Who Plans to Watch SOTU Tomorrow Night?

[GannonFan]

I'm thinking Presidents should start writing letters to Congress again

Well, Wilson's the one who picked up the idea to give a speech again, so we've had a good run at it for a century or so now. I'm fine with it going back to paper.

Old heads

I always thought that it was interesting that in the age of social media and the 24/7 news cycle that publicly broadcasted SOTU speeches were still a thing.

I know its "tradition" and all, but its not like members of Congress don't have access to a television

Let me give you guys a sneak peak (spoiler alert).

1. Cherry-picked stats showing the economy is in amazing shape. There's a lot of work to do, republicans must work with me so I can continue to work my magic.

2. Taking credit for falling gas prices. Citing latest natural disasters and weather anomalies as examples of climate change destroying the world. Fracking and corn fuel and wind and solar will save us…we don't need no stinkin' nuclear power.

3. The story of Joe Schmoe who is alive today because of the ACA. The ACA and the means used to pass it are beyond reproach because of this. Why do ACA opponents hate the poor and people with preexisting conditions?

4. How great the free CC plan will be, with no mention of how to pay for it and that states will probably have to cut money from 4-year schools to pay for it and the federal government will tax college funds.

5. Something about immigration and a story about some hispanic that became a scientist or neurosurgeon.

6. Blah blah blah equal work for equal pay blah blah blah women's health care abortion War on Wimmyn™. Systematic extermination of young black men by police.

This is probably spot on.

Yep. Like I said on the other thread- should said here. Can add:
-Call for a huge non defense discretionary spending increase, which would do away with sequestration.
- Call for a huge tax increase on the so called 'rich'.
-Might briefly mention terrorism but won't say the word Islamic "Extremism/Extremist" or make any acknowledgement that the terrorism has anything to do with Islam..

Jill Stein...

You're as realistic er ahem I mean deluded as the Paulies

Yeah because that's why I voted for Jill Stein because "I'm deluded"
I really think she's got a shot



No people No... no no
I voted for Jill Stein (and continue to say: Jill Stein) Because it doesn't really matter who you vote for
The candidates ALL SUCK BADLY (not Baldy... BADLY)

And anybody voting for them - that come forth from this process
Can't seriously believe any good will come of it

I watch. I used to watch Clinton's SOTU not liking him at all but come away thinking he was alright. I watched Obamas first one where he attacked the Supreme Court. And was put off. The pomp and circumstance is interesting. But I can't watch someone lying to the public openly. Without charisma.

Not to sound like spandos but, how'd camera's get the exact moment he yelled, "you lie!" Maybe there are camera's on the audience just in case something happens.

Nice compilation of each of O's SOTU, the promises, the results...

Blah blah blah blah blah. For those of you not watching.

What gets me most is the way this guy who has NO clue lectures everybody with respect to what we should do. Just makes assertion after assertion about the way things are and the way things work when he's pretty much wrong every time he opens his mouth.

Good LORD it's hard to take having somebody like this be President. REALLY speaks poorly of the nation that he was ever elected once much less twice.

Spoken by the party not holding the presidency during every State of the Union ever.

Pretty much.

Same sentiment was held in SOTU 2007, SOTU 1999, SOTU 1987 and so on and so forth.

"He's such a dreamy man! I love him.

What?

Who cares about that POTUS stuff! I hope he gets
re-elected forever!

Obama: "Republicans, here is a list of things you better not put on my desk, because I won't hear of it and will veto it immediately. Also, all this polarization in our government is a problem and one we will put an end to, we must cross party lines and work together!!"

Flyers Penguins were on.

Flyers Penguins were on.

That's what I watched. Some damn good fights too.

[LeadBolt]

Moonshiners on Discovery. At least those toothless hillbillies show more ingenuity and drive than Obama with no less intelligence and desire to work within the legal system than he exhibits...

Reruns of The Waltons. Then Iowa-Wisconsin hoops.

[93henfan]

Pron. Lots and lots of pr0n. Didn't have enough pocket change for a darkie ho.

[HI54UNI]

Better than Obama but not much.

That was about the "whitest" basketball game I've ever seen.
