The jobs number was accurate. As for the air traffic controllers, they staged an illegal strike and got what they deserved.:good_job:

I was thinking of the original repeal of Glass-Steagall in the '90s not the dissappointing lack of leadership that did not reenact it.

Actually, the problem began, IMO, with Clinton's appointment of Andrew Cuomo to head Fannie and Freddie.

A guy who knew NOTHING about the mortgage industry, because he was a political appointment.
 
Re: SOTU Address:

Content-wise I didn't much agree with Rubio but style wise I think he's a decent speaker. He needs to work on his nervous dry-mouth issue that made him stop the speech for a drink and that he felt the need to do a nonstop licking of his lips thingy. Other than that, I think his delivery was good.
 
Re: SOTU Address:

Well, that's a wrap. Almost two hours and nothing new. Obama did a good job rousing the crowd with his "desrves a vote" chorus, thing is HE'S not up for election next year.

That strike halted services across the country. If you refused to work, would you expect your boss to hold your job for you?

Again... LONG LIVE the KING!
 
Re: SOTU Address:

C-SPAN II right now. Rubio doing his speech all over again. This time in Spanish.
 
Re: SOTU Address:

Rubio's rebuttal certainly didn't seem to meet expectations.
 
Re: SOTU Address:

Anyone got a line on Rand Paul's speech? Where is it?
 
Re: SOTU Address:

Rubio 1
Obama 1
America 0
:boohoo:

I'm watching on CBS, they cut to a sitcom before the tea party guy.

The FAA is an arm of the executive branch of the government. The President heads that branch, it's his job to fire incompetent executive employees for the sake of the nation.

I never said he didn't have the authority. No discussion. No debate. **** 'em and toss 'em out.

Reagan fired the 11,345 striking air traffic controllers who had ignored the order,[6][7] and banned them from federal service for life.​

Could only imagine the republican outrage if Obama did this as much as we constantly hear about what a tyrant he is from them.

I thought one of the funniest things I ever heard was Hillary trying to mimic the black dialect when she ran against Obama......

If she and Rubio run, I can't WAIT to hear her trying to mimic the Spanish dialect, while Rubio speaks his fluent Spanish.

Every time Rubio pauses, when he restarts he does some weird thing with his tongue.

I like when he wipes the flop sweat from his upper lip ... and idiotically ducked down to grab a sip of water because he apparently couldn't soldier through the next two minutes without one. At least he did better than Jindal. lol

Bob Schiefer made a good point saying that the response is always at a huge disadvantage because, in contrast to the SOTU, there's no huge audience applauding and giving standing ovations every other sentence.

Rubio won't get the nomination if he speaks Spanish.

It's called leadership.

When your boss tells you to do something, and tells you what the results will be if you don't, and you IGNORE him, he really has no choice if he wants the other employees to respond to him in the future.

Perfectly stated view of authoritarians. Suck dick or face the consequences.

Yep, they didn't say "how high" fast enough. It's good to be king.

Bush did, but he likely followed it up with that ice breaking laugh of his.
