4 Yay.  A new thread.

5 pudding ricochet

6 Obama did get a fist bump after the speech, so there's that.

7 That's the Ticket:  Most people no longer believe his Crap ( and those who never believed it now Really, Really don't believe it.

Without his aura of bullshit, Obama is a third-rate poli sci prof at East Tree Stump State, droning on in that awful over-interrupted style to a class of bored freshmen

The emperor who never really had any clothes has lost his clothes

8 Sam Alito is doing a Snoopy dance.

9 How do we know this is the real ace ?

10 Since a lot of us are job hunting and only continue to see people getting laid off and companies doubling down to stay open, I wonder why we don't trust what the president says?

/sarc

11 Soon, no one will believe anything.

12 Barry will soon see January 2010 as the high point of the year.

13 Ace lives!

14 11, Yeah, right.

15 @10: You've got the wrong attitude, rummy! Obama actually saved two of your jobs. It's just that he hasn't created one for you yet.

16 Without his aura of bullshit, Obama is a third-rate poli sci prof at East Tree Stump State, droning on in that awful over-interrupted style to a class of bored freshmen

Let's keep it straight -- he  was no prof, only a lecturer at ETSS.

17 Obama needs Peter, I mean Gary North advising him

18
Ace do loves him some hot poll action.  Of course it's from that racist hate-monger Gallup, so it has no credence.

19
14....What? You find that assertion unbelievable?

20 My idiot, moonbat brother has a Facebook post extolling the great oratory skills of Obama, the reasons Alito and Roberst should be impeached, etc. Poor guy, I couldn't find the snark to kill him with, he is, after all, blood.

21 rum, you may not have heard this, but you may buy food and clothing, even shoes, with Monopoly money that has Barry's mug pasted on it. For real.

22
For real.

Troof.

23 No pudding at the Supermarket yesterday!  Coincidence?

24 It'd be nice if the set of people that believe the jobs numbers didn't vote.  I don't see how anyone can believe that crap.

Economic stimulus -- ta da!  Somebody needs to stuff a sock in that butch's pie hole.

25 You have to have SUBSTANCE in order to have BOUNCE.

26 Bounce on this.

27 You've got the wrong attitude, rummy! Obama actually saved two of your jobs. It's just that he hasn't created one for you yet.

LOL!

you may not have heard this, but you may buy food and clothing, even shoes, with Monopoly money that has Barry's mug pasted on it.

Oh, is that the money from his stash? (Saw a kid at Disneyland on Wednesday wearing an Obama shirt. It disgusts the hell out of me to see people wearing T-shirts with that Pretender's mug plastered all over it.)

30 the only thing bouncing was worf's ass when she was tromping to her seat

31 Let's keep it straight -- he  was no prof, only a lecturer at ETSS.

Yes, but in a more perfect world he would have gotten tenure by now:  Screwing students occasionally ( actually ), screwing most of his students routinely ( literally ), and writing journal articles about White People Who Took Everything and Are Bad.

On the internet, former students would advise others to avoid his classes.....

32 Solidifying Democrats means that his tone was overly partisan during the SOTU. This is not what Obama should want if he's focusing on helping his party. 

33 I.e., he needed to rally independents. He failed miserably.

34 I believe I'll have another Value-Rite martini...

35 Sorry to interrupt you morons, but I am watching the Food Chanel, and they are showing a Portland Or. donut shop with Bacon Donuts.  Can you say "Road Trip?"

36
I believe I'll have another Value-Rite martini...

I believe I shall join you. 

37 BACON!!1!!!1!!  I am so fuckin in

38 The thing that amazes me about Obama is that in both the SOTU and his address to the Republicans, hardly a sentence came from his mouth that wasn't at least half complete bullshit.

The question is, does he KNOW he is lying to us, or has he really convinced him self that his stimulus really did create or save 2 million jobs?  He has GOT to know that the method you used for counting those jobs was utterly bogus.  I mean, he HAS GOT to know that right?

When Nancy Pelosi tells us that she is going to do whatever it takes to pass healthcare for the American people and to reduce the deficit, doesn't she KNOW the American people have said over and over they do NOT want Obamacare and that they used accounting gimmicks to make it look like it would reduce the deficit.

I am afraid these people are drinking their own koolaid.

39 The real Ace would've written worst instead of worse in that lede sentence, but, hey, it's a new post, so we won't even mention it.

40 It's too bad the Republicans could not have had the President of Honduras give the SOTU response.

41

32  he wasn't solidifying (is this really a word?) the demo party, he was placing blame and scolding everyone for not remembering he won.

the democratic party is eating itself alive

42 Remember, guys:  Obama is on your side, respects you as a person, the check's in the mail, will call you tomorrow, loves you and won't come in your mouth.

43

The question is, does he KNOW he is lying to us, or has he really convinced him self that his stimulus really did create or save 2 million jobs?  He has GOT to know that the method you used for counting those jobs was utterly bogus.  I mean, he HAS GOT to know that right?

Dr. Krauthammer, a psychiatrist by training, says he believes Barrium Enema could be clinically delusional.

44

Well, he certainly won me over by treating the Republicans like he was the mega-mind of the ages addressing Mrs. Gartner's kindergarten special ed class.

oooooh yeah.  Won them right over.  The era of bipartisanship has officially commenced.

45

@#35

mmmmm......bacon doughnuts....

Salty 'n' sweet is my thang. 

 

46 I have to say I was heartened by the President's SOTU speech. He reached out to Republicans with conservative policies and asked them to join him in remaking America. We should not turn our back on our country. It needs us now more than ever. The last 8 years have not been easy; there's a lot to fix. So lets get to work and support our president. If we don't, I feel the Republican Party will cease to exist. God bless America.

58 Did anyone see any other post-SOTU polls aside from the CBS poll?  In that one supposedly upwards of 80% of the viewers liked the speech.

In his SOTU, constitutional law professor  ....um...lecturer ...um some jackass who doesn't know fuck-all about the constitution,  Barack Hussein Obama said the following:

We find unity in our incredible diversity, drawing on the promise enshrined in our Constitution: the notion that we are all created equal

I was driving with my daughter to unemployment the other day, she lost her job, and noticed there was hardly any traffic in an area which used to be bombed with commuters. It was like a Sunday. Yes, things are very bad. I only see traffic jams now where there are accidents.

76 It was sort of a bounce. It's slowed his ratings decline.

78 Off you dirty unctuous sock!

79 I too am concerned about the future of America and the Republican party. Both need to be strong so our countrymen can prosper. That is why I believe we need to support our president. He is not an ideologue; he's a centrist, with some leftist tendencies, but no one is perfect. His health-care bill actually saves money!! He is trying to reverse years of deficit spending!! He wants us to be energy independent!! So everyone jump aboard for the bid win.

80 I've been feeling kinda bouncy all week.

81 That's the problem with lying.  Once you've lost your audience, you've lost them. Right, Peter?

Maybe they used Mike's Nature Trick?

83 I love that part of the Gettysburg address where Roosevelt said "There is nothing to fear and I am not a crook"

84 And don't forget that our President can't just wave a magic pudding cup and make this all go away!

85 Sort of like Chris Matthews, I forgot he was a Marxist for about 2 milliseconds.

86 One "concern" I will raise here, which is an actual concern:

What do we do in the next three years if Obama does, finally, snap? He's a lame duck even at present. Listening to excerpts of the SOTU he sounded like he was about two minutes away from losing his temper and/or crying. Suppose the guy does decide to lock himself in a room with an X-Box for the rest of his term? What are our options?

87 ever noticed Barry's policies smell like a dead cat? That explains the bounce

88 Somethings been bouncing in my pants all week

89 My favorite of the 13 amendments in the Bill of Rights is the one that says Thous shalt not take My Name in vain

90 Thanks for the link about our mad president.

I really, truly believe there's a 50/50 chance he'll be carried out of the White House on a stretcher.

91 What do we do in the next three years if Obama does, finally, snap?

I think we'll just see more date night flights to Broadway.  Maybe he'll just mentally check out.  Or co-author a book with Carter about the evil Jews.

92 Have they cut off the phone lines and locked all the doors into the Oval Office from the outside yet?

93 86, We make sure Biden does exactly what the Republican/TEA Party House and Senate Leadership tells him to do.

94 #20 - Just remember that Michael bumped off Fredo. Just saying.

95

86

Go on with our lives without idiotic government interference?  Not have to listen to his idiot ideas, and let the economy fix itself?

96 Suppose the guy does decide to lock himself in a room with an X-Box for the rest of his term?

He can have every one of my titles, even the entire CoD series if he'll just stay there and never come out again.

97 #46 is a lifelong Republican like my Jewish foreskin was once attached to Hitler. Piss off, troll.

98 What do we do in the next three years if Obama does, finally, snap?

Was it Woodrow Wilson who got sick and his wife was the acting president for about a year?

Anyway, what can we do but follow the Constitution? Biden becomes Prez and picks his new veep, and I'm guessing that would be Hillary.

50/50 it happens.

99 What I meant when I said we wouldn't have lobbyists in my administration was we wouldn't have people whose job was to hang out in the foyer

100 #46 is a lifelong Republican like my Jewish foreskin was once attached to Hitler.

----------------

You totally missed the joke.

101
I really, truly believe there's a 50/50 chance he'll be carried out of the White House on a stretcher.

I think so, too.  He honestly believes he is Pharoah, and going against his wishes is akin to denying the will of him.

102 Listening to excerpts of the SOTU he sounded like he was about two minutes away from losing his temper and/or crying

He would be more effective he stayed fetal under his desk for 3 years than if he continues on the path he's on.

103 If they carry Barry out on a stretcher, what's the over/under on Piss Matthews eating a shotgun on live television?

104 62 Confusing The Declaration with The Constitution? It just shows he is as intelligent as the rest of the 52%. Besides, you know he thinks that the Founders & other patriots acted stupidly.
 

105 Was it Woodrow Wilson who got sick and his wife was the acting president for about a year?

Yup. He had a stroke and was bedridden.

106 91 What do we do in the next three years if Obama does, finally, snap?

Kissenger wrote that Nixon After Watergate made him kneel with Dick and pray.  Henry K, who was actually chairman of the Zionist Overlords and in control of Everything, tried to talk his way out but eventually knelt and prayed with Dick.

Obama can get Geithner to "kneel" with him and "pray".....

107 Rep. Chaffetz...I did have the healthcare negotiations on C-Span...but the fact that I didn't is someone else's fault

108 Whatchu mean iza not abouts to plays xbox fo tha next fur yars

109 What do we do in the next three years if Obama does, finally, snap?

25th Amendment.

110 Bill Mitchell,

He has one of the common problems of academics. He refuses to think for himself on anything but his "core competency" areas, and relies upon authorities to form his complete opinion in all other areas. (And his area of core competency is 'community organizing', so be worried.)

If an authority he trusts (Say: Paul Krugman) says "Spending money is great, it doesn't matter what you're spending it on, just spend more!" he follows along like a puppet. It doesn't matter that even Keynes himself was talking about infrastructure spending, not random "Let's hire 150,000 geotagging Census workers just to blow more cash."

And it means he always has his perfect cocoon. Just watch his behavior in front of the Republicans. Watch very closely. His entire attitude says "You people are morons, I can't believe anything you guys say. The only plausible way I could see myself saying that is if I was bought by monied interests."

It's "his expert" versus "your expert." He's going into it with the assumption that your expert is a moron. And he can't accept the possibility that "his expert" might be wrong.

Even the cases in which he reverses himself - he's doing it because the political choice is different from what he considers right. Moving the terror trials? Well, ok, I guess we have to. Avoiding C-SPAN? Well, ok, Nancy says I have to. Etc.

It's as if he lives in a true echo chamber. And even when something jarring enters the chamber, he asks his pet expert and gets immediate revalidation.

111 Obama can get Geithner to "kneel" with him and "pray".....

Or maybe a good ol' fashioned self-flagellation session with Rev. Wright...

112 What do we do in the next three years if Obama does, finally, snap?

It depends on the nature of the break.  Hope for catatonic depression rather than irrational rage.  I would worry if I was British.

The missiles are flying. Hallelujah, Hallelujah!

Obama needs to take a ride with Tom.

Nice Dead Zone reference. Well played.

115 In debating, this is "Argument from Authority." He just doesn't appear to know anything else.

116 I knew someone very similar to Obama once. She had a position of power in the college where I taught because of her religious affiliation -- this was in a Middle Eastern university and she was an American convert to Islam, which tells you right there how mentally stable she was.

She was in way over her head, and the walls crumbled down around us on a couple of occasions because of her incompetence. Her actions became delusional, paranoid, and hysterical. She'd run to a typewriter and start madly typing letters to authorities on who had done what. She literally ran around in a state of panic as her duties went undone. The teachers looked stupid in front of over a hundred students because we didn't have tests or teaching materials and no one knew where they were supposed to be going.

117 No post until almost 1800? That must have been an epic hobo hunt last night.

118 110, Well, perhaps it is not farfetched that a group of Dems and Reps will soon quietly push for Barry's resignation for health reasons. Yeah, I know, I'm dreaming again.

119

He has one of the common problems of academics. He refuses to think for himself on anything but his "core competency" areas

Which are ......????

120

The funniest part about this whole debacle is that the Obama team seems to think that these speeches and appearances and photo-ops actually matter.

Ronald Reagan would have been run out of office on a rail in 1984 had the economy not ROARED BACK TO LIFE.

Bill Clinton was re-elected in 1996 because the economy had largely turned around and unemployment was at 5.5%. 

If unemployment is still around 10% come November, the Democratic party is toast, regardless of how much bs this clown shovels between now and then.  The media can't save Barry, nor can ACORN or SEIU. 

The only thing that will work is GOOD POLICY.  Unfortunately, this nitwit is too stupid and ideological to do what's necessary to restart our economy (i.e. major tax simplification, drastically cutting the corporate tax, regulation reform, etc.).

Reading from a teleprompter.

125 This is spreading fast, but at the House GOP retreat Luke Russert(Yes, nepotism in media too) filed the only report substantiating claims that "the GOP should not have had cameras" for the Q&A.

That one report has been spun into a web that reports this.

"Obama refutes every GOP talking point in 90 minutes"

126

Which are ......????
Mau-mauing the flak catchers.

127 So, invoking the 25th Amendment would mean...
President Joseph Robinette "Joe" Biden, Jr.!

^{/Shoot me now.} 

128 127, Biden will much less dangerous.

129 Lately there has been a full court press for Obama on Facebook. I used to hide these folks, but now I want to know what they are up to. They are obviously acting in a coordinated manner.

130 So is he half black and half poll-lack? I should ask Tingles.

131 i guess i was expecting too much to hope his poll numbers would go down after his sotu reading. the no bounce is fine though. that means they did go down.

132

OT, the South is really stinking up the Senior Bowl.  They've put the ball on the ground 5 times.

Conversely, the North is playing like they've been a team all year.

North 31 - South 13  with 7 minutes left in the game.

Sheriff Joe would give us endless hours of hilarity as we careened towards war with Mars.

Cuz, you know, they invaded and we beat'em with Tex Ritter music that one time.  But they're coming back.  Oh yes.

134 Yes, Biden would be prez. If that's not shudder-licious enough, he gets to pick a vice prez.

And the D.C. Republicans would be breathing down their necks like vampire dragons.

50/50 it happens.

135 Don't worry about my mental health.  I just plan to keep on campaigning and let Harry and Nancy and Rahm and Axe worry about running the country.  How bad could it get?

136 invoking the 25th Amendment would mean...
President Joseph Robinette "Joe" Biden, Jr.!

I'm actually ok with that. I have no faith teh Won loves this country. I think Biden at least does.

137 I will imagine that Team Barry will keep overexposing him and smearing republicans in a vain attempt to hold 50% approval overall. The problem is going to be that the economy is not going to improve and then the talk of the Bush tax cuts expiring will further undermine business hiring. The whole time Obama will be perceived as willfully wrecking the economy due to idealogical stubbornness. By November, people will be up in arms even more so than now.

138

Nixon: "I am not a crook!"

Current Marxist-in-Chief: "I am not an Idealogue!"

JFK: "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country"

Current Marxist-in-Chief: "I know the American people are asking their govt: "What's in it for me?"  "

The democrat brand is dead.  It took 1 year.  The Tea Party (conservative, not necessarily Repub.) movement will decide the direction of the country.  

--a recovering lifelong disgusted ex-democrat

139 We would also get more moments of blatant honesty from Slow Joe, especially when he speaks off the cuff. I'm sure it's tons of fun being one of his handlers.

140 i guess i was expecting too much to hope his poll numbers would go down after his sotu reading.


His poll numbers seem to have stabilized in the last few months, anyone else notice? I wonder what he has to do to lose the rest of the indies. The die-hards will be there literally until he's carried out on a stretcher or goes Dennis Hopper on live t.v.

141

Barack Obama: Put your hand on the scanning screen, and you'll go down in history with me!

Five Star General: As what? The world's greatest mass murderers?

Barack Obama: You cowardly bastard! You're not the voice of the people, I am the voice of the people! The people speak through me, not you!  You put your god damn hand on that scanning screen, or I'll hack it off and put it on for you!

142 I wish we could put Congress and the President on sabbatical for a year.  You're on half pay.  Get the hell out and don't come back until Feb. 2011.

143 He would be less dangerous until push-came-to-shove & he had to take action. What if one of his gaffes caused something catastrophic to happen? Also, the man's health problems leave me a bit concerned (& I mean that sincerely). 

144 @119 Agitating crowds, snake oil sales, selling ice to Inuit, rabble rousing, reading from TOTUS, Mau-mauing the flak catchers., - those all sound right.

He is a very good campaigner.

145 i guess i was expecting too much to hope his poll numbers would go down after his sotu reading. the no bounce is fine though. that means they did go down.

POTUS got a bump in approval after his joint session speech in September.  Then HCR cratered.  His approval returned to the decline trend.

Every President gets a bump after a SOTU.  It's theatre so they better get a bounce.

The President is heavily overexposed.  He doesn't care.  The next 10 months are all going to be heavy on the campaign.  I promise you that POTUS will return to the stump early next week reconstructing his strawmen.

146 139 We would also get more moments of blatant honesty from Slow Joe, especially when he speaks off the cuff. I'm sure it's tons of fun being one of his handlers.

It would be disaster instead of disaster-disaster.

147 130 So is he half black and half poll-lack? I should ask Tingles.

Last weekend at a family gathering, the discussion...as it always does...turned to politics. My libtard sister-in-law said the primary reason there was so much animus toward Obama was the fact that he was black.

Someone piped in that he was half white.

My 7 year old niece..God bless her...in an Art Linkletter Show-worthy moment looked at me and said "Which half??"

...true story

148 "I know the American people are asking their govt: "What's in it for me?"  "

F'in liar. Like I'm elbowing my way to the front of the crowd with my hat in my hand, ready to hold it up when he starts flinging coins. All I want the bastard to do is to stay out of my way.

149 Let's not jump to conclusions. The bounce acted stupidly.

150 It would be disaster instead of disaster-disaster.

Baby steps.

151

also, I read some commentators saying the Q&A the fraud did at the GOP retreat helped him with Independents.

As an independent, I can tell you, it only pissed me off even more. The fact that he thinks people are stupid enough to buy his bullshit and then to be talked down to, like I'm some 2 year old.

Independents are much more informed that these losers think.

152

He has one of the common problems of academics. He refuses to think for himself on anything but his "core competency" areas

Obama is the reverse of "Shallow Hal":  Instead of looking at the fat chick and seeing Gwyneth Paltrow, he looks at all of what America is but sees some sort of Goth skeletal racist boogeyman grotesque mini-parody of Actual America.

There was a1960s song, "King Midas in Reverse" by the Hollies ( British Invasion !!! )   Slight revisions would make it the new O-Campaign melody.

I'm not so sure brainless Joe loves his country -- but he is such an idiot (and precieved correctly as such by nearly all) that he would be more easily handled than mister not so wonderful.

I do hope they keep it up with the "economy is saved!  we're doing great! the system worked!".  It will assure that he is a lame duck president after Nov., and perhaps injure him politically enough to make him unelectable in '12 (and I really want to see P-lousy lose her position in the House; that would be the most wonderful thing ever).

174

Somewhere along about the time that the people figure that The Won has blown the third ton of smoke up their ass, they close the damper (to keep more smoke from coming in) and open the dumper.  He's going to be a mediocre one term President.

175 He's a Commie Max Headroom.

176 Speaking of brilliant scholar Barry, his SOTU speech was written two grade-levels below stupid cowboy Bush's average.

I will agree with the asshole left's retort "doesn't mean he's stupid--he was just dumbing it down so you inbred wingers could understand his brilliantness!!!1!" except I will phrase it, "looks like he thinks Americans are dumb children.  Asshole."

177 Remember Clima-quiddick?

Why should we? Cap'n' Tax is dead in the Senate. If Obama is dumb enough to revive some stupid climate change legislation, he'll get crushed again.

In fact, I look forward to the coming year in an odd way. It's going to be fun when he shrugs off "health" "care" "reform" and makes some lame, unconvincing show of getting all psyched about climate change and amnesty. I think he'd rather take to his bed and plead cramps.

178

173

Can you imagine Obama's concession speech if he gets fired in '12?  He might just melt down and have a 'Downfall' freak out moment.

179 People were saying, doesn't he have enough to do without going to the game of schools he didn't go to and wrecking everybody else's good time.

I don't think he ever wanted to do the work of being President.  He just wanted all the perks.

One of the reasons I can't stand listening to His Greatness speak is because he talks down to his audience. He talks to them like they're idiots. Ok, so that's true for 52% of the country, but you shouldn't talk to them like you know they're idiots. Clinton talked to the country like the good ol' boy he was. Bush was a down home country boy. It really puts me off that teh Won sounds like he thinks he's better than the peons he rules. And I'm sure he believes it.

The Democrats hammered Bush relentlessly for 8 years. They smeared Bush so badly that people in his own party distanced themselves from him and people like us got so tired of hearing the Bush-bashing we were relieved his 2nd term was up.

The Republicans don't even have to make shit up about Obama and the Democrats. They don't even have to be shrill. All they have to do is report the facts to the American people. Republicans are like fucking mimes!

Yeah, I was trying to work "his core constituency" into my snark but my mojo's not workin' tonight.  I do think that's why his campaign relied so much on images of his face and short meaningless phrases like "hope and change"--we're a post-literate society.  The people he wanted to appeal to do very little reading and even less writing.  Even college students these days watch more video than they read.

Concentrate on the "one term President" part.  The rest is already taking care of itself.

192 heh, the day after the speech the leftist leaning BLogmeter was trumpeting the smug leftwingnuts crowing about how polls showed 120% of Americans agreed with everything Obama said and the Republicans were scum.

Either the polls were crap, or people felt good about Obama again for about halfaday, then reverted to realizing he sucks bleeding asshole as a prezidunt.

A pathological narcissist will look you in the eye and lie to you, knowing that you know it's a lie, and that you know he knows he's lying. And if you point out the lie, you're a terrible person. But they will deny it's a lie, and act as if they believe the lie is true. It's disorienting to experience this in person.

Obama keeps telling outright lies to peoples faces (i.e. Wilson, Alito), and they keep calling him a liar. It never seems to occur to him to quit lying.

my humble opinion, the repubs just need to stay out of the way.

the fraud and the lunatic marxist party (which is what the Democrat's party has been) is self imploding.

The repub/tea party/conservatives just need to keep showing their ideas.. just hammering away at this.

People like me who believed everything the MSM said about Bush no longer believe a word that comes from the MSM ignorant biased mouths. Since the MSM was the campaign manager for the fraud starting in 2008, not only is the party imploding so is the MSM that promoted and continues to promote their fraud product.

The Idealagoue-in-Chief will continue to act like a petulant child, and more and more people will get disgusted. The MSM is essentially irrelevant at this point, thank God for the internet, most of us can get information unfiltered.

and for the repub and/or tea party movement, all is needed a commercial:

"My fellow citizens, where were you the day before Christmas?   On December 24th, at 1AM, where were the 60 democrat senators? Voting for a bill no one had read and 60% of the American voters strongly opposed.  They abused the power given to them, my fellow citizens: would you want to take a chance to vote to give  them power again this November?"

211 I don't think he ever wanted to do the work of being President.  He just wanted all the perks.


I think he thought the work of President was going to ball games and talking about justice and world peace.

He also probably thought everything he wanted would happen just for the sheer unprecendented event of having a black man as president.

222 The people he wanted to appeal to do very little reading and even less writing.  Even college students these days watch more video than they read.

Re: being delushional, did you see/hear Rush's letter to Obama after the SOTU?  He hammered him.  Snip:

 

This is a representative republic, not a banana republic, and let me remind you: Karl Marx and Saul Alinsky are not our Founding Fathers.  This is a nation built on individuality, built on liberty, free markets, and faith.  Yet you, Barack, demand fidelity to a different belief system: A system that crushes individual initiative and free will.  The president does not berate Supreme Court justices who are guests of the Congress and who have no ability to respond to your attacks.  You've made such a mess of things, Barack, and it's time to stop deluding yourself. It's time to stop blaming others.  You are delusional.  You are delirious.  It's time for you to assume the responsibilities of a president rather than pretending to be one.  

You've driven the nation's debt over the edge.  It is your responsibility to fix it now.  Otherwise, our young people will have no future.  You were wrong to grant terrorists constitutional rights. Even the libs in New York don't want the trial there now!  You, Mr. President, are endangering the security of this nation.  Now fix it!  Reverse course, and end the terrorists -- all of them -- back to Guantanamo Bay, where they belong.  You are wrong to nationalize one industry after another from automobiles to banks.  You are destroying competition and jobs.  You need to stop what you were doing before millions of more families go broke from your misguided policies.  It's not too late to stop this.  I know you're not going to stop it because last night you said you don't quit, and I know what you mean.  

You're gonna keep plugging for the same agenda, which is going to destroy this country even more -- which makes me think, Barack, that's your objective.  You know, Barack, unlike most presidents you're dealing with a Congress that has super majorities in both houses, fellow Democrats.  It amazes me that with all the talk about your ability to persuade and communicate, that you can't even hold your own party members together anymore.  Is that Bush's fault, too? Is it is fault of the banks and the insurance companies and the lobbyists that you can't keep your own Democrat Party unified -- or is it a problem with your leadership, Barack, or lack of leadership?  It's the latter, Mr. President. I'll tell you, you are not a leader. You are an agitator and an organizer, and a process guy, but you are not a leader.  It is you who are doing something wrong.  

230 Then why isn't George Bush, a two-term president and a good man, being begged to come campaign for Republicans?

Too soon.  The magnitude of this Democrat clusterfuck still hasn't penetrated fully with the public; lessons are still to be learned.  Give it until after the 2012 elections

231 Don't rag on college students:  It's four years of diversions before a lifetime of absurdity sets it.

Four years?  You're doing it wrong.

^{_{(Don't mind me.  I accidentally picked a major with math and labs.  I'm still bitter.)}}

232 229 Heard that when Rush read it on the air. I love how he calls him "Barack." I bet that burns teh Won's ass. He probably demands that everyone call him Mr. President, like "ma'am" Boxer.

233 My kid had to learn all that stuff from me and was AMAZED at how different her teachers stories were.

My nephew wandered around the house in a daze when he found out that Democrats were the major anti-Black party of the 20th century and Republicans were the party of Lincoln.

235 Four years?  You're doing it wrong.

I was out in 3.5 years. I hated school, heh. I wanted to get out asap, so that meant no parties and lots of classes.

236 And if you keep at it, and reality smacks them in the face, they have a screaming meltdown.

With three years left to go, I think we got a very good chance of a full blown narcissistic rage meltdown on camera with Obama.  In fact, I think the only way to prevent it will be for his handlers to keep him sequestered from any sort of media interaction that isn't very rigidly structured and pre-scripted.

After the 2010 elections, I'd not be surprised to see the rock star president suddenly start hiding in the bunker.

239 Timmy, the extra batteries are usually worth it in most models of laptop and netbook.  But like most things in life, it depends on which particular one.

My son's netbook holds a much longer charge than mine. He got the bigger battery option.  But mine almost lasts as long.  Mine has no spinning disks.  It's all memory card based, so sucks less juice.

Plus bigger batteries are heavier.

Other than that it was Jefferson, Madison and Monroe.

 

247 With output voltages being the same, they're obviously paralleling cells somewhere in the lashup.  The seriesed parallel cells will drain slower than a straight series setup of course, but if one cell fails, then the whole pack will degrade down to the mah capacity of a straight series setup before you see voltage drop and the whole thing shuts down due to that.

Depending on the intelligence of the charging design, a failed parallel cell could be benign and the net output of the pack simply degrade to a straight series pack.  Or, it might blow up or cause a fire as happens with LiPo's on occasion when they're a little fucked up.  Without knowing the specifics of any particular pack design and its charging apparatus, its hard to say exactly what's going to happen.

OTOH, if you have two simple seried packs, and one cell fails, you have one dead pack that's going to register 0V and refuse to charge, and another perfectly good pack.

Myself, I'd buy two ordinary packs.  That leaves you the flexibility to charge one offline while using another (if an offline charger is available), and the flexibility to keep the thing light if you don't want to tote the weight around.

I'm seeing a lot of chest thumping and crowing about Barry's performance in front of the republicans yesterday.  I saw some of the coverage live and thought it was dumb that the republican questioners were not visible on camera and sometimes could hardly be heard.  Of course, it was All Barry All The Time.  The lapdogs ate it up:

"We've never seen a face-off quite like this between a President and members of the opposition party."  Katie Couric

"It was extraordinary.  Here at the White House, some believe this could be a game-changer for the President. As one official put it, this is the best thing the President has done in a very long time. "  Chip Reid

"Obama is one of the 1000 smartest people in America.  "I don`t know anyone else in the country that could have done what the president did today."  Chris Matthews 

(I can think of a few, Tingles, like Newt, Rush, Levin, Michael Medved.)

"They had 140 players on the field and the other guy had one, other team had one guy, and they lost to him. Obama is one of the 1000 smartest people in America."  Olbermann

What you just stated is the most important point that needs to be made when refering to Obama. He is an enemy of this nation. There's no other way to put it.  He's not even being discrete or subtle about.  He is doing everything he can to destroy the original America and make it into his likeness.

I consider him a traitor and an enemy.

253 Speaking of brilliant scholar Barry, his SOTU speech was written two grade-levels below stupid cowboy Bush's average.

I use the Flesch-Kincaid and some other metrics all the time when I write tech doc or presentations for management.  I try to keep the F-K down into the 9/10th grade level for those audiences.  Not because they're stupid, but because it takes less effort to read and comprehend when something is written to that level; IOW, they're less apt to go MEGO on you and actually read it. 

Lacking that conscious effort to simplify it, I'd otherwise tend to write formal shit on ~13th grade level.

If Obama's speech writer did this on purpose, it was a smart move since the SOTU's audience is the nation, not congress.  I suspect it happened accidentally due to the campaign'esque nature of the speech. 

254

Dang Straights, you fool!

That wasn't Tex Ritter music that defeated the Martians, it was Slim Whitman.

If they try again we need to keep that straight so we can wipe them out quickly and avoid as much collateral damage as possible.

Always a lotta "as-is" dead batteries for sale on eBay ;->  And lots of "cheap" high priced "as-is" video cards that are fried because their cheap-ass sleeve bearing Chinese fans failed and the video processor cooked.

You're right. Congress' level should be much lower. What do you figure the reading level should be for Cynthia McKinney?

257 I'm surprised.  With his laundry list of populist fury, I would have expected a few more folks to be swayed.  I think Rasmussen is probably right-on.

258 What do you figure the reading level should be for Cynthia McKinney?

Gerber baby food level.

259 If Obama loses in 2012 (to Palin of course), not only will he melt down, but the MSM will have far fewer reporters and commentators/anchors because many of them will hang themselves in the bathroom with the good towells.

I really don't understand why, but this actually pisses me off more than anything he's done.  He had no right to do this.  The space program belongs to America, not to some one term President who just blew into town.
The space program was something the entire nation was proud of, no matter what your politics were (mostly).
Was this his revenge on America for not being stupid enough to buy bullshit?

268 Being a MI resident, with Cherry at a 10 point disadvantage in the polls, teh DEMS know they are finished in MI. You do not have 8 years of Grandholm with a ruined economy and expect for them to keep the Governorship of this state. In many ways it is a foreboding of what can happen to Obama come 2012.   Many of this states problems were inherited from Engler, but Grandholm did jack squat to fix them, only good thing she did was sign the film incentives bill that brought jobs to this state. Big problem is that these are temporary crew jobs that came from CA (another economically ravaged state) and it will be a long time before this program creates and homegrown jobs.

From what I hear from local news, Cherry might not even run for GOV, but Grandholm's poor job performance has tainted the D brand in this state.

So I expect to see Obama try to stick his face in this states election in order to please his UAW buddies in Detroit.

269 267, basically Obama is having a tantrum trying to drive his radical agenda through NASA, because the public is turning on him. He know the clock is ticking and is trying to do as much damage as he can.

Beck said something to the effect that he watched the State of the Union address and forgot that Obama was an American for an hour!

 

 

272 Democrat deficits are smaller than republican deficits in a way. During three years of democrat control of congress they're 'monthly' deficit was only slightly smaller than the 'annual' deficts for 12 years of republican control of congress. Then every penny spent in 09 was voted on (yes) in congress or signed by the current POTUS.

273 Dear Jesus,

Being a hard-core conservative my entire life, I've seen some krazy shit. For example, human sacrifice. But I've moved past that and now I'm a solid republican. Being religious and shit, I realize that Obama is super awesome and needs our support. He is not a miracle worker and, as such, needs time to fix America's myriad problems. He will succeed if we support him, so lets do. God bless America and God bless Texas!!

274 It's too easy for people to notice, the layoffs, the people on your block unemployed, the bank for sale house, the closed stores, the reduced inventory everywhere ... The magic words no longer work, when the real world has such a divergence.

275 his ratings are twice what Bush's were when he left/

276

sheik Y ...

Is Obama leaving ?  Please say yes ...

Obama has reached the point of no return with his words.  People no longer beleive what he says.  He now needs to do something and not just match his deeds to his past words but do things that people want done.

He is now a hostage to the Democrats in Congress and their deeds.  He is being held accoutable for their actions as he should be.

No matter how many times he tries to blame the politics of DC people just don't care how he gets things done they just want something done about the economy.  Or at least do something that makes some sense.  Spending more borrowed money doesn't make sense to most Americans but Obama appears to be stuck on stupid.

277 twice what Bush's were when he left

Who?

278 who who

279 from that Gallup org it looks like the only people that still really support Obama are the ones with graduate degrees that is still at 58% it is like only the smart people still support him

280 273, Could it be possible

We can have the first President AN HERO.

This is what the DEMS get for making Obama the Messiah. Maybe he is the messiah, we all know all messiah's all end up getting the same fate, Crucifixion.

So far it is the Tea baggers and teh voters who are crucifying him on a cross made up of his empty promises.

281 The reality here is that Obama is still well liked, but his policies and proposed legislation are not. The SOTU performed exactly what Bill Clinton tried to do.

The SOTU made Obama look once again like the “good guy” but voters are a little bit smarter than the average Democratic Congress-critter thinks, so they aren’t blaming Bush for Obama’s policies and proposed legislation, they are going to blame Congress. Obama’s “detachment” from the legislative process frames Congress as the “bad guys” as well.

Yeah. Call it a variant if you must, but itÂ’s triangulation at itÂ’s best and Congress doesn't even see it coming.

282 Rasmussien has him tied at 60-50 that is the highest in some time so maybe he did get a bounce

283 And Gallup also plainly sttes that most SOTU speeches do not give the POTUS any bounce at all, Bush dropped 4 points after his
