It's all just talk, and more of the same. No new taxes but fund programs with additional billions...

"...more of the same. No new taxes but fund programs with additional billions..."
I see your regressive tax-and-spend mentality is at work. Will you democrats EVER learn that increasing taxes DOES NOT increase revenues. It only takes money out of the economy, slows down economic activity and REDUCES funds available.
I know this concept is hard for you regressive liberals to grasp, but -- Tax cuts BOOST economic activity and INCREASE revenues at ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT!!!!
Man, liberals are so friggin' stupid sometimes!!

Now that I think about it, the press conference version of the Golden Globes was far more relevant and interesting.

I agree. When he pointed out the Fact that the dems want me to pay another $1800 in taxes annually, I felt sick too.

He is indeed the worst president in the history of this great country. The lack of substance last night was but a confirmation of that fact!

My, look at all these politicians saying all the right things about what should be done! Why don't the act instead of talking? I'll tell you why. It's called political partisanship, a most undesirable trait of our government, which seems to be getting worse. Everyone wants to blame the president for our troubles. But what has congress done in the meantime, nothing! If political partisanship was not so rampant, how many of the presidents bills would have, should have, been overridden? Let's get real here and understand that congress has the power to do so much more than they have. Remember this when you go to the polls and vote for your next senator and representative!

Democrat(ic)s and Republicans have rejected initiatives such as immigration reform, an end to lawmakers' pet projects, control of Social Security spending, medicare reform, and making tax cuts permanent.

I interrupted my families television schedule to watch the address, I still like the civility that is shown at this event it is much better to see people talk instead of fight which does happen in some political systems. As for the speach well Ho Hum, my one son sat and watch the speach with me and asked why one side stood up and applauded and the other side usually remained seated, I guess i should have explained why but I chose to make light of it and said that some people relize there is a shortage of energy in the U.S. so they remained seated. I will take some time today to try and explain the differences beteen the two parties and their policies.

I didn't listen. My time is too valuable to use it for that fool.

Are photographers intentionally taking the most embarrassing pics of this man? Perhaps, they have a contest going on. This has to be the funniest one yet.
--Yeh, and I almost gagged too at his address.

He should have someone write a book for him as to how an idiot can become President. He wouldn't be able to write one himself, of course, for the obvious reasons.

"Like him or not, he has protected this country from more terrorist attacks."
Do you have any empirical evidence of this? Bombs still get through airport security regularly. Our borders are not secure and he did not protect us from the first attack. IMO, OBL does not have the need or desire to directly attack us, he only needs to act like it. That is enough to make us fear him, change the way government deals with its citizenry, and change the way we live. In this, he has succeeded. It is a crime that we allow him to continue to operate, but then again, that may be the intent because it serves a purpose to follow the path we are on.
"Don't start in with the economy C.R.A.P., I've been on this planet almost 46 years, I've seen much worse under other presidents."
You certainly aren't setting the bar very high.

Empirical evidence such as no successful attacks on the US since 9/11?? If these bombs are getting through as you say, how come NO planes ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD have been blown up this century?
"IMO, OBL does not have the need or desire to directly attack us, he only needs to act like it."
IMO: you have you head stuck in the sand. If you think he is alive wouldn't LOVE to attack the U.S. again, you are delusional.
It might amaze you to know as well that the economy is doing MUCH better than anyone possibly could have thought given we are fighting an international war on terror AND the economy was tanking as Clinton left office.

Based on the record, Jimmy Carter was much more effective at protecting this country from terrorist attacks.

The democrat's response is totally predictable and right out of the Democrat's central committee text book. They probably highlighted their given statement so each on would have a unique statement and not look so much like it was pre-planned.

In part Obama said, "I believe a new kind of politics is possible, and I believe it is necessary. Because the American people can't afford another four years without health care, decent wages, or an end to this war. The woman who's going to college and working the night shift to pay her sister's medical bills can't afford to wait. The Maytag workers who are now competing with their teenagers for $7 an hour jobs at Wall Mart can't afford to wait. And the woman who told me she hasn't been able to breathe since her nephew left for Iraq can't afford to wait."
Motherhood and apple pie, with no funding.

fta---cummings said:
"I, along with most Americans, see the state of the union every morning when I leave my house. I see it in the form of men and women lined up around the corner of the unemployment office. The state of our union is evident in the number of for-sale signs that we pass before we even hit the first stop sign on our way to our jobs. It is evident in the houses long-ago foreclosed, still sitting vacant with boarded-up windows. The state of our union is dire."

Talk about fear and loathing! Well, loathing.
The sight-sound of endless, reflexive partisan applauding is Orwellian.
Yes, the Repubs have a job to do--support the leader--and they're doing it, but the stomach nonetheless turns.
That Bush should be buoyed by applause is almost unthinkable.
My fantasy involves 1,000 custard pies all thrown at the exact same moment and all hitting Mr. Bush at once....

FTA..........."with the Democrats in Congress coming forward and being cooperative on this stimulus package, I'm hopeful that that will signal a little different attitude on the part of Congress." â;; Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa.
Geezo Arlen! How much more can we bend over??
