Let the scam begin!
The fresh turd just entered.
Is it just me, or is his face orange?
If I were Boehner, tonight would be a night for tears...having to sit beside Jokin’ Joe and listening to the BS from ‘Bam.
What a commie pig bastard 0b0z0 is!

Is the Prez ever on time for anything?
Leave it to IOTW to come up with “Civility Sham Wow.” Love it!
Want to improve schools??? Get rid of the teacher’s unions!
Did he steal this speech from Jimmy Carter? I swear I did a report on it in high school 34 years ago.
He talks about more education, more training, for jobs.
With UE at 9.4%, there isn’t that much incentive.

Jobs first, Mr. President! Too many well educated people are underemployed.

Took me this long to get onto the site—FR servers must be slammed. I have the speech on but without the sound—can’t believe The One is still talking after an hour. I’m here to listen to Paul Ryan’s response!
Oh goody! The speech and event are over and FreeRepublic is back up and running! What a bunch of hogwash! FR goes down during any big event!

“The Obama lady says that big people are obese. So that means big government is obese government.”
What a smart little girl. She was from India. And this little pretty has it right. Why isn’t big government called obese government?
Look, I am really not too sure that millions of American jobs are going to be created by making Americans like me pay for the education of illegal aliens - I think I heard something in there about that in Obama’s speech, and something about these little kids who while saluting the flag of the United States will patriotic fervor – and suffer only due to the fault of their parents and not of their own - are being deported instead of educated. Actually, no matter what side of the aisle you are on regarding this issue, there aren’t very many little illegal alien kids being taken out of an elementary school class and deported. Perhaps some wish it would be so, but most of them are getting not only an education but free lunch meals on school grounds even on Saturdays and other non-school attendance days. At least, that’s the case here in California.
I am not against taxation for government programs in every single case. For example, I wouldn’t mind being taxed to support an aggressive space program. I think Obama cut NASA funding. Not good. And, I support the military. And, as we see crime on the rise I support higher taxes to pay for, to hire, and to provide equipment and cars and technology to our local and federal police.
So, there are some things that, if we cannot have a fair tax, or some better method other than the current means of raising government revenues, I would support higher taxation for those examples.
But those other examples, in particular the “education” scam, well – something else has to be the answer than more taxes for those government louts who have destroyed the education of our children. I am really not sure what the answer will be – perhaps less government regulations and “licenses” and such regarding who is allowed to teach, both privately and over the internet and within avenues of technology and public networking. I mean, there was something in his speech about competing with those from India who are better educated than we are. And, I think there are a whole lot of well educated Indians and you know what? I can now hire one of them over the internet to teach and tutor my kids way better than the government toadies and school administrators here in California who are rolling in more public largess and money than most all other nations and in particular including India.
There is some other reason why, if Obama is correct, that Indians are better educated.
I don’t have any answers. The speech was ok, but a lot about obese government was there. And I just don’t understand why anyone would think government, in particular a Democratic Party run government which is soon to come to an end, can do anything better than anyone else, or can even live up to one of its promise that we will ever get anything free, or that anything will ever work, under their dictate and using my money.
Obama actually put me to sleep. My wife had to wake me up for Paul Ryan’s response.
Paul Ryan was great.
