Once again, Bambi is trying to play catch up to Sarah Palin.

There wasn't much. I heard a lot of dutiful but feeble and lackadaisical applause from the 'rat pack. They know it's all BS and they didn't look very happy about it as the camera panned around. Lot of long 'rat faces.

I think they know what's coming.

What about presidents that give federal loan guarantees to campaign donors who own solar industry losers.

Yep. Even Obama’s written lines are falling flat now....He can’t even read his teleprompter well anymore! Newt will eat barry alive in the debates....

I had the volume up pretty loud - but was not watching the screen when he said it.

Just prior, Obama mentioned he wanted a prohibition on insider trading by Congress that got the expected thunderous clamor from the DEMs.

Then, he mentioned the prohibition on owning stock - SILENCE ...

I kinda miss seeing that hag Pelosi sitting back there chewing her cud and jumping up and down like a high school cheerleader (not really, but fun to laugh at)

My silence was truly “deafening”! I turned on all of my tv’s. Waited ti the doofus walked in and I promptly shut them all off!

Symbolic, I know, but this is the first day I have been out of bed since getting “The Crud” part Deux. It needs to be either warm or cold out!
Messing with my fragile immune system!

Was the best i could do to be anti-Obama-dis-establishmentarianistic!

I couldn’t bring myself to watch, my blood pressure is barely under control anyway.

The other thing that got a tepid response was when he said that universities that raise tuition should have their federal funding cut by some percentage ...

I didn’t watch. Were those “Finding Bigfoot” guys there?

Special Hannity is on now. Interviewing focus group of 27 people. 15 voted for Obama in 2008. General reaction of all to the SOTU is dissatisfaction ...

I bet I have watched every SOTU speech for 30 years straight.

In all those 30 years I have NEVER seen such an apprehensive worried looking bunch of Senators & Representatives - and I am talking mainly about the Democrats.

I kept thinking “they know something we don’t know” and it isn’t good for the country.

Just one of many failed “applause lines” in the speech.

There were a number of times when he paused, expecting some reaction, but received none.

Loved it.

Ya. I want to know how his “EVERY family in America should be able to afford a college education for their children” works. One would think when 50% of the country aren’t paying income taxes, they could put that savings aside to pay for tuition.....

Myth 1: DumBO is a great speaker. He is literate enough to read a speech, mostly, but, he is not competent to know what he says.

Myth 2: ZerO is a great debater. He has not had a debate, he parrots prepared campaign rhetoric. Juan, I am the good guy here, never even challenged him.

Myth 3: Obummer will debate. POSOTUS will not give anyone a debate in which everything is not rigged to his advantage. There will be no Presidential debates this year.
