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

Get back to me when your boys eat as big a hamburger on this issue as this lady just did the other day shown in this four minute vid...



This is soooooooo worth the watching.



She is absolutely correct!
 
This is page 113 of this thread. Conversations tend to progress in that time.

For progressives...:lamo

BTW, Warren is fortunate she won her Senate seat AND BHO didn't nominate her for CFPH head else she could have been sitting on the panel's table...

Fortunately she didn't, because she has a helluva lot more pull now in the position she's in.

I'm not sure I agree with this. The basis for this deviation from the OP is your posting of a video that shows Warren quizzing heads of organizations on why they haven't brought WS folks to court. I don't think she has the power NOW to do that...which she presumably would have heading up CFPH...as she is asserting (questionably).

Further, I don't thing the agencies she queried have the ability to 'take x to court'. IIRC their duty is furnish the results of their investigations to DA's/Att. Gen/ Justice dept for review and prosecution. Considering this Warren was merely grandstanding...she is going to fit right in!

Senate banking committee... that's a helluva position on in this field.

Grandstanding? What exactly would you like a senator in a hearing to do? And do you disagree with what she stated?

If she were actually grandstanding she wouldn't have posed questions as much as forwarding accusations IMO.

Senators do more than just vote. As that televised hearing showed.

Yes, grandstanding. What was said in this hearing that you didn't already know or presume? Do I disagree? Don't know as I am not privy to all the evidence.

Her questions WERE thinly veiled accusations, IMO. One would presume, based on the rhetoric this administration has advanced concerning 'Wall St. crimes' there would be ample support from Justice to prosecute...but considering the respondants in the hearing 'what's wrong with this picture'? Considering this...yes grandstanding.

Oh yea, what interesting facial characteristics she has . Almost like her facial features are reminiscent of a class of people that would allow her access into programs and scholarships that were specifically set aside for someone of HER ethnic disposition.

You may be impressed by whats basically a lying b+$& but I'm not. And I actually have Native American roots that are easily traced back through five generations on my mothers side.

I never needed to call on those qualifications and its unfortunate that someone who would lie about something like that would leave such an impression on people like you.

But then again at the core of every Liberal is at least one great compromise.

If she was a man, with spanish lineage, with the last name cruz you and your ilk would be calling it just about every other name in the book.

Oh wait she couldn't be Ted Cruz. There is not a stich of Native Indian in her
 
I wonder how worried the Republican party is of this stark contrast?


"This year, 82 percent of those who watched the speech said they approve of the president's plans for the economy, up from 53 percent who approved before the speech. Eighty percent said they approved of Mr. Obama's plans for the deficit -- in contrast to 45 percent before the speech."

Poll: High Marks for Obama's State of the Union Speech - Political Hotsheet - CBS News


"Eighteen percent of Americans approve of the job Congress is doing, as leaders continue to work toward a solution to the looming fiscal cliff. That approval rating is unchanged from last month, but remains low from a historical perspective."

Worried ?

Your President is running around like Chiken Little claming 300k furloughs from the Pentagon if sequestration goes through.

Continued deficit spending and inflating the bond market is the best you guys can do after 4 years of miserable economic conditions.

No, Republicans aren't worried in the least.

"President Barack Obama enters the latest budget showdown with Congress with his highest job- approval rating in three years and public support for his economic message, while his Republican opponents’ popularity stands at a record low. ":peace

At the end of the day the President is held responsible for policy decisions, especially those he initially backed and supported.

Bob Woodward: Sequester Was Obama's Idea | RealClearPolitics
BOB WOODWARD: First, it was the White House. It was Obama and Jack Lew and Rob Nabors who went to the Democratic Leader in the Senate, Harry Reid, and said, 'this is the solution.' But everyone has their fingerprints on this.

As is the speaker of the house who proclaimed that he got 98% of what he wanted when he got sequester.

I doubt the Republicans are very worried. I do wonder how worried the Democrat party is regarding these numbers. Who will they run in 2016 that has the ability rouse an audience liken to the current President? He exhibited these energetically persuasive oratory skills in the ’04 convention and has only honed these more as time has advanced, also as evidenced by the poll you posted. Reagan, Clinton and now Obama had/have these skills. Nixon, Carter, Ford, GHWB, GWB and Hillary…not so much.
 
Most of the GOP seem to have no clue they are setting themselves up to lose the
House over the next two elections.

We'll lose the house and the Democrats will lose the economy....whats left of it.

Is that something your proud of ? More people on Govt.services as our debt and defecit rise and our economy shrinks ?

No matter the pole, your ideology doesn't work as we are currently seeing evidence of.

Enjoy the misery
 
Either we're a nations of morons or the pole was skewed.

Your choice.

SOo....Do you have anything besides your opinion to bring to the table?:peace
