“The State of the Union address, and the follow-up response by the opposing party, have become nothing more than stage-managed spectacles. They have become devoid of any substantive meaning, in much the same way as political party conventions.”
“”hell, if we’re gonna sit there and get worked over by the President, we’d just as soon get our asses spanked by someone who knows what their doing!”
They’ll be waiting for a cold day in hell.
It’s obvious that we are all going to interpret the speech based on our perceived political notions. What I find interesting is the idea that Republicans are operating in a vacuum. No accepting responsibility for the mess they made, no acknowledgement that Obama was elected and is the President of this country, no conceding that the Bush Admininstration wrote the book on how to run your country into the ground in 8 easy lessons, no attempt to do anything other than obstruct. Well, they may not agree with his agenda, but this is the way democracy works. The people vote, and the government is supposed to do what the people say. Never works that way but but blaming Obamma for what Congress can’t or won’t do is ridiculous.
“what the hell was wrong about the Virginia legislature’s house as a forum for a Republican response?”
I’ll tell you what…It looked like they were setting up a Banana Republic! As is the statement was: A Coup is coming anyday now, people! The South/Republicans will finally secede! It was a joke, legion.
“I thought it was a brilliant move, as well as putting all the American of different races behind the Governor,”
All TWO of them?! LOL!!
survivorsucks have much better comments about obama’s speech. and they are funny, and no one holds back!
*rob*

You should all view this to get a good idea what a really great SOTU address is!!!!!!
c-gar, sounds like you’ll be working with my friend Bee. Take PATH back to 34th with her and we can do a weekly meet-up @ keens.
I’m still waiting to hear what your side comes up with as an alternative to what he’s attempting to do. “No, no, no, and it won’t work” don’t cut it.

Seems like Obama is just doing the same thing Bush was, including the wars.
CH;
I am a CSPAN junkie.
I actually enjoy watching political debate.
That is why I try not to waste my time and watch the State of the Union speech (regardless of which party is in power) and political conventions.
All theater. No real contest of ideas.
Wanna read something funny?
Take a look at the reader comments about Obama’s speech on foxnews.com

As for Democrats- get a set of balls, finally.
