Live thread for tonight's address. If there is already a thread please delete this one.
Anderson Pooper on 360 (excellent example of moving forward, since you end up in the same place)...said he didnt’ realize the car wasn’t invented here.
I’m sure he knows where hair gel was invented.
Going to Bloomberg.
According to writer Kyle-Anne Shrive, in Obamas ascendance:
We have yet to see a more perfect collision of Murphys Law with the Peter Principle. In only three weeks time, [he] has signaled to every terrorist on the planet that we are a sorry, groveling, ashamed nation ready to come to the diplomatic confessional. He is closing Gitmo within one year, has suspended trials there, and dismissed the charges against the U.S.S. Cole plotter. [He] has just put our money where his mouth is and is using $20.3 million to bring in Palestinian refugees from Gaza [he] had the gall to pronounce the so-called economic stimulus bill absolutely free of `earmarks and `make-do work but according to the Congressional Budget Office [this bill] will do worse to our overall economy than no government action whatsoever.
If we can’t sell our ports, lets not let China buy another 3 billion bucks...of anything...
I didn’t watch it either. I don’t think you missed much. I could not even stand to watch the 10-15 min. recap on Nightline. Terry Moron makes me want to hurl.
He addressed this yesterday with Cavuto. The video is on hotair, I recommend everyone watch it and take action accordingly.
That's what he hinted at with his spiel about his budget cuts...
he would halve the budget deficit he inherited from George W. Bush http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2192814/posts

Spike in gun sales leads to Florida bullet shortage
###
Florida weapons dealers are running out of bullets because of a buying spree that could be related to an ammo-tax scare some think will come from President Obama, the Orlando Sentinel reports.
It’s part of a larger trend involving a spike in gun sales, as the St. Petersburg Times reported in November.
One manufacturer in Georgia reports a doubling of sales since the November election. A range owner said concealed-weapons classes have 300 percent more enrollees since Obama’s win. Copper-jacketed bullets are flying like flapjacks.
And who do we owe this economic upheaval? From the Sentinel:
American gun owners buy about 7 billion rounds of ammunition yearly, according to the National Rifle Association. It has been warning its several million members that Obama favors raising taxes on bullets to make them prohibitively expensive.
“Anecdotal evidence certainly suggests that the demand for ammunition is continuing to increase, and that is certainly attributable to gun owners’ concerns with the current administration,” said Ted Novin, a spokesman for the National Shooting Sports Foundation, a trade association representing 4,700 members.
The bad news, gun fans: all this excitement is sending supply way down and price way up. Hope you’ve been stockpiling!

Aren’t your fingers bleeding from typing ‘Bush’s fault’?
I was in a bar with a bunch of friends during this speech.
I started whistling a tune during the middle of the speech and somone said “Hey, I recognize that! It’s the SOVIET NATIONAL ANTHEM!!”
The whole crowd got a kick out of it!!
(It was actually the “Anthem of the Red Banner Fleet”, but what the hell, eh? Everybody remembers the song from The Hunt for Red October)
Welcome! Thanks for posting.
For my money, I’d rather have had Jeff Sessions.
“My hubby came upstairs and said Obama sounded kinda good on a couple of points...”
They need spaces that say “Uhh...uhh..er..um...” and “Yes we can”
Dumb and Dumber
Does he (Jindal) pass the “Natural Born” thing ?
Ditto here. My wife works full time, but she would quit tomorrow if she realized how much was going down the tax rat hole. I go with Single/0 on the W4 to make sure we don't have an expensive "oops" each April.
Thanks.
I wasn’t doubting you, just had never heard of it.
Freaky photo. There are faces in the red stripe above Biden’s sholder. One kinda looks like Abe lincoln.
