Shoot, I'm going to miss it…………………..I have to work.
I don't know if I will be able to stand watching NO-Bama to be able to watch the whole address. I find it very hard to get past the first lie.
I'd rather have a root canal.
A caller on Rush Limbaugh's show ,with Mark Levin as guest host, suggested the GOP replace the "you lie" of Joe Wilson with collective laughter to acknowledge Obamas lies. We'll see if they have the stones . If its a European style socialist country they want at least we could get a little of their parliament fun as well.
I will bet anybody 1 Commie that it will take less than 5 minutes for NO-Bama to blame Bush.
As long as "they" know what the laughter is for, then I am all for it. lol
I am sure you can watch Kieth NoBrainman to find out how great Dear Leader did with the speach, as he will be talking it up for a week.
I know I won't be watching him…I can't stand that arrogant look
he has all the time, nor can I handle listening to his lies…The
idiots behind him, are just too much to bare on top of it!!
One of the worst parts of watching the SOTUA is Pelosi will be in full view…..
From what I heard so far today it will be a Conservative speech full of fluff and BS we heard with the run up on the Pres. Election.. Well we all seen where that went the first time !!
Look for the left to go nuts as he try's to get the Indy's back on his side..
I really don't need to look up those nostrils one more time!!! I am so sick of the arrogance of this administration, and the way they all three (above) have their noses in the air looking down on us!!! I would rather wait until after the speech and hear what others have to say….on Fox that is, I know what the idiots on CNN and CNBC are going to be doing….drooling…YUK!
I can hardly wait to see queen pelosi jump up and down everytime our Liar-In-Chief spews his BS! The house, the senate, and the inept president have been screwing over the America people for the past year. It will be interesting to see how they will lie their way out that on live TV!
Kind of funny…….
on this trip to Germany………
OBAMA is not so much an accepted topic……..
It must be all that…………
HOPE and CHANGE.
I won't watch it. The ONLY thing I want to read about it is that he will cancel the stimulus and use it to pay down the debt.
What, the novelty wore off and reality set in? Say it aint so.
Just look at that photo……..look at it…….I said LOOK AT IT!………..I would be less disturbed looking at a photo of a school bus on fire driving off of a cliff! God help us.
I'm doing the drinking game: Everytime he says "middle class", "fight".or"inherited".
I can't tolerate the sound of his voice or the sight of him. He isn't going to say anything I might want to hear, and, if he did, it would be a lie. So, why bother?
I've got a nice book to read, 'Constantinople' by Philip Mansel. I recommend it.
I don't want to be more like Europe thanks.
I can't look at that picture, it hurts the eyes.
A tally of contributors to Big Government yields the following:
White Males 145
White Females 30
Black Males 5
Black Females 2
Other Ethnicities 0
Totals based on tally of headshots provided with biographical information.
The SOTU speech brought to you by Obamao for those that may miss it: looking at one telepropmter, "my fellow" looks at the other teleprompter, "Americans, it" looking back at the first one, "stinks!"
And your point is?
GET REALLY DRUNK……………
MAKE IT…………
" I "
I'm going to watch it, and all of it…If I'm going to debate the facts then I must be informed. I think everyone should watch it, and take notes. It's been easy so far to prove these people of contempt with just using their own words, and I can only imagine that Obama will be giving us plenty to talk about later tonight…
No matter how disgusting it will be to watch, everyone really needs to struggle through it. We need to stay on top of their words, and hold them accountable for their words every chance we get…Just make sure you have plenty of adult beverages on hand in order to make it through this tonight, and it may help numb your senses just enough so you can get through it…!?
No-Bama may give a conservative speech, but we're not buying it, we know who and what he is.
Not quite. Hope — The Obama Musical Story is now on stage in Germany.
I prefer to record on the DVR or Tivo… that way I can fast forward through all the unadulterated hand clapping euphoria of the libtards and still give my personal bartender time to freshen our drinks.
I'm going to watch it.
Be worth it, just to see Pelosi's multiple orgasms.
Do you think this data renders a point?
Yes Publius, it is quaint isn't it that the annointed one is compelled to address "We The People" whom he and the "progressives" of his ilk likely view as so many pesky insects.
Yet as Russell Kirk points out early in his classic book, "The Conservative Mind", "Edmund Burke, the greatest of modern conservative thinkers, was not ashamed to acknowledge the allegiance of humble men whose sureties are prejudice and prescription; for, with affection, he likened them to cattle under the English Oaks, deaf to the insects of radical innovation."
You see, it is actually these "progressives", of both parties, whom "We The People" need to shoo away in the upcoming mid-terms.
With her and Biden sitting behind him we can call it " The Botox back drop" !!!
Maybe we should have a drinking game while the POTUS speaks. Every time he says "I", take a chug.
………….and what demographic would YOU fall into?
Shoo away? I would rather have them put away.
Yes, assuming your numbers are accurate, I surmise there are a total of 182 contributors on this site.
I know I cant watch it… just hearing him makes my stomach hurt! Besides it will just be ANOTHER Obama speech.
You are correct.
To not watch it, would be akin to practicing the ostrich defense.
No.
I would dispute that statement.
There were more trolls than that on the O'Keefe thread alone last night.
Yes, this so-called "data" renders a point—a racist point.
For you, then, this data may trigger questions about demographics?
CL
With this person's reference to photos, I assumed it was the contributing journalists to which he was referring. As far as "commentors" I agree the troll count has been exponential, lately.
"Contributors" here are those individuals listed alphabetically (I assume as author/editor-contributors) under the "Contributors" link at the top of this page.
Not those commenting in the comment sections.
or "Unprecedented"
or "At the end of the day"
or "Let me be clear"
or "The last Administration"
or "folks"
or…I could go on for a while lol…
Yet another Obama speech? Which is worse, ignorance or apathy? DON'T KNOW, DON'T CARE!
there must be a hockey game on somewhere…
man!
you ruined my whole day
I'd -1 you, but you aren't wrong
Your such a good progressive, looking fo more non whites to label and assign a intitlement to.. Look at the color and not the content is so 1960's !!!
Perhaps squash like the f@#&*n' bugs they are would have been better aye?
The saddest thing is that Obama has done the very best he could. No, seriously, this is it. This is his "A" game.
Then everyone in the audience would be s…t faced drunk!!!
What is the racist point?
chopper
Good for you………you still have a job. Hold on tight!
SMART GUY HERE ! Will be armed with TWO airline barf bags…heh..heh..heh.. Just in case….
Perhaps you have a point lol…I will personally know it's time to stop drinking when Pelosi starts to look attractive…Then again, If I get that drunk I may need to get my stomach pumped…? Or my eyeballs scraped or something…lol
OMG… Thanks a lot, Cowboy… Just the vision of her in orgasm….watching all that botox climaxing… A thought NO MAN should ever have to endure !
Yes, a couple of points. 1.) You have too much time on your hands. 2.) You're race obsessed.
He's doing what trolls and Dems do best, he's
putting humans into categories….Let the little
small minded person do his job…No doubt
to report to one of the Left Wing Nut Blogs….
cardon
So, you are going to miss a chance to count his nose hairs?
What ! You only get 70 or 80 chances a yr.
rckmom
On target, mom!
Dear Democrats and Republicans,
Why did you give to the American People an ILLEGAL PRESIDENT?
You're right…I guess, I could listen, and not watch…I'll
go in a different room..I really get sick when I see that
smug, arrogant look!!
ConcernedVet123
Everything that can't be blamed on the 'last 8 years' (if negative) didn't happen the way we think it did. Let him "be clear" on that!
ACK… someone quick… stick a needle in my mind's eye!
Alcohol poisoning is no laughing matter, be careful what you recommend my friend!
They have SOTU Bingo !!!! Get your cards today !!!!

I believe there is a Fantasy Island marathon on Lifetime tonight… bet its ratings are higher then expected!
Obama has no clue what to do – Sorros bought him off before the presidency ….
FlatTaxer
You will be happy to hear–we will not be having a '2nd stimulus', we will be having a 'jobs bill'.
Do you know how to correctly spell stimulus? It's E X L A X.
I'll be catching up on my Young and the Restless and wait for hannity to tell me what happened
Some Questions:
Why have you 1) set a label here, "good progressive," and 2) attributed motivation, "assign an entitlement,"?
Is this an act of justification?
Do you believe justification is necessary for this data?
Do you presume this data compilation or the raw data itself is somehow skewed? (philosophically, rhetorically, or politically?)
Is the reference to the 1960s an instance of the "Chronological Fallacy?" (after Jacques Barzun)
Is not the attempt at discrediting the source of the data compilation another rhetorical/ framing trick akin to, for instance, the color/content reframing (assuming this is creditable) you cite?
You will be sooo sloshed!
You should try not to assume…Perhaps you should get your facts in order first, then present an argument based on your findings.
That is…If you indeed tend to debate a valid point to begin with…?
Check out the new version of "Mmm Mmm Mmm Barack Hussein Obama" at: http://www.myspace.com/rogerweber
You'll get a laugh!
You explicate from this data that someone (whoever that may be), somehow, merits personal insult.
With that methodology and skilled conclusion drawing you're not likely to be class topper in computation, statistics, philosophy, sociology, history, political science, etc., etc.,
What's the over/under on how many times he says "Let me be clear…" right before being vague?
SOTU?
Perhaps one of
THE TOP FIVE REASONS PRESIDENT OBAMA SUDDENLY APPEARS TO BE GOING BALD
http://naturalfake.wordpress.com/2010/01/26/the-t...
He will be in high gear. They will spew more lies geared towards what they think the people want to hear. I bet he has watched clip after clip of Scott Browns campaign. Will any one believe him after ALL the lies he's already told and be willing to drink the kool-aid. They are disparate and their ends justify their means. They would rather make excuses later to try and win elections in Nov. or pull the blame game. I trust NOTHING this guy says, NEVER. We must stay on our toes and not let them fool us again. If their not hemmed in by the truth, they will say and do anything. I guarantee you they are not and have never been hemmed in by the truth.They are arming up for election 2010. Watch out.
Like your predecessors who have made response, this data causes you to reflexively label :
it must have been collected by a "troll" or a "Dem" who is "putting humans into categories."
This is not indicative of intelligence, thought, or even comprehension, but of a behavioral syndrome and/or psychological pathology.
Are the numbers meaningful or not?
I'd rather stick my head in a toilet. He's that disgusting. Nauseating.
No, I do not "assume" (that is, as opposed to "presume") anything—I say the so-called "data" is not even real and that, therefore, the so-called "compilation" is non-existent.
No, they're not. Do you think they're meaningful? If so, why? If not, buzz off
I am thankful, and blessed.
I'll be watching Nancy, perched in the back like a gargoil, slapping her boney claws together.
Just makes you want to get up and dance the goose-step, doesn't it?
The President of the United States is about as minority as you can get. You would be spewing your racist crap even if the majority of all major leadership in America was held by minorities. You cannot debate issues, so you always revert to the race card. I'm a huge Alan Keyes fan, but I despise Obama. But, I'm sure you can sping this somehow, that I'm a racist. Come November the games will be over. I don't have to convince your kind of this. I will just wait and watch it with a six pack.
So these numbers are a mystification? As well as any sociological or political implications that might be posited based on them?
The alleged "numbers" are meaningless.
Wow you must have read "Rules for Radicals. It appears that you are trying to Isolate and demonize the posters on this site. Do you work for the current administration?
No, they're meaningless.
maybe they can all bring cue cards with "You Lie" on them and put them up every time he lies…although laughing or refusing to share any applause for him would be far more fun…..if he was going to announce his immediate resignation and reporting to the nearest federal pen, I'd be more than happy to listen to him…since he won't and the very sound of his voice makes me ill, I'll find something in the DVD library or on DVR…
Plotting then, a range between Not Meaningful,
through Somewhat Meaningful,
to Very Meaningful,
you, dAnconia_ Copper, would self-locate on the hard left of that range?
He's playing "race baiting for dummies".
It's fun at first, but after awhile it gets old and kinda loses it's colour.
Nice dodge.
I use the language of assumption from the standpoint of colloquial convenience not operational explanation.
I am not doing "fact" based arguments based on findings here.
Nor is this a debate.
I am more interested in Socratic interrogation based on varied responses to this information.
Seems more like a lazy sociology student doing a "study" on an internet thread. He uses really big words to say nothing. This is what passes for intelligence on college campuses these days, sadly; people with a great grasp of vocabulary, but serious deficiency in critical thinking.
Check mediamatters they are all white male and female. You have no point.
You'll have to let me know how many times she gives the loser O……….her standing-O.
I'll bet you it's in the double digits………….standing-O's……………not the orgasms.
Though what are the odd's?
I hope his teleprompter breaks. Wouldn't that be hysterical??!!
Okay. For me that's valid. You believe the numbers are meaningless.
Numbers. by the way, can not be "alleged" (they may be disputed.)
That is term applicable to law enforcement and jurisprudence.
