You're naive only if you think that a state of the union address is going to change anything, anywhere.

Of course, this isn't gonna change any minds really and the opposition won't budge, but I do like the ideas.

 

[Kosmo]

And there it is - fuck getting our finances in order, keep spending that war money even if there is no war!

 

[Measley]

God damn, he's been talking about fixing crumbling bridges for nearly 4 years now, when's it gonna get done?

Looks like he's going to sign an executive order to get it done, since Congress has been twiddling their thumbs.

The same day we get the promised high speed rail money

I like people having jobs and all, but no more roads, there is too much traffic already.

 

[Chumly]

The only depressing thing about this speech is that Republicans are going to Cockblock everything.

He wanted to do it as part of the stimulus, but repubs blocked it because they said all the money would go to unions doing the work.


I can't believe regulation is already a dirty word again....


People have short memories.

Americans don't even know where the Gulf is. They probably think it's in Iraq (other than those who were affected by it).

Unfortunatly true

3rd generation biofuels, the Airforce has been testing jet engine-grade blends recently as well

[Plinko]

that's my industry now. I'm glad he mentioned it

Congrats--I have several relatives in that industry.

 

[Gotchaye]

all of this is complete bullshit.

his wording, "send me this bill" and "send me that bill" is just setting up congress to fail. congress won't do shit this year and he will campaign against a do-nothing congress. this speech is just a way to set up that argument.

this is a 2012 re-election speech, nothing else. he knows full well none of these things will be passed.

Of course that's what he's doing. And that's great! We /do/ have a do-nothing Congress and Republicans who are set on obstructing anything useful.

You can't blame the guy for proposing things that he'd be happy to sign even though he knows that the other side isn't going to pass the stuff; that's how you make it clear to voters what's actually at stake and hopefully you avoid 2010 all over again.

 

[SoulPlaya]

This. But you know the will oppose anyway.

Yeah, very true. We have a system in place that puts politics above good ideas. Thus, we must change it.

 

[Tamanon]

I....you ....you understand why your statement doesn't make sense, right?

2 different formats - sorry but your post is dumb

Yea Obama is nothing without his teleprompter.

He just freezes up.

But his ideas sound perfectly reasonable and good for America. It's not his fault Congress has Republicans that will do anything they can to block anything from happening so they can blame a broken America on Obama.

 

[Invisible_Insane]

Geithner looks like that last suggestion pained him personally.

 

[ReBurn]

Do I get my closing costs from last September back from when I refinanced?

[makingmusic476]

I thought he already said we fixed this like half an hour ago.

 

[Bulbo Urethral Baggins]

Man. This speech is going downhill.

 

[RPGamer92]

Instead of building roads, how about working on flying cars?

 

[Phoenix]

God damn, he's been talking about fixing crumbling bridges for nearly 4 years now, when's it gonna get done?

When someone funds the projects since that has to be done in the states.

 

[SolKane]

LOL, belly laughing on that one Obama!

Or Congress could do some of those things. It is up to them.

That was terrible. And he knew it too.

jokes for dayssss

Need new comedy writers.

 

[Divvy]

Haha terrible milk joke.

 

[Zzoram]

That's factually incorrect. Remember that time he was addressing that Republican audience in an open forum, and he was dismantling every Republican so badly that Fox News actually cut away from it because they couldn't stand seeing Obama run circles around their Republican heroes.

Boo, Mr. President, boooooo.

That was the worst joke I've ever heard.

I laughed.

 

[ReBurn]

That was an awful joke.

I....you ....you understand why your statement doesn't make sense, right?

I know that "in the long run" it will decrease traffic, but while the roads are being built the traffic gets worse.

 

[Jamesfrom818]

He's got jokes, son!

 

[Phoenix]

Boo that man.... BOOOOOO

Whos fault is that? When republicans dont do shit its kind of hard to do something about it.

 

[Nert]

I loved how disgusted he was as he delivered that joke.

 

[RDreamer]

This is not a debate.

What the Republicans have been doing can barely be called a "debate" anyway. It's nothing but rhetoric spewing back and forth. Most questions are nothing more than non-sequiter mini-speeches barely touching on the actual topic at hand. With this speech I can pretty much tell how Obama is can counter any one of their points.

But yes, I obviously know they're not the same thing. But I can tell where he's going, and you can also kind of tell he's countering quite a few of the "points" raised against him in those debates by Republicans.

And I meant it's night and day because Obama's rhetoric seems to have a bit more reasoning and grounding in reality than the rhetoric being spewed by Mittens and Gingrich nowadays.
