Yoni's Official State of the Union Address Thread

[Yonivore]

As Don Surber said in his column before the speech...

“Tonight’s State of the Union address is the least important one since Richard Nixon’s in 1974. The State of the Union address was delivered 8 days ago by the voters of Massachusetts. They killed the centerpiece of Barack Obama’s presidency and without his health care plan, he is nothing.

“There is nothing President Obama can say or do tonight that could save his presidency. It is over. He is through. It lasted exactly 365 days. The one year president.”

Even Harry Reid Agrees...

Harry Reid also knows his political career is nearing an end and just can't be bothered to get excited about another Obama teleprompter-a-thon.

Most telling image of the day?

Stick a fork in him, he's done unless he's willing to put down his arrogance and start realizing he and the American People aren't on the same page. , he's not even reading the same book from the same genre as the American People.

Arrogance? Yeah, arrogance.

“The Big Difference” Between 2010 and 1994 “Is Me,” President Obama Says, Per Congressman

The only difference between 2010 and 1994 is that Bill Clinton "got it" and Obama still does not appear to have a clue.

Rise up, white people!

Really? The "yawn" card?

Metaphor

And, clambake, you might want to direct your comments to MSNBC's Chris Matthews...he's the one, once again, injecting race into the debate.

Maybe I don't care about your preferences.

[clambake]

[Yonivore]

maybe?

I was just suggesting, you draw your own conclusions about why my posts don't seem to consider your proclivities.

so how does a small state voting of a guy who would be a dem in a state like texas equate to "the whole country hates the president"?

explain?

In what is arguably the most liberal state, President Obama was unable to persuade the electorate to not vote for what is, in that "small state," a conservative and stop the complete abandonment of his centerpiece domestic agenda item, Obamacare.

If Massachusetts will elect a Senator to the right of Ted Kennedy and, in doing so, flush the agenda of a president with whom they ostensibly identify, the other 49 would have done the same and possibly will in November.

According to you and Don Surber Obama already lies in his political grave, scratching the coffin with zombie fingers, plotting his zombie comeback.

[Winehole23]

It's wishful thinking. The president is still the president.

so you don't think that there's a slight possiblity that maybe the people of MA were fed up w/the continued trend of obama to the right that they said "well if you want a Snowe, than a Snowe you will get" or that they know its a short election and they wanted to send a message that there needs to be a true progressive in or they will vote any trash in?

i guess its all a matter of perception.

p.s. vermont has a freggin socialist, a real, breathing, living, proud socialist as a senator, so they should take the crown as most liberal.

in my opinion however MA feels about healthcare is irrealavent, they have theirs already.

Samuel Alito knows Obama is a liar.

Hooray for my team!
Boo for the other team!

Really, the State of the Union address shouldn't matter all that much. That is, governance in this country, at least at the federal level, shouldn't warrant the import. It is, of course, a media event as much as a political event. Or, the great leader directing the masses to the great poll-driven national goal(s) of the week and duking it out in the Nielsen ratings with re-runs of Flavor of Love, Season II.

I thought the Official JV State of the Union Response after was more of a yawner.

I trust a conservative activist judge's opinion of obama..


we know jack, lying is ok if they are on your team..

[boutons_deux]

Alito is troll punk, a really nasty little package, just another pile of dumped left by the Repugs.

Atleast you acknowledge Obama is a liar. You are catching up with the rest ot the country. Plus his policies suck ass! Go team America!

[Winehole23]

Obama saying "including foreign corporations" was very provocative. I thought that was what Alito was reacting to, but I could be wrong.

Are foreign companies in any way already barred or restrained in their political giving? (That's an honest question: this poster is unfamiliar with any relevant US law.)

Or do foreign companies have unfettered free speech rights in US elections too?

[Yonivore]

I trust a conservative activist judge's opinion of obama..

"Last week, the Supreme Court reversed a century of law..."

It wasn't an opinion, Justice Alito was pointing out the inaccuracy of that statement.

Last week, the Supreme Court found uncons utional a provision in the McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance law. Last time I checked, neither McCain nor Feingold were around, in Congress, prior to 1910 and, the law, I believe, is less than a decade old.

[Winehole23]

Laws in 24 states may fall as a result. We'll see.
