Oh, okay. I'll give in. Yes, it's terrible that you don't get to watch Jersey Shore or Real Housewives tonight.

Obama going to ruin another tv program on Monday evening...
Well, you were spot on weren't you?

Blame Bush, blame the GOP, play the rich-poor card and use any and all scare tactics.

First, the country is not on the brink of collapse.

Second, the president's speech will have zero impact on the future of this country.

So yes, people should go ahead and watch Beavis and Butthead. At least it would be entertaining.

Funny, to me watching President Obama and Speaker Boehner is watching Beavis and Butthead.

You don't really believe that do you? By the way, it would be $400 trillion over 120 years..... wow!

There will be NO REDUCTION in spending. I'll be a large sum of money that spending over the next five years will all be more than the current year regardless of what bozo and congress agree to.

No use to see what he has going on tonight. Empty words, and empty promises.

And lets blame everyone else we can, except myself, for this mess we are in.

Yet, you don't care that the sitting president and his party failed to pass a budget in 2010.

Obamalemmings - God love 'em.

yeah nice that Obama has done everything he can but those damn GOP whiners, are the ones holding this country hostage.

Obama is compromising, but nope the GOP (aka Rich repubs) want to have nothing to do with it.


Its either cut all spending and services and raise taxes Or let this country fail

I don't mind the raising of taxes IF the spending can be reformed and services that are nothihng more than sucking the money out of our system end.

also, I would asses each corporation that if they send jobs out of this country, they have to pay $10K in fees per employee hired outside of the US.

...........isn't it better for him to stay of the tv and sit in a meeting with both parties instead of his redoric.
So record it. My brother-in-law worked for a TV station; says this is a common complaint when news interrupts "regularly scheduled programming", especially soap operas.
