Obama's state of the union.

Do you think the teleprompter got any sleep last night? That machine must be so nervous it doesn't screw up tonight.

This is the night the president attempts to reinvent himself and get back some of that waning popularity. It will be interesting..
 
He should come out and say, "Massachusetts, you let me down." That would be my opening line.

He should announce an immediate end to the Middle East occupations and declare he wants all troops home in 6 months. :hatsoff:

He has to start getting real, tangible "victories" based on what he campaigned on and based on what he was voted in on by the Majority...
 
I hate watching those. With Bush it was just the Republicans applauding the entire time. With Obama, it'll just be the Democrats. All it ever shows me is how split and child-like our government is that it is irritating. I'll just look up the summary the next day. More than likely I'll just go out and drink
 
Nope, sick of our government right left upside down backwards what ever they are. They all lie they all make false promises and "hope". Don't need to hear republicans shout at him and dem's hang on his every word. Makes me pretty sick.

Down with the 2 party system IMO!
 
Whatever you think about him, he's doing a bang up fricking speech. He's relaxed, conversational, and in no way painful to watch speak.

Been a while since we've had a State of the Union address.
 
Did he really just claim that the improved security disrupted the Christmas attempt to blow up a plane??? WTF???

He's bringing all of the troops home from Iraq by August. I bet those grades that people were handing out just jumped up a bit, huh?

I'm not watching it. Wake me up when Obama starts leading on what he campaigned for :sleep:

Agreed. :thumbsup: Time to man up, dude.

Yep! Dead on center, J&C! :thumbsup:

He's an awesome orator and very inspirational leader. If only he would just DO it instead of just SAY it.

Not what he said. He's bringing all the combat troops home by August. There will be support troops there until 2011. That's the plan, has been for a while.

We have support troops in hundreds of countries as it is. No big deal. Combat troops are the ones that need to get the fuck out of there.

PS - Did anyone else notice the stone faces on the Armed Forces members in the audience during Obama's announcement that he was going to work with Congress to repeal "don't ask, don't tell"...??? That was pretty serious.
 
He'll get a little bump out of this. All presidents do. The American public will be back to reality on or about April 15.

No, they'll be back to reality in 2 days when they realize we're still stuck with him as President for 3 more years.
 
"Let us find a way to come together and finish the job for the American people."

Does this mean he will own up to his campaign promise and not have closed-door meetings anymore for healthcare? Will he actually invite Senators & Representatives from BOTH parties to meetings to work out a plan? Will he finally allow C-Span to broadcast these meetings?
