The only thing worse that another debate (like the one tomorrow night) is a SOTU. Good God! Why? The union is in a lousy state. Obama is the problem. The solution is obvious. Why do we need to waste two hours listening to our incompetent president try to explain his failure? Well, here goes:
And while we're waiting lets predict some of what Obama might say tonight and what he should say instead.
I'll start. . . He'll say: "It's all Bush's fault!" He should say: "Whoops."

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 577 of 577Who gives a #%&@? Seriously, if our domestic and foreign policy is going to Hades in a handbasket, who cares what the rest of the world thinks about it?
why are we suffering through this?
HE proposes a defense strategy?? scary!
T-Rav, a new hope for the rebel alliance against the Empire.
By surrendering.
did he go from Army to SOPA? or is there something I missed?
I'm gonna slit my wrists, I'm gonna slit my wrists, I'm gonna slit my wrists.....
Okay, he has not been speaking for over an hour...DRINK!!!
SHUT UP!!!
Hey Obama, how do you feel about Bill Ayers trying to bomb our soldiers? Hmmm?
T-Rav, put down the knife! Take a drink instead...
A veterans jobs core?! Why don't we put them to work suing internet pirates?
Does that man sitting next to Michelle have half of a mustache??
When is this idiot going to stop? Haven't we suffered enough?
pandering to troops... ya think they buy it?
Orange.
Oh, I think you can learn more than one or two things from the military, you undisciplined jerkwad.
Bev, Michelle has the other half. That's what happens when you have more testosterone than your husband.
rlaWTX, I can't see anyone buying this tonight.
It's all about ME!!!!!
Uh-oh, thought we were done with the Bin Laden victory laps.
Wow, this is really inspiring me....
to vote Republican.
Oh, please, you thought about yourself Mr. President...
T-Rav, Drink!
Instead, everyone thought about me and how they were serving me.
T-Rav, Great Warlord will never be finished trying to make himself sound like a war hero.
Right now, Paul sounds pretty OK.
Wow, he's really drawing this out. This is a drink you take with a funnel and a hose.
But we don't trust you...that's the point.
Hey, it's the Elizabeth Warren campaign theme!
We built this city... on rock and roll...
I thought the nation was great because the government built it?
But isn't the nation also a house of cards?
He must have gotten the message to cut the I and Me and go with We...
"This nation is great because we stab--er--get eachother's backs."
@%$& this man. @%$& him with a pine cone.
F*ck you, sir.
Andrew, maybe that means the government is a house of cards.
65 minutes of my life gonegonegonegone
Andrew, I propose that it is great because we built this nation on rock and roll.
Oh, no, it was just the light. He has a whole mustache...
Brett Baier actually just say Obama had a theme. Huh? His speech was as coherent as a phone book.
T-Rav!!!!
LOL!!!
Okay, this wasn't supposed to be a campaign speech, but the first thing out of the NBC commentator's mouth (Chuck Todd, I think) was that this speech is launching his campaign.
Some blogger: "Obama's the guy who pretends to help you lift the couch but he's really just got his hand under it."
I'm seeing a lot of support for the idea that we built this nation on Rock and Rock?
But did we built if Ford Tough or Chrysler stupid?
And they are calling it "optimistic populism"
Whaddahuh?
Hey, the comments section has been broken since 9:30 :(
"best speech?" said Hillary
"that was the best speech"?
Wow, Hillary's a total brown noser... or orange noser as the case may be.
Andrew, that's unfair. A phone book has more structure.
Hey! I'm alphabetical!
Cris, I've noticed we're having problems after we hit 200. :(
God, I am SO hot for Obama right now!!!
if you comment, it goes to the next page of comments...
What kind of problem Andrew?
One way to make it work is to look at the article itself and it lets you see all the comments.
Someone please, just for one of these addresses, get Sheila Jackson Lee out of the aisle.
Isn't Insider Trading illegal already? for everybody?
there are small "newer" and "newest" links at the bottom. you might need to use those.
Bev, If you just refresh, it only shows the first 200 and you can't see the rest. You either need to comment to see the rest or you need to go to the article rather than the comment page.
This is a glitch which came up the other night for the first time.
rlaWTX, Not for Congress. Pelosi made a fortune that way.
It was less partisan and more stupid platitudes.
Now the commentary is calling this speech a response to attacks from the Republican presidential candidates who, apparently, orchestrated the endless debate process precisely as a platform to attack 0bama from.
As far as his speeches go, I think this was his worst by far.
I haven't had those problems. It just flips right over to the next page for me.
Andrew - I saw that and went back to the main page and the comments all came back.
I'm in Firefox and it does both at different times.
I don't know about you, Chris, but I got sexually aroused just watching Obama step up to the podium.
whoever is talking on Fox is saying sweet things... who was that soft-voiced doofus?
Just for the record, Chuck Todd looks like a douche.
T-Rav, Hit "refresh" rather than commenting and you'll see that those disappear.
Bev, Same here.
God, what a cluster@#$%. I literally do not care who gets the Republican nomination, I will vote for whoever has an R next to their name in November.
Ok folks, grade the speech. What did you think?
Andrew, what comes below "F"?
tryanmax, it's not Chuck's fault, he was born that way.
With a red d-bag goatee? I think not.
Excellent comments from Boehner!
T-Rav - OBO
Andrew - ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
I almost wish he had come up with something new to attack. But it was just the same s--t in a slightly different package. I'll be addressing his "jobs" and "energy" policy tomorrow morning, but other than that one specific topic, I found the whole speech deadly dull.
Andrew, allow me to paraphrase Roger Ebert's summation of a really bad movie:
"This speech isn't scraping the bottom of the barrel. This speech isn't the bottom of the barrel. This speech isn't below the bottom of the barrel. This speech doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as barrels."
What did Boehner say? They aren't showing him on the channel I'm on.
Wow, he looks like Peyton Manning!
didn't see Boehner either...
no hearts here...
Boehner said Obama had given up governing last Labor Day and that negotiating with him is like negotiating with someone who has never negotiated before.
True dat!
Tryanmax = "incomplete" is less than an "F". Or in Obama's cases "Present"...
This is a good response.
Boehner apparently is a very perceptive man.
Daniels is giving a speech with excellent substance, but poor rhetoric. Too dull to catch anyone's attention.
Okay, Bev, what comes below those. I'm not even certain I'd give him a "present" for that disaster of a speech.
This is a good response. Not great, but good.
I hope they show Cain's response.
Yes, he is a dull speaker. Why did they pick him?
tryanmax, "Metaphysical Failure."
tryanmax, I'd go with just plain zero. Or maybe a negative number.
Honestly, Romney's more exciting.
Okay, that's the one I pick. Or "MF" for short.
Andrew, I was thinking the same thing about Romney.
Maybe Paul Ryan will be so disgusted after tonight that he'll jump into the race. #Wishful Thinking
Come on people... short, simple, lots of vision, short on details, speak to the viewer as a friend.
How hard is it write one of these speeches?
T-Rav, I always spell "0bama" with a zero. But after tonight, I might have to switch to "-bama"
tryanmax, ROFLMAO -- "MF"!
Hey tryanmax, you could give an "MF" grade to Obama! It could mean "Metaphysical Failure"--or maybe something else.
T-Rav, I WISH that were true.
Okay, the longer this response goes, the worse it seems. He says good things that I agree with, but it's like listening to Stephen Hawking, only with less inflection.
KISS - are anyone other than wonks still listening?
"Republicans are the only ones who have passed such bills"--okay, glad he included that.
Daniels should be seen and not heard... and not really seen.
This was probably a good thing to dampen down the "replace Romney with Daniels" group.
I guess that makes it Jeb Bush's turn.
// shoots self
some good points... Yawn...
OK that was funny
rlaWTX, I'm getting a kick out of your avatar! LOL!
I'm trying to imagine Reagan delivering these words. He would have probably said the same stuff, but it would have sounded much much much better.
Please turn to page 72 in your manual. Notice the graph on equity rates.
I think the epithets against Republicans as "the stupid party" might actually be true--though not in the way they mean. All that talent, and we wound up with those four nimrods as candidates. I'm getting my mallet.
tryanmax, I don't think Reagan would have used these words in this order. His speech writer should be shot... and the body smacked around.
I'm liking the new Mitch Daniels sockpuppet.
rla, just tell me this one thing: Is the kitty all right?
Herman! Herman! Herman! Herman! Herman! Herman! Herman! Herman! Herman! Herman! Herman! Herman! Herman! Herman! Herman! Herman!
We want Herman!
Yes, it would have been better written, but even in that shambling state, Reagan could've breathed live into it.
There's got to be more dynamic speakers in the Republican Party?!!
I'm done with mallets. I'm moving on to ball peen hammers.
Brett Bair just gave a better version of Daniels' speech than Daniels did.
Nate Silver on Twitter: Daniels could unite the Jon Huntsman and Tim Pawlenty coalitions into an unstoppable 7% of the Republican vote
Is Krauthammer on crack? I mean, come on!
LOL! yes, Cat couldn't take the stupidity or my frustration and went to another room...
Ben Stein will play Mitch Daniels in the movie.
Krauthammer is smoking crack. He just called this one of the best speeches ever and said he heard "sighs from Republicans all over the country."
Yeah, Charles, but they were sighs of despair.
Does anyone know on what channel Cain is on?
Well written? Funny? Direct? Impressive?
W...T...F...
bone-a fid-i-as?
same as bona fides? have I been saying it wrong all this time or is she just snooty? (on Fox)
He's not on Fox. They're doing commercials, which are surprisingly entertaining compared to what we just witnessed.
Bev, I don't think he's on yet. I just checked CNN and MSNBC.
quoi?
rlaWTX, She's snooty... and stupid.
Well, crap, apparently he's on somewhere, I just can't figure out where.
"A.B. Stoddard"? That IS a snooty name.
Well, she does work for The Hill.
Fox isn't having it. It doesn't look like CNN is having it either.
only place I know for sure is on his website: http://www.cainconnections.com/
I don't see it anywhere.
http://cainconnections.com/
Here's the link
Cain
Screw it, I just flipped over to "The Big Bang Theory." And I don't even like "The Big Bang Theory." Someone help us.
"with all due respect, the American people aren't stupid" Yes!
Thanks Tryanmax - it's being streamed.
My thanks to all the GOPers who pushed Cain out of the race. Great job.
T-Rav, I blame the alleged conservative media, too.
"We deserve a balanced budget. Period."
This man should be president, not the pretender in office.
here too...?

Anyone watch "White Collar" on USA? It's pretty good most of the time.
Nice... "stop the blame game!"
No! I can't stop! I don't know how!
DVR'ing White Collar for all of this fun...
"we must remind them"
"we the people are coming"
awesome!
Yay Cain!
Bravo!
"We want our power back."
That could be a slogan for domestic drilling.
Ok, I'm outta here. I am more convinced than ever that our country is doomed by idiocy.
It would help if the reporters had mics.
Yes Mr. Cain!!
Good night all!
'night, Andrew.
Adios, Andrew...
Yep, we're all screwed. Thanks, spineless Republicans.
rla, tell me how White Collar went.
I'm out of here too! Power to the People!!
Exactly! -bama is in denial if he thinks the state of the union is anything but rotten.
I miss Herman Cain... he has a good preacher voice and inflection and ideas!
Yep, Obama's speech was nothing but contradictions.
Good reminder about down ticket candidates.
T - yep, good points
he's on point about dirty media politics...
Wow! That was a really great statement of unity. Or maybe I'm just not used to hearing such statements. Either way, I like it.
Applause!
alright. G'night all.
I'm just curious about why I can't see all the comments. Is there a secret handshake I don't know about.
I keep coming back in hopes the update will kick in some time.
darski, I don't know if you're getting comments by e-mail, but there is a glitch to see all the comments, you need hit the title to the article and not the word "comments."
This seems to be happening whenever we get above 200 comments.
or you can post a comment and then they should all show up.
