Presumptuous: He demanded – 17 times – that Congress immediately pass a bill no one has seen.
Tired: The speech contained little new, just mostly recycled ideas or extensions of current programs that haven’t worked.
Small: Its proposals, while expensive, offer little hope of really jump-starting the economy.
Mind-boggling: Mr. Obama wants to drains hundreds of billions from Social Security for another stimulus.
Slippery: It will all be paid for, the president said, but it’s up to a Congressional committee to figure out how.
Misleading: These were just GOP ideas. Really? Republicans have proposed another $450 billion stimulus bill, Mr. Obama?
Arrogant: He refused to consult in advance with anyone on the Hill, even refusing a meeting request from the House Speaker and Majority Leader.
Self-centered: The only job he’s really concerned about is his own. If he really wanted a bipartisan package, he would have worked with Republicans to come up with one.
Unnecessary: The president would have been better off traveling the country this week to lay out proposals, surrounded by people he could claim would might benefit.
Completely political: Before he spoke, Mr. Obama sent supporters an email titled “Before I head to the Capitol” that ended with “You should donate today.”
Hyper-partisan: This speech – especially its angry tone – was aimed at setting up the Republicans for blame next fall. Then he’ll say the economy would be better if the GOP has just done what I ordered them to do.
Misguided: Mr. Obama is betting his re-elect on a massive spending bill.

I can do it in three! P.O.S.
I was in a bar having drinks and apps. One TV was on the speech, the rest were on sports. Barry had that angry, petulant look he’s so good at. Glad I skipped the speech.
Obama seems to truly believe he is a sovereign monarch. I’m surprised he does not have staff address him as “Your Majesty.”
That includes his college instructors of course and explains why he has very little respect for (knowledge of?) our heritage of separation of powers.
It's like this, Barry, the president proposes and the Congress disposes.
A president cannot dispose of Congress.
Why use twelve words, when two will do: Bull Sh!t!
it is amazing that it has taken 9 months for a Republican to mention that the suspension of the payroll tax might hurt a few people and dig a big hole for the SS Fund. What do people over 63 say to the gov when the mention no payments for a couple of years?
Same with me tanker. 2 beers shrimp dinner and absolutely Zero desire to listen to the Onerous one. Enjoyed the NFL and my fellow FReeps patriots right here. Refused to let the interloper spoiler ruin my evening.

“Small: Its proposals, while expensive, offer little hope of really jump-starting the economy.”
I don’t like this point; it implies larger proposals would jump-start the economy. I say the larger the plan, the worse the disruption, the less the chance it will improve things.
I think most Americans have tuned out that attention whore. Every speech sounds the same.
“That includes his college instructors of course and explains why he has very little respect for (knowledge of?) our heritage of separation of powers.”
Yes, anything that gets in the way of him getting his way is a “rigid idea.” Or a prejudice, if you will. A hang-up in your mind that you have to get over in order to progress, man.
Bloviate: All talk, no clue.
Ignorant arrogant affirmative action muslim narcissist.
There. I just cut it down by 50% and covered it all.
Thanks DNC and your fornicating media for bringing us this national nightmare. May all your dogs turn on you and your children shun you and you live out your life in utter destitution and isolation.
