I didn't watch the SOTU last night because I was busy watching an important college basketball game and knew I could learn about the speech by reading today. Here is the way I learned what Obama said much more humorously written than his speech writer could write it.
Of course, many here won't manage to read much of this one because there is just too much truth in it as to what he said and other things.
I'm glad conservative thought wasn't en vogue when NASA was created or when the Internet was being developed or when the interstate highway system was created or when the trans continental railroad was built or when the GI bill was passed or...

Huh?
A Republican president was in office for the start of building the trans-continental railroad (1863.)
The building of the interstate highway system was funded and put into full swing (1956), and NASA was created under a Republican president (1958.)
While the "internet" was developed over many decades while presidents of both parties were in office, it started under ARPA (1958), which, you guessed it, was started under a Republican president. The G.I. bill was started under a Democrat (1944.)
You need to fact check your statements before making them. You are 1 for 5 in your post.

Conservatives are hypocrites for sure, which is why more are moving towards libertarianism.

Are you glad that Obama changed the focus of NASA to have its number one priority be helping Muslim countries feel good about themselves? Because afterall, there is no way the United States could manage any kind of noteworthy space exploration as a country on its own. (I'm kind of glad Kennedy didn't feel that way.)

You didn't miss a damn thing. He's so full of it he makes no sense.
Obamaspeak for "investing" means shoveling more tax dollars into existing half-assed federally funded programs without fixing the existing issues within those programs FIRST.
The man obviously has never owned his own business, has no business sense and should stop *****-footing/wordsmithing around what the real deal is.
He was campaigning -yet again.
He has no REAL solution for anything. All talk, all "feel-good" BS.
Well, looks like it's up to me to be the voice of reason and explain the "investing."
We've watched China surge forward over the past twenty years while we've lost ground. The Chinese have been building infrastructure while ours has gone to seed. The Chinese (and Japanese, Koreans, and Europeans) have built extensive networks of high speed railways in their countires. We have none.
If America is going to get serious about being competitive in the future, we DO have to invest in the basics that will make it happen.
Our rail system, electrical grid, many city water/sewer systems, and heavily travelled highways have been neglected for three decades and they're showing the wear and tear.
We can let them go to h*ll and keep slipping further behind our competitors or we can do something about it.
I agree with thepresident: it will be better for America to get these things updated and repaired.
Bush spent us into the biggest deficit in history and yet he did nothing about these issues. Kinda makes you wonder what he spent all that money on, doesn't it?

Dude, so are liberals.
