State of The Union

[mhall]

Got online this morning and checked out some polls taken about POTUS's speech last night. It seems that in almost every poll 80 to 90% think it had no substance and didn't give any hope that this present administration has the ability to fix our problems. I for one fall into that camp. I watched about the first 15 to 17 minutes and was throwing up in my mouth and had to move on. It was nothing more than a look at what all we've done and how great we are speech. Plus, what's with the ridiculous amount of standing ovations, OMG, it was over the top BAD! The speech was useless just like his presidency and they have no clue what so ever on how to fix this economy. The spending freeze in some areas may help a little but personally I don't think it went nearly far enough.

Watching Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden behind him slobbering over him was just.............well I don't have the words at least for this site. And I still don't understand why his lips are purple????

This was nothing more than a ''He's a Jolly Good Fellow Speech'', in his typical rock start fashion. NO SUBSTANCE WHAT SO EVER!

I loved it when he said HE has created 2 million new jobs......................Uh what, the unemployment rate is at a 30 year high all time, how can that be. Oh I forgot that's Obama talk, my bad, lol.

They are all like that, no matter who is president. I'll have to find a transcript online as I did not watch (still don't have the digital adapter for my TV ).

Shouldn't the State of the Union address be given by the real leaders of the country....the lobbyists?

Surely, they are much more in the know about what's going on and what will happen.

Created 2 million new jobs? Seriously?...That really is hard to believe...I mean if a guy gets on national television on all three major networks and says something like that then he should have something to back up his statement shouldn't he? I have heard tell of some new jobs created in the energy sector...and some jobs may have been "saved" (not created) due to road construction, etc...but saying 2 million new jobs have been created is a bit over the top in my opinion. Oh...and I forgot to mention the "lame excuse" for newly created jobs in the government sector, I'm sure new jobs were created there just to handle all the paper work for the Cash for Clunkers program. Also, since we truly have a global economy now...I wonder if this 2 million newly created jobs is including the jobs created over seas as part of the Cash fir Clunkers program?

I agree with APB...all that standing ovation crap goes on no matter who the president is...if he so much as farts he gets a standing ovation!

I didn't watch the program...about 8:15 my eye's started getting heavy and I hit the bed about 8:45.

Oh I know that I have watched many in my day, but I'm telling you this one was over the top. Everytime he said.....Booo.... Nancy jumped to her feet like somebody poked her with a pitchfork and had them all clapping and yelling, it was ridiculous.

I liked it when he told weezy not to answer the door..wait.....was I watching the wrong show?

I was watching "Jubilee" on KET instead. Hard to beat the Lonesome River Band.

LOL, I think that was Michelle, and Obama said she was working hard to help the nation's children overcome problems with obesity. There was a standing ovation with much applause. Michelle didn't stand to acknowledge it and Obama said, "She's just shy."

My honest opinion of his speech, REPEAT, REPEAT, REPEAT, REPEAT, REPEAT.

I do have one question: Is Nancy Pelosi spastic? I noticed she couldn't stop moving her lips for two seconds during the entire speech. It was as if she was trying to capture that, "I'm soooo beautiful look," and couldn't get it exactly right.

That is just all the nerve damage that she has acquired from her numerous plastic surgery operations.

It was awesome how Biden started getting tired of the whole "standing up after every word Obama said" thing. You would see Pelosi pop up, then she would turn her head over towards Biden....and then he would stand up. lol. After awhile, the camer a started to just pan off when the standing happened, not to return to Biden and Pelosi till everyone was sitting down. Funny.

Loved the moments when the Republicans just flat out laughed at Obama! That was great!

If I knew nothing about our current situation, and having just heard Obama's "I'm amazing" speech....I would have thought the U.S. was doing amazing! All those new jobs and the economy back on track, blah, blah....is he for real?

One thing I DID like was that he did make Pelosi grimace a time or two, especially when he mentioned exploring the possibility of offshore drilling! Any time that evil witch is uncomfortable Im happy.

President Obama is a joke. He has no leadership skills whatsoever. This speech was nothing more than him trying to blame the world for his failure. An attempt to disguise his incompetence to the world as he see's his political career light burning out.
Lets see he blamed Bush(shocker), blamed republicans, blamed democrats, blamed the supreme court, blamed the american people. Blamed everyone but himself and his policies. Made another reference to schoolyard bullying. He must have had his butt kicked everyday in school growing up.
His arrogance knows no bounds. IMO George Jefferson and Weezy have this pair outclassed and he's not fit to wipe George Jefferson's buttcrack.
