Ain't watching that crap.
Just reporting beforehand what the MSM reaction will be.
Ain't no point in wasting your time when you have to wait for others to tell you what to think anyway.

BFD! I've heard enough of the usurper's bullshit. The economy is in a shambles, housing and construction suck, fuel prices are climbing, unemployment is in double digits and leftist psychos are slaughtering people in store parking lots.. Try to make that look good!

Are you sure you are not talking about the Bush years?

I watched it, i enjoyed it because I enjoy hearing Obama speak, but I didn't see anything remarkable or ground-breaking. It was your run-of-the-mill SOTU, somewhat subdued and less specific than years past and certainly nothing like Clinton's 1995 speech. Obama continues to show that he's the adult in the room, which is why is his approval ratings are going up now that he's got a bunch of loons in the opposition.
Even Rasmussen now has Obama at a 52% approval rating with a -5 strong disapprove, his best showing since 9/09.
Since January 3, 2011, Republicans have controlled the power of the purse.
I enjoyed it too. He was very good tonight as he clearly showed he has command and focus of a president in charge and who knows how to lead and lead well.
Gnu Ghoul will be too busy primping and admiring his happy to be him self in the mirror to do anything, never mind watch the state of the union speech by the President.

What a joke! 2 fookin years of Obama and a lib congress and what are the results? Double digit unemployment, construction and housing in the crapper, economy in a shambles and fuel and food prices skyrocketing.

It certainly helps that he's followed by a woman who doesn't know when slavery ended.

Did anyone watch the crazy lady? I'm sorry to say I missed her performance.
No, life is too short.
You know, one thing that disappointed me about the speech was the lack of specifics. I understand he's posturing against the GOP and waiting for them to take the first move, but I'm disappointed he didn't have more specifics on tax reform (not just corporate, but individual as well). It was also a dereliction of duty to avoid mentioning climate change as we wrap up the warmest year on record.
FWIW, Ryan was short on specifics, he seems to have forgotten all about that roadmap he wrote.

He spoke to the center while Ryan did a good job regurgitating right wing talking points.

Mikey,....I personally do not mind your vested interest in the various organizations you participate in. I really really enjoyed my time in Oregon,....I'd love to have a place on the coast and watch the fog sit till near noon,...with the heavy cedar fragrence in the air. Before my retirement/pension/disability., I spent decades in the bush,climbing mountains,photography. Ya,...I do not want corporations running around despoiling all that.
Yet I know its true,....is Fact* as discovered by Norman Dodds 1950's congressional reece commission findings into the Foundations. and so recorded by him to G Edward Griffin. That from 1908 [there abouts] Carnegie Foundation sought to entangle America in foreign wars to reshape the nation. and that the nations Judiciary and Education should be taken over by the Foundations,..and then lists out other Foundations participation. So ya,....it is a socialist agenda which openly states the USA is to merge with the Soviet Union.
I cannot support that path. That is a coup,..and is against the very heart of the US Constitution. It is an act which is done without consent of the Public,..and then becomes Intrigues as Politicians lie and conspire against their very own people.
Obama is a Wallstreet drop in to the Whitehouse. The Foreign bankers and US Jeckyll Island Fed are conspiring against the nation. Freedoms are dissapearing ...from overt EPA/UN Agenda 21 practice,...to the fake war on terror and Homeland Reich. America is getting both socialism and fascism now.

Obama should have on his first year in office - and I don't know why he did not other than I assume his allies were the Wall Street types from Goldman Sachs - declared a New New Deal. Maybe build America around "speed" theme, faster trains, faster internet, faster roads. Now it seems like life support politics.
The GOP has zero ideas of course other than the market left alone will solve it but what has it solved? I see it caused disaster left unchecked.

The GOP response to that is that it wasn't free enough.

I am not sure what your point here is you wish me to address or clarify. I spoke in general on how I felt Obama did in his speech tonight, and how well he preforms and who runs against him will determine if he gets my vote or if indeed I will vote in the 2012 Presidential election.
I am very unhappy with many things about how things are done in the world and the USA and why they do things that way.
But from my vantage point your post is kinda all over the ball park. So clarify please, thanks.
I notice in lurking eLPee a we bit ago you are a poster there, did you or are you a poster at TOS? Just curious, mind you.
His speech was affected by the divisive climate created by the tongue in cheek racists known as the birfers and the clueless idiots in the tea flea faction. I expected it to be a safe, fairly general speech, and that would signal he was giving a very high priority to making bi-partisanship work if at all possible.
There were many things I would of loved to see him address, but I generally understand why his speech was as it was tonight.
Looking at the post count skips in thread, I see one of the two on my bozo is whining like a skinny puppy. I can see now why so many like this feature now.
I sure don't have an need to see pointless one liner insults and childish innuendo. ;-D

First,...and its not to be rude I generally post in a form which speaks to lurkers on threads,...with board participation secondary.
I listed out the Socialist Foundations history...so that others could go google that themselves if in doubt.
I mentioned your public service interests so as to let you know I had read about that,...and thus mentioned my Eartherness : )
There are of course people who are simply Democrats who voted Obama cuz they hate Bush Crime family,...do not want wars,...do not want the nation doing the fascist thingy on everyone in corporate graft,...and to the peoples at home. So ya....thats fine with me. Recently however,....I've noticed a few real die hard Commies show up at LF and gloat. Some others who appear mild socialists,..I suspect are raging commies too. Obama becomes the litmus test in my opinion as to where someones world political views rest. He's either Karl Marx champion we can do it. or just another Democrat in the game we call American politics.
I know Obama is a Banker cut out. I would luv it if he were truly independent,.....A Black Man leading the Nation Just as Black Pharaohs ruled Egypt. Blacks have been thru hell in their journey called America. they so deserve to have a Black President. and....Americans all should support that.
Tragically....I see Obama as a Foundation cut out and a wrecker. He's a wrecker just as Bush was. Both do as told.... The Elites play every paradigm possible Obama is not doing what he said he would,...he lied like Bush,...and the wars continue,...Gitmo,..the Banker looting,...all of it.
America has to throw both these false houses off.....or its gonna end up actual conflict mirror the Revolutionary war. This time....the Goob will be King George.
Being selfish,....it is my hope to help those on the left see the false foundation banker front. I try my best to be on the square. I was run off from TOS for exposing Bush crimes. I'm disliked at LP for that too. Yet,...I'm the real deal,....and if the left does not like my view or opinion they are free to challenge that. Canada is a socialist country with capitalism and the Queens power reach. the Gov is put in by Elites,....recently,...the Liberals run one feeble goof after another. Of course conservative socialist/stay the stauts quo Canadians will accept some foreign war and Harper,..over the weak opponents offered. so its the same game as Mclunatic/Palin,....its set up to be an uncontested win for Obama. Just as Canada's elections usually are quiet endings.
But still,...that Globalist North American Union,...SPP Continental Reich thing circles like a Vulture. Soon Canada will be faced with adopting Napolitano Homeland Reich. They have allready been trying to sneak that in,...with whistle blowers at least getting broad media attention to counter and wanting it debated in Parliament.
Thanks for the clarification. The only thing I was left unsure of is whether or not you are a U.S. citizen or Canadian.
I will answer this tomorrow as I'm on wifi, tired and the joint I'm at closes soon. I also find LF a somewhat difficult forum to lower my guard in and relax and post. There are many here who turn the place into something much like a Junior High recess without supervision place.
And I find doing relaxed, thoughtful posting where people have consideration for others including ideological opposites something that is more like swimming in molasses than water.
I have been hoping to see a few good conservatives join The-Peoples-forum.com as the ideology is no barrier there. But testiness, distrust and contentiousness from both those joining, and some already there have made that hard to see happen.
I cut my posting teeth on open forums where people of all political stripe belonged to the virtual community, and I have seen that work really well. And I miss that. It would be nice to see you there, and I would guard your flanks as I did with Sneakypete when he visited should you want to join onto the mix at another venue.
But that is up to you, and I will leave it at that.
I am skilled at forum posting and never expect to see someone whom I engage in discussion to be converted to my point of view. I know it's always wise to aim at the lurker element.
And the hardest part of posting at TOS, eLPee and other venues was to learn to really be quick to put on the verbal brass knuckles. I am very laid back by nature and my posting start-up self of 1995 would be quickly chewed up in a joint like this one. My real time activist activities are a big part of this tempering of my political skin too I should add.
Tim McCarthy (no relation) a Eugene Police sergeant whom I know well was quoted in the second article in the local paper after I nearly died in my fall said -- and I paraphrase -- "Mr. McCarthy has often criticized us at EPD and the local government, but he has also praised us when he felt we had done good work." I appreciated that, and I prefer to try to always value anyone for agreement, disagreement, or even the good and bad about them as I am always mindful I am human and not perfect too.
I posted on TOS for years because if this balance, and only when the joint to an unmercifully hard turn to the right and took a one track minded eye to the interests of those they spin politically for was I banned there.
Though really to be fair, Time.Com/Politics, my favorite forum had just been closed and I didn't help either by occasionally being snappish to some there because of my sadness to see the Time magazine venue close. None of us are perfect, though we soon learn in forum to be careful to act like we are. ;-D
In any event, that is just to frame out my perspective which is a very easy thing for me to do as I am always mindful of how I want posting venues and people to be v. the way they are currently in the context of the Internet.
Have a good night and I'll get to answering the political points of your post tomorrow. Cheers.

The-Peoples-forum.com is as close to that free thinking environment you will get that is from the old right wing pre George Bush.
With that said, sneakypete - and I know his posting history from way back, went crazy by sticking around Libertypost too long and taking on their bad habits.
He lost his ability to argue a point without insult, etc and I can see spending time on there caused him to lose his faculties.
Sorry, sneaky. That is how I see it. I pinged you as a courtesy only. I am not seeing a response from you because I know it will be lame and predictable. You, can surprise me of course and reform yourself but I doubt it.

Sneakypete has a right to his opinions. And he is not abusive, has a delightful sense of humor and I have known and trusted him since the mid ninties. He has lost nothing in terms of his abilities to be a responsible poster.
If he decides to return and try to post at the People's Forum again, be advised I will defend his right to be there. And if people are inappropriately ugly toward him, I will be ugly right back.
