Well his campaign was all about HOPE and change so hoping for an economic miracle is at least consistent. I long ago gave up even listening to politicians (D's or R's) since they are all lying to you.

I want the 72 minutes of my life back. Considering where we are as a nation I think that blowing sunshine up the collective ass of the citizenry is nothing more than a slap in the face.

sounds like Republicans will play chicken with debt ceiling...how does Benny keep monetizing, if average bond issue turnaround is couple of weeks?
oh, and they have to ban tanning beds in DC, both Biden and Boehner match Obama skin tone...

Never seen anyone talk so much and do so little.
-We will create jobs, but we will eliminate multiple government agencies.
Okay.
-We can lower the corporate tax, by closing loopholes and in turn gain more revenue.
Ummm... were you saving those loopholes for a moment such as this? This just came to you now?

Empty, anemic, not founded in reality.
That was the most pathetic SOTU of all time
That SOTU delivery was to placate the mouth-breathing media.
It was simply to buy him more time before a white hot light
finds him scurrying for cover with all of the other cockroaches.
He is striving to rule by decree. He has that with Exec Orders and veto.
How does it feel America when the person you have chosen to
represent your nation is at best mediocre?
None of this will end well...

He really likes that term "This moment". We should add this to the drinking game.

I didn't watch, except for 30 seconds here and there. I did see that McCain and Kerry went to the SOTU Junior Prom (as Michelle Malkin is calling it) together. Shudder to think what they were cooking up...
Unfortunately, our President is not qualified to handle any economic or military matters but isn't smart enough to realize it. Most of the Congress would be lost and on the welfare programs they either castigate or fiercely protect if they had to prove themselves in private industry. If we are depending on these people to lead us out of economic difficulties, we are in a world of trouble. They need to get out of the way, stop passing laws that protect their donors, and let those of us who have a freaking clue how the real world works get on with our lives and our work. They'll never do it because they think they know everything and aren't smart enough to know how very little they do know. Any member who has been in Congress more than 10 years has been there too long.

Anderson Cooper 360 on CNN: Polling and audience reactions to parts of the speech.
Polled 475 Americans who watched, mostly Democrats watched, most came away with very positive reactions to the speech. 77% said it made them feel more positive about America.

Drench,
Did Cooper say if these people were playing the SOTU drinking game? That could explain why they had a positive feeling...

My impression of Obama is that he really doesn't understand any of the issues in depth and just has his speech writers mash together the consensus view of the technocrats in his cabinet into something he can say on a teleprompter. He doesn't really have any vision or even an ideology. It's just a fun job to him and he muddles through like someone at the office cooler trying to repeat what he read in the Economist last week.
