Is this the first State of the Union Address you have ever watched? That happens in every State of the Union my man.

*turns off television*
Hopefully the Republicans don't use this opportunity as a rebuttal to try and steal Obama's thunder.

yeah a nice speech is all it isOriginally Posted by Nike Star Jay
Seriously.
All this promising as usual, but how many of his proposals will follow through.
The student loans proposal did get me excited though.
he gave nice speeches before he became president
he still has not done anything and will n ot do anything against lobbyists, corporations, etc
I don't expect any transparency either
I wonder what happens if the economy is not stronger next year
yes schadenfreude

I guess it's just "wait and see," but I don't think anyone should place much weight on Obama's words and promises any longer.Originally Posted by DaNiKeRhiNo
If he goes through with what he says, this speech will definitely be remembered.

As a person, yes I like him... As a politician, I voted for him, campaigned for him, and defended him. I'd love nothing more than support him.. But this guy is appeasing Republicans way too much. He needs to drop the Bipartisanship line because it is +$!%@@!+ when Republicans hate him.. Let it go, and do progressive agenda. Go to the left not the center right on everything..

Being openly gay in the military will NOT be a good thing...
I have no problem with gays in the military, but it's a stigma you do NOT want around the good ol' boys.

Then they should be allowed to serve as who they are...
The only people who have a problem are those who can't handle it because they are intolerant..

He's right though... How are we going to have a 1,000 page proposal no one has fully read? And they want to pass it before someone reads it? Fishy...

They're carefully placed, along with the white woman and man in the military to try to appeal to as many groups as possible and to look more diverse.

Both my parents were in the military and they pretty much knew when someone was gay or not after being around them long enough. I don't see why its such a big deal. Granted, I could see the military housing alot more anti-gay people than many other professions but still, its long overdue.Originally Posted by Mr Fizzy Womack

I understand your feelings. But what you don't see is he doesn't appease the Republicrats. He has locked them out of all forms of negotiations and only is changing his tone because he lost his super majority. And his progressive agenda and moving farther left, which he wants this country to do, is exactly why voters in Massachusetts said no and voters around the country will. The majority of Americans want to get back to the basics and fix our economy, end these wars (while protecting ourselves from terrorism). They don't want to move to a progressive socialist America. Tonight he sunk his feet in the mud and could very well come back to bite him in this years elections.
lol...The polls of Democrats/Independents who voted for Obama and either stayed home or voted for Brown say 100% different... But no point of bringing those up because you will never cease the argument. It's ok

It's funny because you can tell they're trying hard to show the republican party as this inclusive, diverse group of people, which they really aren't. if i thought they were really trying to diversify their party and move away from this all-white southern image then i wouldn't find it funny, i'd find it commendable. but i dont believe the party is trying to do that. i believe they want to move even more to the right which is why i can't eff with them even though i have serious problems with the dems.
