Obama's State of the Union

[sadelb]

He doubled down. Gave 9% approval rating congress zero wiggle room for 2012, and basically exposed the misinformation all 18 GOP debates have been pushing. IMO it was a "game on" speech. This before he even releases his reelection army. I loved how he finally explained to the public how many industries have been created by public $$$. Something a lot of people still don't know.

[Forca Barca]

Hopefully it was his last SOTU.

He'll have 270 electoral votes by 10pm on November 6th.

the right wing fringe where you get your ideas and spin from is exactly the reason why its going to be so easy for him. Too much regulation has absolutely NOTHING to do with our economy right now. Too little regulation is why we are in this mess. And the public is finally smartening up.

I could tear so much of that to pieces in a matter of minutes but for now I will reference this one point -I like that you reference wall street kicking ass and then go on to mention the jobs lost in the financial sector-hey you better not pick up that hot pot over there cause it is really cold

Why the govt is just gonna bail out wall street again and your gonna complain about the ceos getting bonuses after the fact. You rewarded them for bad behavior.

Ahh there's the change he was talking about, lol

[tonei.]

I am far from a left Obama supporter, but then again i am far from a right...



How can anyone with a straight face even sit here and push Obama having anything to do with the down turn in the economy??


In my eyes it is a miracle the economy and the market is where it is... i Have no idea how we are not in an full blown depression right now.... We are basically bankrupt, Europe is bankrupt, Japan is bankrupt, houses (the avg person financial lifeblood) are worthless, and will prob continue to be for another 3 years, we have no backup plan to oil (that has nothing to do with Obama), Brink of world Apocalypse with Israel, they will use a nuke at some point (with or without america, there probably waiting to see if Obama gets reelected)..


And the market and economy are really not that bad.... Yes you can thank Ben Bernanke and his button pushing monkeys, but you really cant blame Obama for the problems, i don't agree with how he handled it because i believe in the end this will all collapse, we have literally fixed none of the issues, but maybe there is an outside chance it might not...

[beachman]

and what do you think the chart looks like from end of clintons term to end of 2nd bush term? that story would be much worse

some of the above frankly also have nothing to do with who the president of the country is

lastly under a mccain palin administration things would be as bad if not worse

I am no huge obama guy now(will admit I voted for him and thought he would do better on some key issues) but people quickly forget that when he took office the market was near 8k now going towards 13k-fed actions sure play a role but still that move is unheard of-secondly the reason BUSH signed off on and created many of the bailouts is because the nation was in a horrible position not because things were so grand and rosy -the bank bailouts and the auto bail outs started under bush-if things were so wonderful why did you do them

To say Obama walked into one of the worst situations in the last 50 years of this country, is an understatement....


That being said, what he has done has solely been to get himself reelected, that's politics... But it is not a long term solution, this will breakdown just like Europe will break down... When, who knows..

for me it is tough watching him do many of the same bush policies he was so against-as far as the economy goes I gotta say I am happy with where we are considering where it looked like we were going-people act like everything was just wonderful when he took office very very short term memory for some-he was given the keys to a house on fire and then afterwards reps would say damn look at all of that smoke we are seeing from an obama's house - forgetting they lit the fire-as I said bush bailed out multiple industries on his way out because we were facing doom and gloom-obama was not given the same cards handed to bush from clinton

As always, speaking sense & on point

[Uncle Vito]

I didn't watch it. Started watching it for like 2 mins and then got tired of people standing up and clapping every 7 seconds.

[ShaE]

that gets really annoying, but they do it every time for every president lol

[dBOL]

This speech means very little, he could come out and say he will piss gold and shit oil. Doesn't mean anything unless he follows through.

Obama was like Billie Jean out there. FAIR IS FAIR
