Hard to watch, but you have to do recon to know what the enemy within is saying. . I wonder if he practices the teleprompter? . . Waiting for any gun control, ammo comments. . executive orders, bad republicans, global warming, more jobs, tax the rich, blah, blah. . . 'manufactured crisis' .. He should talk!

I don’t recall Obama giving any speeches in Spanish, and he seemed to do ok among hispanics.

Do you honestly think hispanics would have voted for Romney if only he’d hablad en espanol un poco mas?

It’s a bit insulting to think a group would vote based on such superficial and shallow reasons. We need to give them more credit than that.

Romney had Rubio front and center at the convention giving the big speech just before he came on. Didn’t seem to sway many hispanics. He had Gov Martinez from NM in a big spot in prime time. Ditto.

I agree the GOP needs to do better at reaching hispanics and other minorities, but it’s going to take a lot more than some guy saying a few words in the mother tongue.

What’s next, will Rubio give his next speech wearing a sombrero and a mariachi outfit while strumming a guitar?

I don’t see any Republicans wearing the green Newtown ribbons... So of course Republicans are going to be portrayed as “insensitive” and “uncaring” ...

Reading on a DC newspaper site, the Republican's weren't told about them before hand and they were just going to be passed out to the dems.

Has he explained why Homeland Security bought enough ammo to kill every American - every man, woman and child in this country - several times over?

This is just a warmed over campaign speech.

The Founding Fathers must be rolling over in their graves in self-disgust, knowing they put this requirement to report the State of the Union in the Constitution.

There is nothing at all here "truthful" concerning the state of our union. It is all lies and demogoguery.
