change..."

So the POTUS talks up the finished wars, job training, hitting up the rich for more taxes, penalizing banks for mortgages, keeping troublemakers in high schools instead of letting them go elsewhere.

No talk of health care or shovel-ready stimulus jobs. What is he going to run on? I was disappointed he didn't call for Cash For Clunkers II.

Even with my diatribe, I still think he wins on November.

 

Actually, the shoutout to the 'ordinary hero' in the gallery began with President Reagan.

As did so many other things that his would-be heirs now claim to abhor.

 

It seems like the State of the Union shout out has jumped the shark. It's has become a rogues gallery of the Lifetime channel.

Having Warren Buffet's secretary there seemed like a cheap stunt.Maybe Buffet should pay her more money and her tax rate would be less of an issue.

The poor lady from the jobs training center in Charlotte looked she needed her teeth fixed. She was afraid to smile.

I wonder how Lauren Jobs felt when Obama was vilifying the current Apple business model of outsourced manufacturing. " I want to give a shout out to Lauren Jobs, her dearly departed husband is responsible for sending 500,000 manufacturing jobs to China."
