Cool ad about the Sentries at the W.H. right now.

I just noticed something interesting at the video link - "A first ever feature you won't find anywhere else. Put President O's speech in context as he delivers it." Hmmm....their own translator/spin machine??? :lmao:

I could either watch the State of the Union address, or a movie about Knute Rockne and starring a real president that I recorded a couple of days ago.

Seems fairly obvious...

Well, I think instead of watching Zer0 I'll go read a good book. Hell, a crappy book would be better than listening to one minute of his bullshit. Those of you who can, carry on. :usflag:

Word of warning... yes, it is as bad as you think it is. Completely un-funny and without an ounce of humor. It's like the Space Shuttle Funny blew an o-ring and took everyone with it, it's that bad.

We could turn this into a book thread. That would improve it tremendously.

I picked up a couple books yesterday... read the first one cover-to-cover last night. I got a copy of Billy Graham's last book from the library and I'm looking forward to reading it. If that doesn't pan out, I can always catch up on my African history of the European colonial period prior to 1970.

Post by: TexasCop on January 25, 2011, 09:50:10 PM: Crap, not bad stuff, then more crap.

He started off calling for calm political discourse because of Arizona, blah blah blah, making it political still. Then he talked about cutting out taxation loopholes for special interest groups, which I agree with. But then went back to raising taxes on the top 2% of earners. What caught me was the way he phrased it...."We're not punishing success, we're promoting the American dream." WTF??? Then he went on and on about how he and Congress will achieve a lot of bipartisan crap and how we should fix Obamacare instead of destroying it. Then the teleprompter broke down and he was forced to read the back of his pack of Newports until power was restored and it was over.

National Journal has the prepared speech ahead of time.

Obama to Declare 'The Rules Have Changed' (http://www.nationaljournal.com/whitehouse/exclusive-obama-to-declare-the-rules-have-changed--20110125)

OOOOOOOOOOOOH, I'm sick. I see he plans for 80% of us to be using public transportation.......the government elite will have gummint cars, right? And we've shipped enough jobs to China and Korea that we've improved their economy enough that now we're going to ship jobs to Colombia and some other South American country.

I skipped around and read some of his speech and wrote a poem.

A paragraph here
A paragraph there

I had no idea it would turn out this way.

Sorry guys, but I had planned for it to be sarcasm, decent and civilized people having so little, or even no, interest in the topic that they wouldn't even react.

But whatever. All's well that ends well.
