I personally would have liked to nationalize the banks instead of bailing them out and them handing out HUGE bonuses with taxpayer money.

I personally have a problem with banks making risky investments with depositors money. They need to decide if they want to be an investment bank or a commercial bank that loans money to consumers, businesses, etc. You shouldn't be able to do both.

Republicans and Dems have to work together. I agree Dems haven't been perfect but you can't blame it all on them.


(Wow, it's so sad to see the sad looks on the military leaders faces. Honestly, what is so horrible about gays serving in the military? Get over yourselves already!)

I will say this I am probably the most impressed and have a slight tingle running up my leg listening to him tonight.

In all seriousness 99% of what he has said tonight I was very impressed with and I pray he follows through on and I also pray that if he does open the door to Republicans that they don't act like asses and turn away.

"Right wing failed us for 8 years

Right wing is blocking legistlation and providing no answers

Right wing is responsible for the recession

Right wing is playing politics

Right wing screwed up laws over federal lobbyists

Right wing is not looking out for the people

Right wing made us broke



Now... we need to stop being partisan. Lets work together to fix all the above. Please oh please republicans, don't vote against our policies."


The State of the Union Address has been brought to you by "no tears" baby shampoo. Thanks for watching.

Do you get "tingles" up your leg? Some of us have not, did not and will not. Sorry.

The stimulus has not created a single job and that is the truth.

I am concerned what he is doing and have a right to voice my opinion. If you do not like it you can use the ignore button.

I watched liberals in this country demean our President Bush for 8 years, post daily hate numbers of deaths of our heros and wish the economy do go down so they could blame Bush. I watched the liberal hate machine for the last 8 years and you have the nerve to tell me I post hate.

It is not hate. It is fact, Obama has failed us. Sorry you cannot see what his failures has done to this country.

I know, anyone who post anything about Obama is a racist or hateful.

As usual this is wrong and just a way to make yourself feel better.


EVEN HARRY REID IS YAWNING AND GOING TO SLEEP.

This speech is the most boring I can ever remember from anyone.


Poor Harry is about to go to sleep.
I'm sorry you think that trolling, writing only hateful things and lying are the "truth."

You are clearly struggling to make a point because you are resorting to capital letters, bold, making things up and trolling.

"A New Year Has Come, I Don't Quit, We Don't Quit"

A new year, yes, election year; and Democrats will be voted out.

53 Standing Ovations - sitcom style.
