With Herman Cain giving the tea party response, it's going to be a not to miss train wreck

Of course you wont but you'll surely comment on what you "heard" about the speech..Par for the course.

Yep, he'll be full of divisiveness, which is the cornerstone of his campaign.
Cayman Romney must be the most pompous clown on the planet..He ironically choose to make a divisive statement before the President has uttered a word. But, alas, we know what Governor Tax Haven is trying to do. He's simply laying a preemtive strike in a weak attempt to head off Obama using him as a clear illustration of how the extremely wealthy are enabled by our laws which Cayman wants to enhance. It's why Cayman didn't want to release his records, it's why has already flatly refused to do what his father did to ensure that this one year wasn't a sham. But as we already know, republican sheeple will side with Cayman because in their deluded brains they're all wealthy in waiting..Very sad.

Its that attitude that diminishes the state of the union address to the meaningless thing it usually is.

If everyone is paying attention, then you have to be more careful about what you say.

BARF!

Let me guess:
  1. Obama is going to ask for a few trillion more in spending for various things that he'll claim will "jump start" the economy.
  2. He'll tell us that unemployment is now well below 9% (even though the real figure is around 13%)
  3. He'll tell us how many jobs he's created (even though there is no evidence, and he shut down the XL Pipeline project, and thus 200,000 jobs, and has continued to block drilling in the gulf, leaving those people without work, and the rigs leaving for foreign waters.
  4. He'll speak about "green" energy.
  5. He'll praise the Unions (he'll use the term, "workers").
  6. He'll blame Republicans for obstructing "needed" legislation, and scold them for opposing a ridiculous 1 month extension of a payroll tax reduction that only promises bankrupt Social Security. What it is is a plan that actually de-funds Social Security.
This will be more of the same lies and deception that we have come to expect from Obama and Democrats.

First of all, I don't have a television and don't want one. Secondly I will be traveling tonight. Thirdly as all presidents do just prior to a election year, this will be a election campaign speech and NOT a state of the union address. This isn't my first rodeo....

Mitt Romney has a brother,...Cayman Romney? Wow!!! Who knew?

There is a BIG positive for this SOTU address. We won't have to watch Nancy Pelosi pop up out of her chair behind Obama every time Obama's lips move.

I don't know if anyone saw the "Morning Joe" show this morning on MSNBC as
Zbigniew Brzezinski, former U.S. National Security Advisor spoke about why America is in decline and is seen around the world as a declining nation.
Many of these comments echo his concerns about how ignorant the American people are about the important issues that face us and this speech is not meant to be about whether Obama is disliked or liked. It is serious stuff and so far I haven't heard anything from the republicans to suggest they have the answers. The speech is meant to be a "pep rally" just like in high school before
the homecoming game.
