SOTU Address:[W: 378; 1310; 1451]

Re: SOTU Address:

Obama gives lip service and appeals to the poorly informed who buy rhetoric over results. The poorly informed continue to support Obama and are the ones that benefit from the dependent society.

What"lip service and appeals" did BO give that you consider to be an appeal to our poorly informed citizenry?

Yeah, it's not like he overcame the Bush Meltdown, ended the Iraqi fisaco, killed Bin Laden, saved the US auto industry, passed health care reform, raised taxes on the rich, and has the economy growing again.

Oh, but I forgot, you don't consider that progress because Paris Hilton didn't get a tax break, the only criterion for "results" in the obsessed minds of conservatives.
 
Re: SOTU Address:

If you'd prefer, we could focus on Rubio's lie
s and exaggerations.
Marco Rubio response fact check - POLITICO.com

You mean NOT talk about the endless lies and exagerations from your President ?

He said the State of our Union was great or fantastic or something like that.

Care to explain what in the hell he was talking about ?

Because I dont get that sense of optimism when I objectively look at the facts.

Exploding debt, 8,500,000 people dropping out of our labor force, our central bank monetizing the debt, a shrinking economy, increasing dependent class, a rise of Islamic fundamentalism, increasung unemployment, rising fokd and fuel prices,, the bond market bubble, increasing urban violence, increasing State and local debt..

Out of that I dont get "fantastic" or "great" or whatever nonsensical rhetoric he used to lie about the state of our economy.

Where is the 2.5 trillion in actual cuts in spending? Where are the Jobs? Where are the pro growth economic policies? Where are the cuts in the numbers of people on taxpayer assistance? Where are the reductions in shootins in states that have tough gun control measures now? What exactly has Obama done to improve the economy, jobs, and economic growth?

Lol....the Democrat mandated meltdown, healthcare is a joke and is far more expensive than you lying liberals suggested.

The economy is NOT growing, thats just a bald face lie.

Tax's on the rich is a manufactured false narrative only really stupid people are impressed by.

He killed Bin Laden with his own two hands right ? And then spiked the football.


How desperate is the lefts position when all they have left is lying to themself ?

Growth averaging over 2%, job creation now outperforming Bush's average (despite the recesssion Bush gifted to Obama), revenues up, stock market up, gun control finally on the horizon.

Keep dancing.

So many rigthwing memes in one post.

Regrettably for you, the American people are on to you and the rightwing noise machine. Which is why Obama gave the SOTU address and not Romney.

LOL, Bush left office in January 2009 and it is February 2013 and you continue to blame Bush for the economic results of Obama. You qualify as a poorly informed Obama supporter. You buy rhetoric and ignore the results. Like far too many young people you believe taxing the rich solves all the problems yet you never look at the consequences of taxing productivity. One of these days when you get out in the real world you will understand how liberalism made a fool out of you.

Bush meltdown with a Democrat controlled Congress
Ended Iraq War based upon the Status of Forces agreement negotiated by Bush in 2008
Last I heard it was Navy SEALS that killed Bin Laden and from what I can tell the war on terror isn't over.
Didn't know that GM and Chrysler were the entire auto industry. Taxpayers are still holding the bag for billions and you call that a success?
Healthcare reform that drives up the costs of healthcare and doesn't cover everyone is a success to a progressive?
Raising taxes on the rich if totally collected will net 80 billion per year to the Treasury and still have trillion dollar deficits
Economic growth was negative last quarter, apparently a good deal for progressives/

The new liberal normal, high taxes, low economic growth, a dependent society, high unemployment. A true dream world?

Give Whips and HOJ time to flip through their Obama issued handbook on " how to lie unconvincingly when confronted with truth "

2cnd edition and now it comes free with the purchase of "Dreams of my Father"

Lots of pictures.....

3rd edition is rumored to be a pop-up picture book.

And those six questions, answered my one question.How?
 
Re: SOTU Address:

Keep dancing.

Growth isn't over 2% and if it is that is still the worst recovery in this modern history of this nation. Bush economic growth 9.9 trillion to 14.4 trillion in 8 years. What were you saying about Obama economic growth?

It really is sad that you buy the rhetoric and ignore the actual results. Were you this thrilled about the stock market when it went over 14000 in 2007? We were in better position then than we are right now and what happened in 2008? Talk about dancing, you have yet to get on the floor.
 
Re: SOTU Address:

How what? Didn't Obama say we have cut 2.5 trillion in spending? Where are those cuts? Where are the jobs Obama promised when he took office as arent there 22 plus million unemployed/under employed/discouraged workers? Where is that strong economic growth Obama promised? Keep buying the Obama rhetoric.
 
Re: SOTU Address:

Barack Obama’s comments in the State of the
Union address?

The poorly educated mass of losers that elected Obama are NOT the "American People".

Not with 30 Republican Govenors and a GOP house.

Face it all you have is GM lives and Bin Laden died when the GM and Chrysler bailout cost tax payers billions.

The rest of your rhetoric is a desperate attempt to re-affirm your allegiance for a failure of a administration.

You might want to keep it to your self from now on.
 
Re: SOTU Address:

Obama said we are imporing less oil...so why is the price higher right now?...take a guess...cmon..

Because oil companies are crooks and "supply and demand" does not apply to them?

And you consider those six questions to be aimed, exclusively " to our poorly informed citizenry"?

You call sitting on the brink of a huge real estate bubble a better position than we are right now? LOL you are a true partisan.

It won't be long before many of those Govs. and the Teaparty House are out on their ears. What will you say then?

Hardly a failed administration.
 
Re: SOTU Address:

Hardly a failed administration.

The Economy just shrunk after his failed Administration flushed 6 trillion down the toilet

Anyone who is still buying into Obama's nonsense at this point has been brainwashed into a Cult

I've never seen so much faith in a politician before, who has made the same promises over and over, with only negative results.

It's worship. Not logic.
 
Re: SOTU Address:

"The American people don’t expect government to solve every problem. They don’t expect those of us in this chamber to agree on every issue. But they do expect us to put the nation’s interests before party. (Applause.) They do expect us to forge reasonable compromise where we can. For they know that America moves forward only when we do so together, and that the responsibility of improving this union remains the task of us all."

Which goes to show that results don't matter to far too many and that is why this country is in the shape it is in. People love the rhetoric, isn't it time to focus on the results?
 
Re: SOTU Address:

You call sitting on the brink of a huge real estate bubble a better position than we are right now? LOL you are a true partisan.

I call the results today a disaster and we are in worse shape today than when we went into the recession of 2007. Unlike you results matter to me, not rhetoric. Debt 16.5 trillion dollars, over 22 million unemployed/under employed/discouraged workers, record numbers on food stamps and other taxpayer assistance. Apparently that bodes well for the poorly informed.
 
Re: SOTU Address:

LOL, Bush left office in January 2009 and it is February 2013 and you continue to blame Bush for the economic results of Obama.

Yep, the biggest recession in 70 years has longterm effects. Why does that perplex you? Oh, I get it, you want to pretend economic history started yesterday. I guess if I had Bush and his failed conservative policies to defend, I'd take that knownothing position too. So I feel your pain.

Sorry but you haven't proven that this was a worse recession than 81-82 and since you probably weren't around then you never will. You are someone who buys the rhetoric and ignores the actual data and results. Unlike you I understand how our economy works and what makes it work, people not govt.
