Official SOTU thread

[lawgator1]

An hour away.

Predictions?

I say that the Republican response on the floor is muted. No "You lie!" type moments, because it is starting to dawn on the GOP that they are in trouble on the fairness issue.

But afterwards, they will scream bloody murder. Fox commentators may stroke out.

You so mad the GOP is f'n u up with the truth LG...And you just can't STAND IT

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

I predict there will be a lot of hot air in the room. I also predict that I won't be watching because it will just be a rehash of Obama talking points.

 

[Gramps]

Like Obama or not, he is POTUS and those attending the SoU should respect the office.
They can sit during the entire speech and never clap but they should not be yelling out anything at the POTUS.

I don't care if the POTUS is a Dem, GOP or third party, the office deserves to be respected.
Just my 2 cents

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Drinking game?
Take a drink every time he says republicans.

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

Take a drink every time he says "income inequality" or mentions that the wealthy "need to pay their fair share."

You'll be wasted before he finishes his first sentence.

Sigh....

 

[dembewbs]

I see my boy John Roberts is keeping it real....

 

[Weezy]

I thought the Gifford hug could have used a little less cheese.

 

[The Ron Mexico]

I hate the applause. Just get on with it. Every damn year.

 

[Weezy]

Hey-ohh...throw one back for your first fair share.

Less cheese would completely go against the mood for which they are aiming.

Why wouldn't Boner applaud more jobs ?

 

[myrobbins7]

More shovel ready jobs on tap tonight?

 

[Gramps]

3 million jobs created.
GM the #1 auto maker in the world

 

[The Ron Mexico]

Lock makers FTW!

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

Why wouldn't Boner applaud more jobs ?

Because it's just more Obama platitudes. He has yet to create ****, except mountains more debt.

 

[The Ron Mexico]

John Boehner hates jobs. Except for jobs at tanning salons.

An AMT for multinationals with proceeds going to breaks for hiring here. Interesting.

 

[The Ron Mexico]

Another government office full of bureaucrats just got announced. Yes! That'll fix everything!

I am pretty sure you misunderstood.

Sounds like a hundred lawyers sitting in a room to find out how to get around it and save millions. Either that or it's going to hurt multinationals stay competitive by either adding an additional cost or forcing them to pay more for manufacturing.

Flat, low corporate tax rates. Stay out of the way, and let the market work.

LG, I am completely with you as far as capital gains rates, but the government needs to stop trying to influence business.

 

[BeecherVol]

Solid campaign speech so far. The "state of the union" is pretty cut and dry, that could be explained in about 5 mins.

 

[BeecherVol]

Another government office full of bureaucrats just got announced. Yes! That'll fix everything!

If we can get 3 or 12 more committees going we may pull through.

Every time I see Al Franken in the audience, it feels like an SNL skit.
