— andy I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
`My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away".
~ Ozymandias, Percy Bysshe Shelley
Thus is the state of our Union.
But I guess Obamandias is going to speechify at 9pm Eastern anyway. Maybe he'll do us a favor and just present a list of his accomplishments. We'd be out at 9:02, including the Congressional Democrats' obligatory standing fellation ... err, ovation.
But watch it we much! You'll have a hard time not finding it on television, and here's teh eeeevillllll Fox News livestream.
Also, there's an Irish bookmaking site laying odds on the first cliche Obama uses (h/t Maet)
A sample:
8/1 We have more work to do
10/1 Health Care reform
10/1 As I stand here today
12/1 Fundamental belief
12/1 God Bless America
12/1 Crossroads of history
12/1 Defining moment
12/1 Make Washington work
Plus some longshots:
80/1 Overcome the adversity
80/1 Bloated federal government
100/1 Diversity of my heritage
100/1 Yes, we might
250/1 Life is like a box of chocolates

In Egypt's sandy silence, all alone,
Stands a gigantic Leg, which far off throws
The only shadow that the Desert knows:
"I am great OZYMANDIAS," saith the stone,
"The King of Kings; this mighty City shows "
The wonders of my hand." - The City's gone, -
Nought but the Leg remaining to disclose
We wonder, - and some Hunter may express
Wonder like ours, when thro' the wilderness
Where London stood, holding the Wolf in chace,
He meets some fragments huge, and stops to guess
What powerful but unrecorded race
Once dwelt in that annihilated place.

Sure electability matters, but it looks as though Team Mitt's crystal ball was not as accurate as we were led to believe.
Yelling at conservatives to get in line behind Mitt on the hope that people who did not vote Republican last time will vote Republican this time is not a strategy.

You know what? He's a competent salesman and he talks a decent game of complete and total bullshit in front of the camera. But this dude can't spend the whole campaign mugging the camera - if he tries, everyone will end up loathing him.

This is what I saw in the 2004 Convention Speech, and why people started to compare him to Reagan.
In broad platitudes he talks up America and vague socialist boilerplate intermixed, intentionally conflating the two, and then he pads his speech with bullshit that hits republicans on the folsky commonsense right.

Notable: I went downstairs to grab a beverage, and turned on the TV to see who is carrying the rebuttal. I did not see it in my Comcast guide, so I need some help from the horde on this one. Daniels may not have run for president, as I feel he should have, but I would still enjoy seeing him light this pinko lightweight right the fuck up on national TV. Help a man out, morons.

Well, let's put it this way. According to the pre-crime transcript of Daniel's remarks, he intendeds to use the term "gender" instead of sex like a good little beta.
So, the final speech to the Spartans at the Warm Gates it ain't.

Good on content but, possibly worse than the SOTU, boring the piss out of me.

"The status of 'loyal opposition' imposes on those out of power some serious responsibilities: to show respect for the Presidency and its occupant, to express agreement where it exists. Republicans tonight salute our President, for instance, for his aggressive pursuit of the murderers of 9/11, and for bravely backing long overdue changes in public education. I personally would add to that list admiration for the strong family commitment that he and the First Lady have displayed to a nation sorely needing such examples.

Hey - he just woke up a bit.
He's still damnably boring, but he's actually alive now, not just some kind of freaky uncanny-valley voice-to-speech teleprompter reader.
Why they 'manage' these guys into unpalatable pap I will never understand. However bad he would have done, he'd probably have done better than he did for most of it, if he'd just done the whole thing halfass extemporaneously.

There is a second item on our national must-do list: we must unite to save the safety net. Medicare and Social Security have served us well, and that must continue. But after half and three quarters of a century respectively, it's not surprising that they need some repairs. We can preserve them unchanged and untouched for those now in or near retirement, but we must fashion a new, affordable safety net so future Americans are protected, too.

It probably was a great response - in writing.
I look forward to reading his speech tomorrow. I'm sure I'll find it quite lovely in the text format.
His delivery however, added nothing. Detracted even. He just sounded like some very stiff guy monotonously reading a speech.

@735
When President Barack Obama enters the U.S. House chamber tonight to deliver his State of the Union address, his audience will include Florida U.S. Sens. Bill Nelson and Marco Rubio — sitting together. The pair — a two-term Democrat running for re-election and a freshman Republican in his second year — sat together last year as well.

"I'm a Democrat, but I agree with Abraham Lincoln - government should only take over when it can do better for people than the people can do for themselves. Lincoln basically said to help you buy 60" tvs and pay $200 per finished square foot and live in 2500 square foot homes because that is your right as Americans. It's in there somewhere, you know, you just have to understand it. Lincoln also said, now I have to paraphrase this a bit, something like you dumbasses need my wife to help you plan your meals, you helpless losers. AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM! We can and will make windmills that power the world, but we cannot produce safe nuclear energy. Or parallel pipelines carrying oil near critical water tables. I killed Bin Laden! Good night!"
