[Severa]

I searched all over and didn't see a live thread on tonight's speech soooooo here it is! (Be gentle on me, in all my years here this is my FIRST LIVE THREAD!)

Got a bust of Nero handy? Party On!! ;-)

No kidding!

He really doesn’t have an opinion either way, now my soon to be 11 yr old son (normal development) would agree with your son. I’ll never forget this last year when one of his speeches was going to pre-empt the Charlie Brown Christmas TV special. I asked the kids if they wanted to wait till it showed again or watch our DVD copy. My youngest goes, ‘We’ll watch it tonight’ and when I ask him, ‘You don’t want to watch the President speak?’ he fires back with ‘No mom I don’t want to be bored to death’ *wipes imaginary tear from eye* they sure do grow up fast....

I wonder if he KNOWS anyone in those pictures behind him?

“It reminded me of Mary Poppins.”

I think the whole umbrella Mary Poppins analogy is flawed.

She was much more macho.

Shrink just knows the Marxist is unqualified, imcompetent, and completely in over his head and should have never been elected, plus the fact that the Marxist has very serious and severe character defects.

If there are NO elections, that must mean he has declared martial law and the balloon has gone up on CWII.

Right.

The speech was disjointed to say the least. There is something wrong with this man Obama. I have noticed this before. He is totally out of his league and does not have a clue. And....if any of you witnessed the interview between Press Secretary Gibbs and Gretchen on Fox and Friends this morning, you will take note that Press Secretary Gibbs is truly a nomineee to the nearest lunatic farm!!! We are leaderless in a very dangerous world!!! Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Chavez, Castro, etc., all birds of a feather with Obama when they became unglued!!! God help America and....voters, destroy the entire Democrat Party on Election Day, November 2, 2010!!!

It was exterminators, and they got rid of the swarm of locusts that invaded the Oval Office.

Howlin’ was perma-banned in the Great Rudy Giuliani Purge of '07.

And I can't wait to see how the smushy cushions turn up at all four corners as a person sinks down as they sit down. The decorator did not take into consideration that the sofa needs to have firm, well-stuffed cushions, and tight-woven upholstery fabric, for comfort's sake and because of all the wear and tear this sofa will receive, aside from the fact that no one likes to sink 50 fathoms downs on a cushion. George Bush's decorator understood this and chose the correct style of sofa.

Barack? No so much.

His read was insincere. He lied. His statements on the economy lacked any understanding of why it is failing. No one is going to manufacture anything here under conditions that undermine every effort. To paraphrase Reagan, “Government is the problem.”

DumBO is more interested in fundamentally changing America to a country of serfs.

[the swarm of locusts]

Thank you Carling. A swarm of locusts, almost Bibical in nature. I don’t recall flies, rats and locust during other President’s years in office.........

obama is cracking. He is less than robust in appearance, and he reflects all that ails him. He has addictions and he's leading a double life (ask Michelle and Larry Sinclair).

His audience is no longer fawning over him and his numbers have taken and continue to take a dive. We must not let up in our fight to outst this enemy. He's going down for all the treasonous destruction he has brought to this country.

[tina07]

absolutely hilarious!

[luv2ski]

So true and the Dems won’t let him throw in the towel after 1 term. It’s going to be glorious to watch!

Properly accessorized with the right boob belt, those drapes looked better on Chewbacca.

[gov_bean_ counter]

His last several public appearances he has looked either drunk or drugged. His frequent vacations, golf outings and date nights are nothing but escapism. I fully expect him to have a nervous breakdown or OD from psychotropic drugs before the 2012 elections.

[itssme]

I agree with you, and I can only hope!

[LADY J]

Thanks for the picture!! You’d think that between the two of them they could handle getting through the gate with an open umbrella!!
