We cannot afford complacency and apathy which may be the unintended consequence of conservative talking heads over-cheering Brown's election. After-all, a conservative in Mass. is anyone leaning to the right of a Kennedy.

Oh, and that's Barry, not Bubba.



but the question is:
what do you think he is going to say in the State of the Union?

As far as job creation I agree more should be done on that front. But you need to keep in mind when we were going through the staggering job losses we were going through as Bush was leaving office its going to take awhile to get back on track. Its kind of like when someone is seriously hurt and is gushing blood. Can a doctor stop that type of bleeding right away? And go from gushing blood to recovery right away? or even in a short period of time? No, but what the doctor can do is at least slow the bleeding down and eventually get it to the point where it stops and then let the recovery will begin. That is what is basically going on now. It did tick up last month, but certainly much better than what it was.



since Obama did his "recovery" of $$$$800 billion dollars we have moved from 8% to 10% unemployement
it is said repetedly he made it worse~
He was also a senator for two years before, what was his record to help then??
zip~~ that is what
how do you think he is going to spinn this?
I did not vote for George Bush
I voted for Gore and Kerry~~~ GAG!!
I am sick of Obama and his band of goof balls
I want a real president with real ideas and real leadership, not some loon
that refers to himself in the 3rd person

In the end, the majority know he is a total liar and his scams wont work anymore.

Obama has already noticed that people are sick of his "I" crap and noticed he has already changed to worrying about jobs. 1 year too late Bubba!
Never under estimate the liberal media agenda, nor the Fat, lazy, American entitlement generations stupidity.

Obama needs this economy to tank in order for the class warfare to destroy this country.
His agenda is to destroy everything that whitey has done and redistribute the wealth to do nothing dumbocrats. Seize all power through marshall law and put us on the front lines of WWIII.

No matter what comes out of that traitors teleprompter, it's a distraction from what made this country great.

Obama -- the great deceiver.

I would think that this speech has the potential for some awkward moments. He doesn't have alot of positive items to discuss, so I would hope that he doesn't try to sugar-coat things to rediculous levels.

He will most likely talk about how he is holding banks accountable for the money they were given. Maybe mention the on-going effort to create jobs, the effort being sent to Haiti, and some bi-partison mumbo jumbo about the future of health care reform. Then there will be the usual shout out to a soldier in the audience from one of the on-going conflicts overseas. Finish strong with a mention of some company that is having success and hope and change for the future.

In a normal economy yes I would agree, but in this economy I think you may be putting the cart before the horse. Get people jobs first so they can afford health insurance and avoid foreclosures. Then work on health care reform. JMO though.

What can he say? He's done virtually nothing with a majority in both houses. They guy is impotent.

My guess is he'll tout the stimulous and how we are only at 10% instead of 25% UE. After that he'll unload on Bush about the bad economy.

Another pep talk to be given......with hundreds of I's and Me's along with His WANTS.......NOW!! When he's finally done, its just another pointless campaign-style speech.
We NEED MY idea of health care reform NOW.....dammit, now!
"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't focus much attention on jobs....but I will now....IF all of you will just swallow MY HC reform before you choke on it!"
SOS....and WOW......only 3 I's and just 1 "MY" in a sentence!?
His teleprompter will surely make room for a few more of these, in each one of his sentences....and you get the picture.

Rally the broken Party of dumb donks as much as possible.....HOPING they CHANGE their opinion of him and his form of "leadership" to fundamentally transform America into third world status.

Harry Reid still awaits HIS kiss of death too....I mean, his kiss goodbye.
Nancy Pelosi is likely, enjoying her final days in Congress, as well.

Damn astroturf, tinfoil, Pubs, Independents, Tea partiers and every other American that ain't so far up his wazooo......are just wreckin all of his wonderful plans but so are many within his OWN party!!

Reality check.....
NOTHING he can say or do......will save him, or the Dems, at this stage of the game.

But, tuning into his weekly speeches is almost worth it....nauseating and sad....but it is kind of fun trying to count all the I's and me's in every glorious speech he makes.

Contrite in the way Fonzie used to be:

He and his minions and already out there will their heels dug in to blame everyone and their brother for what is going on, instead of really taking
responsibility for his lousy moves this last year.
I want to hear from this president a plan to get jobs instead of whinning
the whole time. Think I will get one, in deatail?
Think we will get any honesty?
I doubt it.
What do you think he is going to say?
I think it is a slam dunk that 0bama is take credit for anything positive, blame others for anything negative. I mean, all presidents do that. But 0bama will exhibit zero faith in the American people to affect any positive changes to any problems. Everything negative will be met with a justification for increased government aid programs and broader federal control, anything positive will be the result of 0bama's brilliant policies.

It will be an endless parade of perceived problems matched with 0bama coming to the rescue with new federal interference.... errrr... solutions. Each solution will be 0bama using billions in taxpayer dollars to redistribute money, it whatever way he sees fit.

The hero will be government, the enemy will be republican obstructionists, talk radio, banks, insurance companies, doctors, corporations, conservative justices on the SCOTUS, and stupid Americans who just cannot comprehend his glorious message as he tries to fundamentally change the country.
