[Repeal 16-17]

Your comments regarding the State of the Union Address.

You nailed it. I remember my dad giving the TV a sour look whenever LBJ would start squirting croc’ tears. Dad called him a “sap”. He’s the first politician who I remember used TV to do that. I sure hope you’re right, and I think you are.

[Gene Eric]

>> Dad called him a “sap”.

Love it!

It looks like a wig to me.

Which is in keeping with the forced, fake smile and unnatural, treacly, speaking voice and intonation.

She lost me already with her fake excuse for voting for Boehner as speaker and now she’s giving the GOPe’s standard-issue, insultingly vacuous, SOTU response.

But like Jindhal, she’s allowed them to coach her to a creepy performance. So the little girls in Iowa wore plastic bags on their dress shoes, rather than rainboots, on rainy days. Big whoop.

...."Now your a hairdresser??"....

No... but I was in the high fashion Industry sending models down the runway and presenting shows in the Pocono Mountains. Also outfitted the State Beauty Contest Winner, actually modeled with her as one of our models was ill that night. (Fun!) So you have to know "balance" in an idnividuals appearance and that includes the hair and style of. I also worked in Providence R.I. at a Specialty shop where my last client was Queen Noor of Jordon....quite a few famous people would shop there. I remember how excited I was that Claudia assigned me to take care of this "special" client that would be coming in...once we knew she was on her way is when they told me who it was!

She still looks great....though she's had lots of face surgery to help!

[caww]

LOL...yes, And I think she fell asleep last year as well.

Triple thumbs up on your comments, which you articulated so very well. Agree completely.

We both stay home. Wife and I have home based businesses. We knew that if we have kids - we would be the parenting not strangers.

Here a daycare worker was arrested for kicking a toddler in the head. Really if that toddler was my kid, the day care would be sued.

I went to bed at 8PM last night...

and slept peaceful...

Was there a speech ???

[ExCTCitizen]

Was there a speech? Yes, the Dictator Of The US was trying to create fertilizer...

[silverleaf]

Like mitt did during his debates with Obama? Another decent but vapid candidate? I don’t think so , we must disagree on what will inspire voters to go vote

[MeshugeMikey]

Obie is Plastic Man.....bending himself into whatever shape he needs to adopt to "get over"

viciously Non "bi partisan" one moment.....fallaciously "bi partisan" the next.

One day soon and he will no longer be in power

[Jane Long]

Oh, dear. Maybe she’s praying....like the rest of us!

[Jane Long]

THAT ^^ would be a beautiful look for Joni. More relaxed, yet very sophisticated. She could EASILY pull that hairstyle off.

[manc]

I knew it. He is infatuated with homosexual and homosexuality.

Obie-wan-Renewba,

Inventing himself one day at a time.

Sadly it is incompetence disguised by a collection of lightweight poofters who happen to be nationalist socialists ( Liberal utopian fascists).

The Obama re-recitation of his Utopia...... ( false utopia, he really wants to make USA into a minority controlled nation).....is growing so thin that the Joint Chiefs of Staff stayed stone faced , seated and unapplauding on his announcement he would close GITMO ( by handing it back to Cuba likely, as a term of resuming diplomatic relations, CLinton did the same with the Panama canal, now controlled by the Chinese. GITMO will become a Russian base , just like that.)

The world will hand Obie-wan-Renewba and his lap dogs their asses yet.I just pray that our country will not be destroyed from within.

[MeshugeMikey]

I jave to admit that I watched the show...on a very small youtube window and did even see all of it...so I didnt note the response of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Perhaps Obie will rennovate Gitmo with an eye towards reopening it a housing project for the underprivleged denizens of the “inner city”.

what could be better for a place called GET MO!?

[CatherineofAragon]

"By the way. I dressed hair for 42 years, and long hair on anyone past 45 is a no go"

Have to disagree with you, FRiend. It depends on the woman. I have a thick mane (well below the shoulders) of curly spirals, and I'm over 45. I get compliments all the time.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Let me be clear...BLAH! BLAH! BLAH!

[TomGuy]

The numbers are starting to come in and they are not that great.

2014 SOTU got about 33 million viewers.

2015 SOTU preliminary numbers show 19.41 million
[NBC 5.26m, CBS 7m, ABC 4.3m, FOX 2.85m]

[2015 numbers do not include cable channels or Internet streams.]

The tvbythenumbers article doesn't even mention SOTU in its headline:

TV Ratings Tuesday: ‘The Flash’ Returns Down, ‘Supernatural’, ‘MasterChef Junior’ & ‘Parks and Recreation’ Steady

Hee hee. Me, too! When a crooked leftist politician got his card handed to him, Dad would come forward in his chair and yell, “Kapow!”

And his usual insult directed towards a bad driver, rather than jacka_s, was “you Jasper!” Probably having children motivated him to use these expressions more often than the occasional expletive.

Good, old Dad.
