There's more gerrymandering in NY to insure that a Democrat will win - so both sides are guilty of it.

Soon, they will be getting free ride to community college.
It wasn't even a good burn because it wasn't truthful, just like the rest of his speech. What he forgot to mention, both there and through the entire speech, was that he LOST two midterms in historic fashion. Prior to the last drubbing, the dope even said that each and every one of his policies were on the ballot.
The only thing that quip did was highlight his narcissism and stubbornness. And, apparently, it brought a warm tingle in the groin to the low information voters who have a high school crush on a man who is incompetent in the eyes of any objective observer who hasn't had a lobotomy.
Obama's comeback to the Republicans clapping at his statement on "no more campaigns to run" has social media blowing up as the "best burn" to ever take place at the SOTU address.

Yes that is true, both sides have created very safe districts, though the Republicans have more safe districts than the Democrats. This is why I am against it, we need more purple districts to better represent the American people in the House.
I think the most illuminating moment of the State of the Union was when President Obama proposed dismantling capital (you know, factories and machinery and other forms of productive wealth) in order to help pay for day care.
The man truly thinks we can make ourselves more prosperous by doing things like this? As if there will be a need for day care after you equalize all the wealth down the toilet? What's next? Beer and twinkies for all?

I will admit, at first I thought the GOP was very clever to clap at his statement but his response almost had me in crying in laughter.
And that is just the sort of antagonistic divisiveness that has caused our government to seize up in a state of gridlock. Obama's priority here was clearly to "burn" his political opponents, rather than to provide leadership and to start working towards achievable solutions on issues where some level of agreement exists.
This speech, much like most of Obama's presidency, was a missed opportunity. Instead, he behaved like a juvenile, trying to razz and harass his enemies. Obama is a childish fool and this little stunt proves it, in case any more proof was actually needed.

Oh it was a good burn, trust me.
