I SWEAR I heard a deafening SILENCE when Obama said he wanted Congressmen and Senators to be prohibited from owning stock in companies that they have legislative influence over ...

Or am I on drugz ???

I missed the speech due to watching last Sunday night’s episode of Downton Abbey!

But I did catch his exit from the room and the lovefest from all the slobbering Dems. It was nauseating.
And well, I’m nauseated anyway cuz I am afraid that this Imposter/Upurper/Marxist is going to be reelected.

“I kept thinking “they know something we don’t know” and it isn’t good for the country.”

Perhaps as with the final days of the Soviet Union, the insiders now the real numbers? Alternatively it could be personal to them, and the level of rejection for the present system will swamp them utterly? Just theorizing.

There’s no way I could watch that POS destroy SOTU. I watched storage wars instead. Darryl Hester found an antique telescope in his locker.

Watch Il Douche? I’d rather drink muddy water and sleep in a hollow log, as the old Jimmie Rodgers song goes.

If Obama doesn’t debate - he’ll lose the election. Debating is MANDATORY [in the public’s eye] ever since Kennedy-Nixon ...

If he doesn’t debate, he will be perceived as being scared ...

IF Newt is the candidate - he WOULD probably eviserate Obama in a debate. Newt knows how to speak, he knows how to debate, and he knows his facts ...

Just imagine the pounding Obama would take on unemployment, the stimulus, the Solyndra loan [as well as other loans to the flywheel compny and the battery company], the pipeline debacle, etc.

My personal favorite was when Barry announced that Eric Holder would be going after fraud. I almost barfed in my ice cream.

The MSM will blame it on Gingrich's team being recalcitrant about the format.

There won't be any debates. And only a few of Obama's supporters will interpret it as "Obama was scared of Newt".

I don’t care how many times I hear people say Romney is the only one that can beat Odrama.

Newt is the one who can because unlike McLame and Mittens Newt will call Odrama on what he’s done. Mittens would be another McLame in the campaign ie. don’t use his middle name, Odrama is a good president, etc. etc.

I wanted Cain or Palin but of the 2 viables left I pick Newt.

I heard silence throughout the SOTU. Didn’t even turn it on. Did wonders for my blood pressure, too!

I was too busy applying for a federal grant to convert horse manure into solar energy.

Horse manure? Way to much work collecting it and all. Plus, you got to feed the damn things, which is more work.

Much easier to get a grant converting, converting, well, sunshine...into solar energy.

yeah, that IS the ticket.

Ought to be worth a few hundred mil at least.

Maybe Obama could spring Blagojevich and appoint him to a new cabinet level "Secretary of Integrity" post.

The Pens beat the Blues 3-2 in a shootout, their 7th straight win, 4 in OT.

Was there some political stuff going on tonight?

I saw the Drudge headline that had Nancy saying that Newt was the father of her daughter, and bwaney fwank said that he has a secret about Newt. Hohum...

It is NOT his supporters that count - they are gonna drink the Kool-Aid anyway ...

It is the UNDECIDED INDEPENDENTS that count - they will perceive an Obama failure to debate as WEAKNESS AND a failure to JUSTIFY his record ...

The election will be won on who gets the majority of uncommitted independents ...

The whole event had a air of boring-ness that could only come from an arrogant, smirking, jerk bent on lecturing everyone like he would a losing team of community organizers in a smelly Chicago locker room.

This was the President of the United States, I had to keep reminding myself, as I watched a display of smugness and 'talking down his nose' to all those gathered.

Shared this, shared that, fair this, fair that. As if Americans were spoiled brats fighting over what remained of a pie or something. Did it ever occur to this as*hole that with him out of the kitchen (coming soon) we'd bake more pies? I still can't believe this neophyte phony ever got elected to President. Just what were his credentials, again?
