    Very Good speech. I also really liked Ryan's response. I hated the last state of the union and the response

    -Eric "George Orwell" Blair

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
    (Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, 1861).

    The Tea Party response from Michelle "The founding fathers abolished slavery" Bachman was epic. She compared tea party founders to the marines of Iwo Jima.

    This may be the very first SOTU I have ever watched in its entirity, but to be honest it was merely because I was bored and there was a tv in the room. It really means a whole lot of nothing, but I certainly got a kick that he mentioned dependance on foreign oil like every president in every SOTU since Ike. Gotta keep the tradition going afterall.

    Investing in clean energy, education, and infrastructure.... where did I hear that before.... Oh, now I remember.


    Edit: This was pretty good too.
    Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said the president "has enough power already" and that Obama's reported embrace Tuesday night of an earmark ban promoted by Republicans is just a "lot of pretty talk."

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Are you kidding he spent half the time sucking of the republicans. Then when he mentions that experation of the Bush tax cuts and DADT he looks like a scared little boy. He needs to sack up and stand on principle for once
