President Obama 2011 State of the Union speech thread

[GTaudiophile]

I agree with keeping the uni graduates here...at least those who excel in certain subjects.

As for the illegal kids...send them home with their parents.

 

[dmcowen674]

What's this shadows he speaks of?

They are first in line draining all the coffers with hand outs courtesy of taxpayers.

 

[Zorkorist]

I've heard it all before.

He's ignoring the Big Bull Elephant, in the room.

"Fully Paid For"

If you're playing a drinking game, that's a shotgun

"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

[Hayabusa Rider]

I'm not about to watch it. Hopefully someone will summarize the sophistry.

 

[GTaudiophile]

Food? Safe to eat?

You mean Big Farm killing local growers so we can eat more fake Taco Bell meat?

 

[Zebo]

LOL What bullshit I've never paid so much for health care since Obama's been in Business.

 

[Zorkorist]

Now he's arguing the benefits of Government.

It seems to me that the people who quote that so often are usually quite willing to ignore the standards of entrance applied to immigrants associated with that time period.

Those who wish to take sanctuary in the freedoms provided by our great nation must do so in the same manner as the immigrants who built this nation. To allow otherwise is an insult and a disservice in and of itself. Those who are given everything, have nothing.

Who was that hot red head?

Good, it's about time you join the rest of us peons.

It seems to me that America is a Melting Pot, and will benefit from the energy of new people. Always.

Your problem, is with our state giving out welfare, which I am against.

-John

 

[GTaudiophile]

Deficit? Deficit?

Where is talk on the debt?

America is a melting pot..or was. Now we have classrooms that are Spanish speaking only. Instead of teaching the future generation to learn English, we will just keep them from it. There are probably many more examples of how we aren't melting together any more but keeping each one's own culture and not trying to integrate.

Also, as for the speech, I can't disagree with anything he said so far. Pretty good speech..but they are only words. I hope he follows through with everything he says.

 

[jackstar7]

There's a promise that's going to be hard to keep. (Earmarks)

 

[GTaudiophile]

I agree with some of this stuff...lobbyists, etc.

But I heard it all before during his presidential campaign. He never lifted a finger when he bad both houses of government.

 

[PeshakJang]

Just banned earmarks. You all heard it.

 

[UberNeuman]

There's a promise that's going to be hard to keep.

yeah, that one kinda got me...

/still will be interesting to see if he can or will.

 

[Zorkorist]

Possibly the worst State of the Union speech I have ever heard.

He never grabbed the audience, me, had nothing new to say, and showed no sense of leadership at all.

He's given up.

-John

Zorkorist, can you give your top 10 SotU's?

 

[Hacp]

Obama doesn't get it. In order for there to be jobs, the cost of doing business needs to go down. Obama does not address this at all. Where are all his advisors? Are any of them buisiness people? Why can't anyone just yell it in his face? Costs like taxes, health care(and taxes associated with health care), regulation is what's hurting us.

It's the "fool me once thing". He's as big a hack as anyone else.

You should run for local office if you feel so strongly, once you're done stealing from your roommate.....
