Note that the SOTU is early this year, Jan. 12. He can squeeze one more in before Inauguration Day next year. Jimmy Carter did it in 1981. (Not that I wanted to ruin your evening.)

[Mr Apple]

While walking through the crowd, I see the mullah obama shaking hands with scumbag democrat Rep. Engle - - who voted for the N K deal!! mullah and engle/ both basta*rds

[Beatthedrum]

Rummy, I didn’t listen to a single thing he said, today or ever. I was just checking in here to see when it was finally over and I could listen to the GOP “response”.

[advertising guy]

He was on drugs, his typical pop was more like poop,I am serious

[cyclotic]

Yep, he learned how to speak without a prompter.

I’ve used prompters for some corporate videos. Made me feel presidential.

[RummyChick]

Are you sure he didn’t say that Politicians should be picking the voters. I noticed someone else thought he said it the same way I heard it.

Barry has a track record of not making demands of Iran and forgetting about our citizens and military.

[Vermont Lt]

Gerry Ford did one before the inauguration as well.

[KosmicKitty]

I needed to hear a grown-up again. Brain bleach if you will.

[Beatthedrum]

Great I will put on CNN, thanks!!!

[TornadoAlley3]

He said politicians should pick the voters. He did say it. They clapped. Damn them all to hell.

[TornadoAlley3]

CSPAN, NOT CNN.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Could not have survived this death march without FR! Thank you, posters 8-)

[Mears]

Did he see pot smoking in public parks?

Two men walking hand in hand down the street?

A little boy with two mommies?

Black “teen” boys with their pants falling down?

Metrosexual males having their bleached hair blow dried.

Has he listened to the lyrics of rap music?

Has he had to press 2 for English?

This,unfortunately,is the America we are stuck with,

[SunLakesJeff]

and hear the GOP Milquetoast rebuttal

Nikki Haley? I think she's SC Gub.

Scuttlebutt is she's auditioning for Veep. Why not Gub Palin?

[TornadoAlley3]

Nikki will say do not vote for Trump or Cruz.

[mylife]

Now to budget ours selves against the propaganda he just spewed

[stars & stripes forever]

RONALD REAGAN would have had a moment of prayer for them.
