Title: 2010 State of the Union Address (live thread)
Post by: Linda on January 27, 2010, 09:55:04 AM
Remember when Rep. Joe Wilson shocked shouted, "You lie!" after the president denied that health care legislation would provide free coverage for illegals.

Rep Joe Wilson was admonished for doing that...how dare he be so disrespectful of the president... :sarcasm:

Well I was listening to the radio either Neil Boortz or Rush...anyway, one of the callers suggested that all the Republicans bust out in laughter EVERY TIME obama tells a lie.....

That would not only let the democrats know we think this jerk wad is a low life lying SOB, but everyone watching and every news clip would show him being laughed at for his outrageous lies to the people.

I'm ready. Hope I get to see it. I have to spend tonight with the girlfriend, but hopefully I can catch part of it. Of course, I can probably watch the highlights and still fill up my bingo board.

I'm going to be hurting tomorrow...

Hi,

I have several hundred channels to view between our satellite and cable providers.  I think I would much prefer to watch test pattern than a lying son-of-a-bitch who will do nothing other than to raise my blood pressure as I to scream at him that he is lying.

My guess is that a lot of the American people tonight will decide they have much better things to do...maybe floss their teeth or clean the bath tub or something much more imporant than watch the BO fairy tale hour.

regards,

Obama mentions Haiti   

Text “Haiti” to the number 90999 and donate $10 to the Red Cross

That alone might drive me into bankruptcy, considering it's probably the only thing he hasn't turned into a soup sandwich--YET.  Nah, he wouldn't milk Haiti for political gain, would he???  (/sarc)

Before the POTUS hurts himself patting himself on the back for fiscal restraint . . .   [Michael Graham]

Here are the actual numbers from the Wall Street Journal today:

In 2007, before the recession, federal expenditures reached $2.73 trillion. By 2009 expenditures had climbed to $3.52 trillion. In 2009 alone, overall federal spending rose 18%, or $536 billion. Throw in a $65 billion reduction in debt service costs due to low interest rates, and the overall spending increase was 22%.

In one year.

"Last week, the Supreme Court reversed a century of law to open the floodgates for special interests — including foreign corporations — to spend without limit in our elections," Obama said. "Well I don’t think American elections should be bankrolled by America’s most powerful interests, or worse, by foreign entities. They should be decided by the American people, and that’s why I’m urging Democrats and Republicans to pass a bill that helps to right this wrong."

Hi,

Well I did not watch the speech.  Sounds to me like it was totally predictible, business as usual, and in the post remarks Palin flat out showed a thing where the chief justice of the supreme court mouthed, "that's not true".....and Palin mentioned that what do you do when the president lies...

This is one time I suspect the public has a hard time knowing when he is NOT lying.  Kinda like the guy was a drunk but you never knew it until one day you saw him sober. 

Sure the democrats tried to cover for him, and the republican pundits were polite in their criticism, but looks to me like he is living up to the name lord zero, has no clue, and nothing has changed.  One democrat pundit said the democrats running for reelection were looking for direction.  My suggestion is for them to run in the opposite direction, this guy is beyond repair.

I still think we have not seen the worst of the backlash, just wait until the trials start in New York it is really going to hit the fan.

Oh, come on 5412, surely you cannot be so disparaging of our hero, our savior - Buck Ofama, and his trusty sidekick, Joke Biden, eager young space cadet, can you?

Hi,

I quit drinking decades ago.  The man would not qualify to run a McDonalds much less be president of this country.  He is like many I have met that affirmative action moved along the system, they think they are a lot better than they really are because of the system.

Read somewhere where there is much suspicion that BO is a commie puppet and they were wondering who was pulling the strings.  At first I thought it to be a bit far out but I am not so sure anymore. 

He is an incompetent, narcissic, fool.

Later I will tell you how I really feel.

regards,
5412

There is one group of peoplen the Government that is not now or ever up for reelection, and the president just pissed on their shoes.

Let's see the SCOTUS rules with obumles...ever again.


Some constitutional scholar, eh?

I'm pretty sure that George Soros had a hand in his selection, and Soros is a well known socialist.

I like that guy.

Quote
Obama’s world leadership in his first year in office has been weak-kneed and little short of disastrous. He has sacrificed the projection of American power upon the altar of political vanity, with empty speeches and groveling apologies across the world, from Strasbourg to Cairo. He has appeased some of America’s worst enemies, and has extended the hand of friendship to many of the most odious regimes on the face of the earth. Judging by the State of the Union address tonight, we can expect more of the same from an American president who seems determined to lead the world’s greatest power along a path of decline.

I think you're underestimating the guy.  He's much worse that just a common socialist.  This guy's ego is ten times the size of bhozo's.  Take a look at how he got to where he is today, insider trading and schemes to devalue England's currency make up the majority of his wealth.  The only plausible reasoning behind his philanthropy and issues he supports is to get his one world gov't in place so that common people won't be able to financially rise up like he did, and like it or not, money is power.  There's not toilet/sewer system that could handle flushing a piece of sh!t his size.

Last week, the Supreme Court reversed a century of law to open the floodgates for special interests – including foreign corporations – to spend without limit in our elections. Well I don’t think American elections should be bankrolled by America’s most powerful interests, or worse, by foreign entities. They should be decided by the American people, and that’s why I’m urging Democrats and Republicans to pass a bill that helps to right this wrong.

This was a constitutional decision. Unless he has in mind an amendment to the Constitution, there isn't much they can do legally. This case concerned political advertising, not contributions.

From the SCOTUS decision:

Quote
When Government seeks to use its full power, including the criminal law, to command where a person may get his or her information or what distrusted source he or she may not hear, it uses censorship to control thought. This is unlawful. The First Amendment confirms the freedom to think for ourselves.


(Read Justice Scalia's decision- he addresses Stevens' discussion of the Founding Fathers intent. Brilliant!)

The audacity of leftist democrat presidents who rebuke the Constitution they are supposed to uphold and protect. I'm sure he thought by calling out the Supreme Court in such a high profile venue that he could garner public support to sway them. He couldn't be more wrong. It's hard to believe that he asked for their support to "fix" a problem "they created" with that ruling.

Hi Thundley,

Funny but I paused when I made that post last night and thought about Soros.  My thoughts were that it was a Soros state of the union message.  What the hell did we expect BO to say really?  He was trying to do the same thing that Chavez did in Venezuela and the American people are on to him, a few days before the state of the union message they nailed him in MA.  Oops!

If one still could find their old decoder rings they would have been handy.  He said something about not being a quitter and not giving up on health care from what I read in the paper.  Now does that not decode to "shit! we almost pulled it off.  I won't quit trying to shove it down the people's throat when they are not looking!"

This is not time for the public to relax, we need our tea party movement to get stronger and LOUDER.  We are going to be in Washington on 8/28 with Glenn Beck making our point.

A look at some of Obama's claims and how they compare with the facts:

THE FACTS: The anticipated savings from the [spending freeze] proposal would amount to less than 1 percent of the deficit — and that's if the president can persuade Congress to go along.

OBAMA: Discussing his health care initiative, he said, "Our approach would preserve the right of Americans who have insurance to keep their doctor and their plan."

THE FACTS: The Democratic legislation now hanging in limbo on Capitol Hill aims to keep people with employer-sponsored coverage — the majority of Americans under age 65 — in the plans they already have. But Obama can't guarantee people won't see higher rates or fewer benefits in their existing plans.

The important point is the total.......only about 29 million viewers in total viewed the speech......I think that the final episode of last years "American Idol" drew that share or better......

Okay....here is what I got out of Zero's speech last night.

1.  He basically told Republican senators to "get in line" and stop voting NO.
2.  He insulted the SCOTUS and got democrats to stand up and applaud it.
3.  He is the usual cocky SOB elitist thug.
4.  He is going to continue on with his plans, regardless of the Massachussetts outcome, or political setbacks.
5.  He has no intention of moving to the center.
6.  He has no regard for the will of the people, as most dictators don't.
7.  He is going to increase spending this year, but freeze it next year.
8.  His veto pen has no ink.

After watching the speech last night, it just made me hate Obama more.

He said the same things he always says. He pointed fingers at everyone for all the problems, and only blamed himself for not explaining things better to the American people.
What a load of crap.

Charles Krauthammer just said that his policy on trying enemy combatants in civilian courts as idiotic.

Obama blatantly lied about the court decision overturning McCain/Feingold would allow foreign entities.

Obama blames Bush for the defecit, yet he tripled it, and voted for TARP.

He throws a bone to his liberal base with his gay service rederic. Gay people can serve, as long as they don't share their gayness. WTF is the problem there?


---------

Obama had a moment to admit mistakes, change course, but instead he wants to stay his liberal course. I figured he was smarter than that.
Fine, not a wise decision. It just means people will vote his ass out.
