I see they inserted all of the applause into the transcript... What... didn’t you see it?

The President bombed last night. Yemen I think...

After all, he is known for droning...

Ruth Bader Ginsburg said what we were art thinking... ZZZZZZ...

Here’s Joni Ernst:

She’s going to be excoriated for speaking the truth. Stay tuned...

“I’m going to wait for it to come out on 8 track.”

So you can listen while cruising in your 1968 Chevy Chevelle? LOL!

(We had Thin Lizzy, Pink Floyd, Boston, Kansas, ELO, Bob Seger, Head East, etc. for our Chevy’s 8-track. Good Times!)

Because families like Rebekah's still need our help. She and Ben are working as hard as ever, but have to forego vacations and a new car so they can pay off student loans and save for retirement. Basic childcare for Jack and Henry costs more than their mortgage, and almost as much as a year at the University of Minnesota. Like millions of hardworking Americans, Rebekah isn't asking for a handout, but she is asking that we look for more ways to help families get ahead.

I find it odd that he used this family in his speech. These people worked hard and got ahead ON THEIR OWN. They didn't ask the government for help. They improved their situation by taking on other jobs, furthering their education, riding the tide until the economy improved. Obama had nothing to do with their success. What a dolt!

Being grilled for the bread bag comment today. What a pathetic bunch of people they are to harp on that.

Sounds like socialism to me.

That's just the thing; a lot of it could not be:

That's what middle-class economics is — the idea that this country does best when everyone gets their fair shot, everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same set of rules. We don't just want everyone to share in America's success — we want everyone to contribute to our success.
Most conservatives would agree with the underlined in that:
  1. The country does do best when everyone gets their fair (as in not-loaded) shot.
  2. The country does do best when everyone does their fair share (as in portion).
  3. The country does do best when everyone plays by the same set of rules (that is, Justice and uniformity of law).
None of those are socialistic in nature, and it could easily be argued that socialism is contrary to all of them by its very nature.
It's the conclusion that reeks of socialism.

The thing I find so WTF is the everyone plays by the same rules — this is so not-the-case that it's laughable. Consider the enforcer caste — the lowest government official in the American caste hierarchy, the police — they are accorded special privileges and [routinely] do things that would get the average citizen in trouble.

His face hits my TV, the channel is changed! Period. I don’t listen to his lies. I don’t look at his muslim pig faced skinny face. He makes me puke. I have NEVER disliked a president more than this fool. I though I disliked the Klinton’s, but this guy takes the cake. The liberals will say he is greater than FDR or Washington. They will want his face carved up next on Mt. Rushmore. I will not be surprised when that suggestion comes along.

The numbers are starting to come in and they are not that great.

2014 SOTU got about 33 million viewers.

2015 SOTU preliminary numbers show 19.41 million
[NBC 5.26m, CBS 7m, ABC 4.3m, FOX 2.85m]

[2015 numbers do not include cable channels or Internet streams.]

The tvbythenumbers article doesn't even mention SOTU in its headline:

I found the ‘bread bag’ thing really silly, but my Mom did that to us, too!

This folksy cr@p is NOT going to get the job done; I want heads on pikes!! :)

I didn't watch it and don't want to read the lies either. Even Rush didn't watch the SOTUS. Only 2 more years of this crap.

Yes - it's the conclusion, AND the mechanics involved in attaining those ideas:

*When everyone gets their fair share --- as in redistribution of wealth among EVERYONE, regardless of gross income, employment status or citizenship (or lack thereof).

*When everyone does their fair share --- as in supporting and contributing to the whole, not the individual.

*When everyone plays by the same set of rules --- AS IN THE CONSTITUTION? BUT... WE KNOW WHERE THAT HAS GONE, DON'T WE?

REVISED CONCLUSION: OBAMA IS ALL ABOUT TRANSFORMATION. AT ANY PRICE. He's deceptive. To a lot of people, his ideas sound great. Listen to how some of the Germans feel about that:

Gee wizz, even with no college loans my husband and I forewent fancy vacations, a new car, AND CHILDREN until I was 30 so we could save enough money for a down payment on a home/nest. On the other hand my two married sons had both reached age 30, had little savings while paying college loans, and I only had one grandchild. So I got an equity line of credit, gave them each $10,000 so they could buy a 3 bedroom fixer upper. Now I have 4 grandchildren. Different times call for different strategies.
