They won't and the reason is called Right-Wing Conservative talk radio.

The guy next to Sotomayor (aisle), when Obama talked about how last week's decision will open the doors to blablabla, etc.

Was he Alito, Kennedy, or Roberts?
post #58 of 236
Alito is the guy with glasses. Kennedy is the older white guy who is sometimes pro choice and Roberts is the handsome one.

Chief Justice John G. Roberts was the guy.

Is Obama going to show some balls or not? Where is the end of Don't Ask Don't Tell? Is he going to pass Clinton's record? This speech is already 70 minutes!

I think it's looking like he chucked it from the speech at the last minute. I have no idea how he'll segue into it now.
post #63 of 236
Uhhh, never mind. I think it's coming up.

ETA: Gates clapped!
post #64 of 236
It's coming now, I bet.

ETA: Jinx.

Wow, this year. Really hope he means that.
post #65 of 236
Come on...Show some balls

Actually, it was Alito sans glasses. Roberts is sitting in front of him by Kennedy.

He just made a group of stodgy military brass look like the biggest assholes in the world. Nice!

Obama also said he'd make sure there was a public option. I'm sure he'll find a way to fuck it up.

Yeah, they were looking at him like Droopy fucking Dog.
post #72 of 236
So, more nuclear plants and offshore drilling? Yeah, that will make it through Congress. He's playing to the middle knowing his own Congress will make sure this never happens.

Ah, well, the Wikipedia page fooled me. Still, it was pretty "woah" to see.

Why? Because they didn't stand and cheer? How many things did the Dems rise up and cheer for that they won't do?
post #76 of 236
Obama is a great speech deliverer. Why do all his background dealings benifit lobbyists and the banks?
post #77 of 236
70 minutes total according to Katie Couric
post #78 of 236
Well, he is still doubling-down on bipartisanism. I hope he knows what he's doing.
post #79 of 236
Wrap it up Mr. President.

According to Huffington Post...this will be in Gov Bob McDonnell's speech...


Quote:
We applaud President Obama's decision to deploy 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan. We agree that victory there is a national security imperative. But we have serious concerns over recent steps the Administration has taken regarding suspected terrorists.

Americans were shocked on Christmas Day to learn of the attempted bombing of a flight to Detroit. This foreign terror suspect was given the same legal rights as a U.S. citizen, and immediately stopped providing critical intelligence.

As Senator-elect Scott Brown says, we should be spending taxpayer dollars to defeat terrorists, not to protect them.
That is such bullshit.

Obama's really good at detecting outstretched hands he hasn't even glanced at yet.
post #82 of 236
Whoa, all combat troops out of Iraq by August? Fantastic if the conditions warrant it. So how many troops in Iraq are not considered "combat" troops?

(I'm a little behind on the speech).
post #83 of 236
Wow NPR is ripping the speech! NO substance?!
post #84 of 236
Could there be any more of a Rainbow Coalition behind this governor?
post #85 of 236
He talks like Mr Neutron
post #86 of 236
Obama giving out autographs. Awesome.
post #87 of 236
I kinda glazed over on the student loan thing, but did Obama say he wants to pay back your loans if you still have them after 20 years?
post #88 of 236
Talk about staged...., "Make sure there's an attractive Black women behind the Gov. during his speech."
post #89 of 236
Wait untill this empty suit talks about the War on Terror in 3 minutes
post #90 of 236
This guy is a complete bore.

Bob McDonell is a giant piece of shit.

Tune in now. Here is the national security shit.

Ah, this is already a thing. Debt forgiven after 10 years if you're in social service, 20 years if you keep up with it for that time. . . . I think it's part of the DoE budgetary request coming up.

"When I was six years old my father said to me..."

Awesome!

And don't you just love all the shots of the token Blacks. See Republicans like black people just like the everybody else.
post #97 of 236
Guys...This guy isn't fucking up. We might be seeing the 2012 opponent right now!
post #98 of 236
This guy is the best shot the Republicans have right now. He's boring but he's not an embarrassment like Palin or Jindal

Ooh, let's hope. A boring older white guy.

Thank God he's done, I want pundits!
post #100 of 236
I give this guy a 50 percent chance of being on the Republican ticket in 2012 if he goes for it.
