   I’d love to see discussion of what’s actually in front of us that didn’t involve name calling and obscure references.
   The country is definitely in a steep decline, government is the problem, and there is no indication that anybody is interested in changing it.
   There is serious doubt if the inevitable Dark Ages can be survived this time.
   And you want to sit here and call names.
   Start by repealing the 17th Amendment, why don’t you. Give the federal government back it’s opposition.

   Oh no! Another solutions based poster not hammering on partisan rhetoric..
   Now seriously, I have seen times when solutions to some of the thorny problems facing us have been very intelligently presented here from both “camps” of the political isle. The key seems to be leading the discussion with facts and specifics rather than accusations and histrionics. The minute the discussion digresses to dragging up Bush and his evil empire or Obama and his secret agenda to ruin the country it’s over, go back to reading the “real” comics…

   “He shall from time to time give to Congress information of the State of the Union and recommend to their Consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient. ”

   — Article II, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution
   

   
   Interestingly enough, before Woodrow Wilson (1913-1921) the state of the union was usually a letter to congress and addressed the actual “condition” of the country rather than just the president’s political agenda. How things have changed…

    If there are teleprompters, why is there a copy of the speech?

    Laced with sarcasm and invective, Sen. Rand Paul’s rebuttal eviscerated Mr. Obama’s not-yet-given speech, ending with a call for the President to be tried for treason and banished from the U.S. On we go then…

    Barack isn’t a Liberal so all those that ignore his illiberal actions are fools.

    Boehner has shown repeatedly he can’t read, especially the handwriting on the wall, so he’s just hiding.

    
    The economy IS finally in a slow recovery after Republican led disasters, we’re out (sort of) from the Iraq war and closing down in Afghanistan. That of course is sad/bad news for the “defense” industry, but good news for the rest of the world. Now if he also tells AIPAC and Netanyahu to “shove it” because we won’t support a war with Iran, another step forward would be taken.

    
    Tens of thousands of dead people for a fraud, including over 5,000 Americans, speak to the failures of not just “W”, but the Republican/defense/conservative “action plan” speaks volumes, as to why they should lose all power, so the country can continue to recover, and improve the “state of the union”.

    He is a Conservative? So you now love Conservatives, or do you now dislike Obama and all he stands for?

    Actually, Boehner alternated between glassy-eyed, licking his lips, and looking like he needed a cigarette break. He was so disconnected, he even applauded when he shouldn’t have.
