Video courtesy of the Washington Post.
Here is the full text of the State of the Union speech. I will put up the video later when the speech is over.
This is going to trip up some Republicans:
I'm a Democrat. But I believe what Republican Abraham Lincoln believed: That Government should do for people only what they cannot do better by themselves, and no more. That's why my education reform offers more competition, and more control for schools and States. That's why we're getting rid of regulations that don't work. That's why our health care law relies on a reformed private market, not a Government program.
You could almost hear the GOP sphincters closing up. all over the room.
Update: I can't get enough of this.

Holy shit, he is knocking it out of the park! UNBELIEVABLY stunning how he is hitting on EVERY point so magnificently. AWESOME!
Landslide!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No, Palin is not, repeat NOT, allowed to touch our President.
ReplyDeleteShe is a walking human cancer, and everything she touches withers and dies.
Have you sen her hair?
No? That's because she kept touching it!
--If he'd legalize weed, he'd be perfect ;)
ReplyDeleteHEAR! HEAR! I still think he will, but not at this moment.
Rock on President Obama!
ReplyDeleteThe man has soul.
ReplyDeleteScarah Palin getting a hug from President Barack Obama....I have no doubt that he would give her a hug .... it would be the Christian thing to do ..... but I doubt the Scarah would get that close to the BLACK man. Sorry bitch!
ReplyDeleteYou see that $arah?
ReplyDeleteYOU Might have been invited to the State of the Union
YOU might have been able to greet Gabby on the floor of the House
YOU might have been invited to the after parties
YOU WOULD have gained stature and many points for just saying "yes, maybe my rhetoric was a bit over the top after the shootings.
YOU WOULD have gained just a little bit of crediblity from most Americans after the shooting if you had got off your lazy ass, and flown to Tucson for the memorial
and been humble enough to sit in the crowd and pay your respects to the dead.
YOU HAD the opportunity of a lifetime handed to you to resurrect credibility with voters beyond the PBotz circle, but you were too mean, too hateful, and too savagely intent on nursing grudges than reaching out to suffering people.
IF YOU had even expresed some decent human feelings toward the victims and towards Gabby, and publicly denounced violence, you would be a better person for it.
Golly Gee $arah, it might even the Christian thing to do, what about that?
But there you sit in your isolation in Wasilla chewing your nails, pulling out your hair, and scheming on the next nasty thing you can say about the President, Gabby, and all the people in power, and you're just an old washed up hag now.
Sarah, you ARE schackled, you just can't see that the chains are made from hatred, and the lock is your own sad delusion and mental sickness.
If the members of the Republican "clown car" have any ability to self-reflect, they are saying, "Oh, my God". Compared to the Republican "debates" we just saw a whole other ballpark. It make Gingrich look like the buffoon he si.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous @5:58 PM "maybe someday sarah palin will get a hug from barack obama".
ReplyDeleteIn her dreams.
Sarah want the President in the worst way but realizes that he is so far above her league.
This State of the Union speech was well balanced. I thought it hit one out of the park.
ReplyDeleteThis President is simply the best we all are. Keep him safe.
ReplyDeletesarah would probably have to be choking to death to get a hug from barack
ReplyDeleteAnd thus the opening salvo of the Presidential re-election campaign.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great speech. He might even win back some Progressive's this year.
Oh God, the F'n "rebuttal".
How in the heck is this even allowed. Can you imagine a Democrat "rebutting" President Bush? And who exactly is this ....person... that they got to "rebut"?
I'm with Hammer. Smoke 'em if you've got 'em!
ReplyDeleteOh no, he didn't!
ReplyDeleteThe Governor of Indiana did NOT just say that President Obama was a divider, did he?!?
I believe he DID say that!

Sarah tried to approach Obama at one of those White House correspondents dinners, but she was blocked. No one wants her near the President.
ReplyDeleteI just listened on NPR as was in car. Sounds like Obama did a good job and Daniels had some good points as well.
ReplyDeleteWhen Obama spoke about states forcing students to stay in school until they graduate, it struck me that Alaska would have to create a task force just for the Palins.
ReplyDeleteEverybody hates you, Scarah. In case you didn't know.
ReplyDeleteGREAT speech. Our awesome President hit another one out of the park. The Gabby hug made me cry as I remembered President Obama praying at her bedside while she was unconscious. Lovely moment. And, wasn't the First Lady glowingly beautiful?
ReplyDeleteMitch McConnell looked whipped. Eric Cantor was seething. And John "get me a woman V.P." McCain was irrelevant. I loved this State of the Union! And, no hugs for Sarah. It'd be like George Bailey shaking hands with Mr. Potter. And there's that toe fungus thingy ...
Thank you, Mr. President!
ReplyDeleteAnd, yes Mitch Daniels just gave one of the snarkiest opposition speeches I have ever heard.

Great speech and some points that the GOP will find very hard to disagree with.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful moment with Gabby Giffords...two very special people brought together by history. She looked absolutely radiant tonight. It's almost impossible to believe that she was shot in the head a mere year ago. The woman is truly amazing.
I stopped watching the Republican response as soon as Daniels lied about the number of jobs projected for the Keystone XL pipeline.

ReplyDeleteI don't think about Sarah Palin - President Barack Obama
ReplyDeletePresident Obama absolutely hit it out of the park. This is his moment. Why let what's-her-face share it with him?

I immediately had the same thought, Anonymous @6:45 PM!
ReplyDeleteIf states enact President Obama's suggested law that one must remain in school until one graduates or reaches the age of 18, the Palins luckily missed out. (However, there still is Piper.)
How pathetic is it the Pretender to the Presidency, Sarah Palin has three children who have not completed high school (except through an extorted GED) and have no real job skills except in procreation.
What a model family for the GOP's moral values.

My husband has been out of work for 5 months, but we still made a small donation just before the State of the Union Address. Love our President! All blessings to him and his family.
ReplyDeleteI didn't even waste my time watching the Republican response. Just loved President Obama's speech - he put it all out there!
ReplyDeleteLove the scene w/he and Gabby especially. Cannot even imagine a top seated Republican being so loving and kind in the same photos. The Repubs sat on their asses w/no smiles or expression. What jerks. Get them out of office folks....President Obama will be reelected - I'm assured of that!
Andrew Sullivan is on Colbert! Oh, please, please, please ask about Trigtruthergate!
ReplyDeleteWOW!! That was FABULOUS!! The President waxed that Republican ASS and never had to speak a name! We all know who he was talking about!
ReplyDeleteAnd that rebuttal by Mitch "Please-wake-me-when-I-finish-talking" Daniels was a snoozing, droning lie! Somebody must of told him to only face the camera half way...because when he stood facing the camera he turned into one those fish where one eye was waaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy over there and the other eye did the same...it was hella distracting!
Eventually I tuned him out because he put me to sleep and I still hadn't eaten dinner!
Now when President Obama hugged Gabby....I couldn't help but cry! She looked wonderful!
Ugh...and did ya'll see that crusty ass McShame? And the Turtle....Mitch McConnell made me sick with his upside mouth! And that little freaking weasel Cantor!
*spits on the ground in disgust*
And last and the least was John "Orange-Crybaby" Boner....he looked DRUNK and at one point I think he might have taken a discrete pull on his pocket flask...but don't quote me on that! LOL!
All in all....the Republicans don't stand a damn chance and somewhere in the woods of Dead Lake Lucille a bald headed,
crazed, mannish face, mangy Ex Gov of Alaska is screeching....TAWWWWWWWWDDDDDDD!
Gryphen...lock your doors and set your alarms! The pitbull in lipstick has slipped her leash! And she's RABID!!
Daniels can talk big about the XL pipeline. It doesn't go through Indiana and he's got nothing to lose.

ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBOVpIqMVoM&feature=player_embedded
FYI -- Andrew Sullivan is on Colbert tonight.
ReplyDeleteWhat we witnessed in those few brief seconds between the Prez and Gabby, was pure unharnessed love. Something Palin will never be able to give, nor receive. Obama is an extraordinary man among many. May the gods/goddesses grant him safe passage through the perilous years to come. Racial anger will explode in a torrent of red rage when he's voted in for a second term.
ReplyDeleteNow as for that bloodless, colourless, witless mole of a man who gave the GOP rebuttal? HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!
aaahhh.
Actually...he's quite a frightening fellow with all that squinting then staring, then squinting. Where do thy find these odd chappies?
Oh - and here's something to look forward to; Obama and The Gringch on stage together. Picture tall, statuesque Prez towering over the 5ft gargoyle!
Mitch Daniels is a Beancounter fearmonger and an embarrassment to all thinking people of Indiana (that would be the northern part of the state.
ReplyDeleteHe has short man syndrome, and along the way was such a dick that his wife abandoned her four young daughters just to get away form him.
He also was Bidget Director for GW Bush - 'nuf said there, except "he wants to give others financial advice? ROFLMAO
I watched the President's SOTU address. It was awesome!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed watching Bonner (sic) squirm in his seat. He looked like he was in an acoholic haze. He has a very serious nervous facial tic on right side of his mouth. Stress?
Gabby Giffords looked radiant - beautiful! Seeing her made me tear up. I am so happy she is recovering - and I believe she will be back!
ReplyDeleteWow! That was moving! I keep putting myself in her situation and I got to tell you, I don't think I could do anything close...
ReplyDeleteGryphen you seem like a very compassionate man. Good on you!

Daniels wouldn't give a shit if it went through Indiana, as long as it didn't go through Indianapolis. He's a hypocritical, parochial, narrow -minded short-sighted dweeb.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I know, I could have just said he's a Republican, same thing.

ReplyDeleteAs always you crack me up.

My husband said, "I like it! He sounds just like a Republican!" My husband was being catty. I wish he'd have simply said, "The President's speech is great!" Instead, he had to be a jerk about it. I ignored him as anything the POTUS said that he liked, he claimed a Republican idea behind it.
ReplyDeleteI am in-between. I don't care one way or the other what party he is. I try to support whomever is in office. If my person doesn't get in, hey, I will work ten times harder in the next election. I am really disappointed when people who are party-liners try to make it one way or the other, instead of being happy for the country when things go well.
Our President did well and I am proud of him. I am not proud of him as a Democrat, I am proud of him as a leader, and as a role model. He articulated what mattered to him, and what mattered to the rest of us. I'm glad we can all agree.

Pain Capital: Jon Stewart Destroys Mitt Romney Over His Tax Returns
ReplyDeleteAfter finding out Romney’s combined income came out to $56,986 a day, Stewart exploded in an incredulous rage.
“That’ses almost–that’s almost $57,000 a day!” Stewart exclaimed. “Here is the most amazing part: the guy doesn’t even have a job! That is f*cking interest! That is the kind of money that might lead a man to make stupidly extravagant out-of-touch impulse bets!”
Stewart then aired Romney’s infamous $10,000 bet to Rick Perry.
“How in the world do you — Mitt Romney justify making more in one day than the median American family makes in a year while paying an effective tax rate of the guy who scans your shoes at the airport!” Stewart asked.

I'm thrilled with this part of the speech:
ReplyDelete"And tonight, I am asking my Attorney General to create a special unit of federal prosecutors and leading state attorneys general to expand our investigations into the abusive lending and packaging of risky mortgages that led to the housing crisis. This new unit will hold accountable those who broke the law, speed assistance to homeowners, and help turn the page on an era of recklessness that hurt so many Americans."
Finally! And more good news: it will be headed by the NY AG.
http://andrewsullivan.thedailybeast.com/2012/01/more-dissents.html
Mitch Daniels was ridiculous. They made sure to have him use more common vernacular, stuff I doubt he would say himself, much less say in a nationally televised speech - phrases like "jacked up" and calling stuff "dumb". Going for the NASCAR dads or something? Completely contrived, and it fell flat anyway. So negative, so gloom and doom, and full of lies and distortions as usual.
ReplyDeleteThey got nuthin'! Do you think those Republicans sitting on their hands see the writing on the wall?
Our magnificent President, on the other hand... LOVE HIM!
Oops, in my haste I had inadvertently put up last year's speech.
ReplyDeleteMy bad.
All fixed now.
Gina@ 7:35!
ReplyDeleteBRAVO!
Damn...that's one great post.
"spitting on the ground in disgust", I'm still cracking up over that one!
LOL!
IMO tonight gave me hope that men would prevail and they'd try to reach out and work together. This President is decent, forgiving, a good sport, dedicated and humble. This gracious display compared to the madness displayed by the GOP candidates and some GOP spokespeople has demonstrated to Americans, I think, how embarrassing and foolish and irrational they've become.
ReplyDeleteSean Hannity tonight referred to the "anointed one's State of the Union Address". This disgusting man couldn't even respectfully address President Obama by his title and name. What Fox is showing is it's true unmasked hatred. But the nation is finally seeing who Sean and other's like him TRUE master is, and it isn't the Lord and Savior that they pretend to serve.
I think Paul Ryan said to his buddy, "I think he just stole all our talking points and used them to fuck us," at one point when the camera panned to him clapping.
ReplyDeleteLet's hear FOx Noise squeal about this! crickets.

When President Obama hugged Gabby that was a very touching moment.
ReplyDeleteYou can tell Gabby really cares about President Obama and vice versa.
Palin would say President Obama hugging is a sign of weakness.
Palin considers Gabby a casualty of war.... No more no less....
One can only imagine how a Romney would feel if they needed emergency hospital care and the nurse that was reading their vital signs and keeping their equipment in working order, like IV's and breathing tubes, was overworked, overtired, underpaid, stressed from trying to pay bills from their $54,000/year job.
ReplyDeleteOr knowing that their pilot was working overtime, and just found out that his/her work hours were reduced to a mere part-time schedule and he/she was losing benefits, including health benefits.
Mitt and his ilk need to wake up and get into the minds of the real folks. Newt as well. Who could trust him, he who would fork out several hundred thousand dollars to buy jewellery for his wife, while his campaign aides are probably being paid peanuts and working their backsides off.
I think these past few days are very revealing and becoming the wake up call to those tea partiers who thought these clowns were pursuing the nomination in teapartiers best interests.
Michele Bachmann, et al. They were a lot of hot air just weeks ago and today they're yesterdays news.
Sarah is gonna be hopping mad and chomping at the bit to attack the speech in the snarkiest, nastiest, mean girl harpy tone she can. She'll slime it in any way she can...because it was THAT good.

Well I agree with the Alaska school system kicking the Palin trash to the curb.
They just interfere with the teachings of the kids who want an education.
Teachers are tired of Sarah dictating that her kids deserves GEDs. According to Sarah it wasn't Bristol's fault she had a 9 month bout of mono.
I'm so fucking glad Willow is gone and if Piper acts up, throw her little disrespectful diva ass out like yesterdays garbage.
All four of Sarah's children are missing the genes that drives normal kids to be successful.
Sarah's retards are like Todd, all they ever want in life is a reality show.
Can't WAIT for the Bitch rebuttal! Word salad amundo. She's probably up all night trying to memorize or focus on a prompter what she has to say. If we think she looked like hell yesterday, hell hath no fury like tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteDid anyone notice if Joe "You Lie" Wilson had duct tape slapped across his face?
ReplyDeleteI don't like the 'date night' seating as I like to see all the Rethugs sitting on their hands, with the scowls on their dried up, wrinkled faces. Makes it better for showing on camera and then later the vid clips and chewing their asses out as you can't pick the Rethugs out as easily in 'the mix' unless the camera is right on them.
Also noted that only 5 Supreme Court Justices attended. Time for some major trash talking on those 'little dicks'
Sad Eric Cantor

BREAKING! Commander in Chief Barack Hussein Obama has done it again! Stealth middle of the night raid by our Navy Seals have freed two hostages from Somalia. An American and a Dane. While he was giving the speech? He even called out the Seals during the speech. Also 9 pirates were killed in the process. It's like a Hollywood movie with side by side actions going on. Man this guy is one cool cat.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, here's the scoop! It's a good day to be an Obama supporter!

After looking at clips of Gingrich's fake outrage, I realized that the question was strategically placed first so he can 1) read his scripted response 2) set the tone for him to be viewed as the victim and 3) pwn John King with his resurrecting tone of manly man answers as he rose from the ashes of the liberal media's disgusting questions and bias.
ReplyDeleteIt's all so staged to bring Romney down and all of them are in on it.
What's Romney got that they don't like besides being the master of the Republican game.
This is the first time I've ever even tried to sit through anyone's political speech (preferring to listen later to any "highlights").
ReplyDeleteI got distracted and could not reach the remote, and ended up getting sucked in to watching the entire thing (fortunately...it was historic.)
What was a real eye opener for me was to watch it with someone who has NO interest in politics, whatsoever...asking me "Now, just WHAT kind of an asshole could possibly be against what he just said?"
I'd wait til the camera found a squirming in his seat like he was having a hemorrhoid attack Eric Cantor, and say, "Him."
I quickly turned off the tv once it was over, not wanting to be angered by fools claiming the whole effort at encouraging UNITY was nothing more than a campaign speech.
As if what he was SUPPOSED to say was that the country is completely screwed up, and we should just give up and die.
While I watched some half hearted clapping by Boehner and others who must have realized the camera was on them as they were being bitchslapped by the President, I'm afraid that tomorrow, the meetings will commence, on how to sabotage things so that Obama doesn't continue to look so good.
It was nice to feel like we were all one, big, happy nation of eager beavers, hoping to make America great once again...but sadly, things will go right back to the way they were, tomorrow.
@10:35 PM - GREAT News! Thank you for posting. Shared this article right away on an Obama Supporter FB Group that I belong to. Happy Day!
ReplyDeleteSomeone on MSNBC made a huge point. Romney makes about $57K per day while the avg middle income is about $54K a YEAR.. It would take the avg. person a whole year to make what Romney makes in a days interest..
ReplyDeleteThe president got so many hugs and kisses how can the polls say anything is close? Everywhere he goes it's the same thing.
As expected, a fantastic speech by our President. Gabby Giffords is beautiful - her smile is a Billion Dollar Smile.

The rebuttal is a tradition. If the President is a Democrat, a Republican (chosen by his/her peers) gives the rebuttal, and vice versa.
6:05 pm. If you've been awake at all during the last three years, you will have noticed that laws are passed by Congress. That's been President Obama's biggest problem especially since the tea baggers have controlled the House since the 2010 election. Or didn't you notice.
ReplyDeleteCan someone tell me who the man sitting beside Gabby was? I noticed that he was so nice to her...observed him gently helping her stand and sit back down. Since it was "date night" seating, he must be a repug?
ReplyDeleteMy husband insists on having closed captioning so that when it would show people, I couldn't read their names.

You know what? I don't think Mitt would care about any of that. He would just consider those people as insignificant collateral damage. He has said as much.
I watched the entire thing on plasma. Gabby's husband's eyes glistened and lit up when she appeared and I got choked up. Then seeing Gabby embraced and rocked by President Obama, the waterworks started. My husband, whom I've seen cry maybe a dozen times in 26 years, asked me for a tissue because his "eyeballs were sweating". ;o)
ReplyDeleteI loved this speech, I have to admit that I expected something totally different, but he nailed every point quite succinctly.
The people we network with while working the phones for OFA were calling us and saying "Did you see that? Wow!"
The republican rebuttal was a sugar coated shit sadwitch. Daniels is full of it.Obama is lieing about the economy growing, Apple creates jobs- 700 thousand in singapore, about 30,000 retail jobs here, The gm cost us too much in stimulus money- WTF? "Bossy Government" the benefits of Keystone Trans Canada XL to the economy, jobs, and energy independance. That XL pipeline is the biggest threat to our drinking water. The commercials all but admit it by saying they'll "seal all drinking wells". The amount of water needed to "frack" is enormous, and has to be filtered - not very cost effective.
Obama 2012!
P.S. Sorry, Sarah, President Obama doesn't do "skank"
