    I didn't watch even one of obama's S of the U speeches ...

    I was never in the mood to listen to a list of his
    negative accomplishments. So what exactly did he
    talk about ? How he had cut the Military budget to
    the bone ? How he had canceled NASA's scientific
    pursuits, instead instructing them to be nice to
    muslims ? How he had slashed oil production and
    diverted the monies to more important endevours
    like solar panels and windmills ? How he had
    introduced onerous regulations in order to shut down
    the coal industry ? How he had instructed the Border
    Agents to allow unchecked border crossings, thereby
    flooding the country with illegals ? How he had allowed
    his IRS to threaten and harass the Tea Party members ?
    How he had nixed the oil pipeline ? How he had
    instituted the biggest land grab in the nation's history
    in order to close the lands to oil exploration ? How
    he had swelled the lines at the unemployment offices
    across the country while at the same time increasing
    welfare roles to unprecidented heights ?
    I'm sure there are more negative accomplishments he
    bragged about that I have wiped from my memory.
    If anyone can think of something positive he did, I'd
    certainly like to hear about it.

      I've never listened to one--not one! Certainly not any of the asshole country-club-Republican Bush's, and not even Regan's. The salient points (if any) of all these exercises in phony-baloney posturing are going to be rehashed on cable news for several days afterwards, so you miss nothing by doing something more edifying, like studying your navel.

        The last S of the U speech I listened to was that of Gerald Ford. I remember him saying "the state of the union is BAD".

        I know what they've done and haven't done.

        In obama's case the less he did the better for the nation.

        Tonight I'll probably record it and FF thru some of the long winded parts.
        I'll also skip the s**thole party's rebuttal remarks.

          The "State of the Union" was originally a letter delivered to Congress, not a speech, and it's too bad it's not still done that way, because on paper the opportunities for displays of cant, hypocrisy, sanctimoniousness, and all other forms of BS, are severely diminished. Furthermore, delivered on paper, good public speakers like Obama & Kennedy don't have an advantage over mumblers & bumblers like Ford & Ike.

            What's important is what they do, not what they say. Anybody can have a speech written for them.

            I wouldn't know if obama and the kennedy's are good speakers or not. I've never listened to a single word of their speeches and rants and don't intend to. I've experienced and read enough about them and their s**thole party.

              OK, watched Trump too. Nothing really new but a good speech. Obama's teleprompter was there but during Trumps 1 hour and 20 minutes I didn't see him looking at it once.

                I watched it. It was good, but I could have done without
                the stupid senseless clapping every ten seconds.

                  Especially if any of it was done by Demos hating his guts while pretending to be polite.

                        What were you doing at the Trump rally, Tim?

                        Looks like that Swedish "vacation" wasn't a success!



                        Hey, if we can't laugh occasionally, what are we doing here? Feel free to take some potshots at me....

                          Taken at, but not by me. I dont attend political rallies.
