State of the Union Open Thread

by Darryl — Tuesday, 1/12/16, 6:16 pm

Okay…I’m late. Long day at work and bad traffic. But here ya go!

6:16: Are you better off today then you were in 2009? Almost everyone with an income under $200,000 should say yes, unless ordinary scenescence has brought you down. And then, you have health insurance, so there ya go.

Republicans not applauding the end of the recession #SOTU

— Carl Ballard (@BallardCrl) January 13, 2016

6:20: It’s hard to take Obama seriously for this State of the Union Address…what with Eddie Munster sitting behind him and all.

Eddie Munster will not clap for the good stuff. #SOTU pic.twitter.com/L96JwKk6qd

.@POTUS: "Anyone claiming that America's economy is in decline, is peddling fiction." (And/or, a Republican) #SOTU

— Goldy (@GoldyHA) January 13, 2016

6:24: Obama isn’t really introducing policy…rather he is systematically laying out the case why most Americans should be Democrats.

Oh shit – Paul Ryan shaved! I guess I have to get rid of my Paul Ryan themed facial hair… #SOTU

— Michael Maddux (@michaeljmaddux) January 13, 2016

President Obama says basic benefits should be mobile. We absolutely agree. More: https://t.co/5xQuKwikVA #SOTU

Biden is cracking a joke to get Paul Ryan to smile because…well, why not. #SOTU

— Carla Axtman (@carlaaxt) January 13, 2016

6:32: Shit…now Republicans are going to start denying Sputnik…

But republicans deny DNA… #SOTU

— Lizz Winstead (@lizzwinstead) January 13, 2016

6:37: Obama mentions “tea partiers”. Still conflict averse, or he would have said “tea baggers”.

6:38: I wonder if Obama, Biden, and Eddie coordinated their ties in advance….

Thanks, Obama "Gas under two bucks a gallon ain’t bad, either." —@POTUS #SOTU

— Josh Earnest (@PressSec) January 13, 2016

Obama in “Suck it Dubya” mode. #SOTU

— Imani Gandy (@AngryBlackLady) January 13, 2016

via @Wonkette: Look who decided to show up to the office today. Hey, stranger! #SOTU pic.twitter.com/jnfwnMHfSb

— Carla Axtman (@carlaaxt) January 13, 2016

To be fair, Joe Biden spread Crazy Glue on the seats in the Republican section. That Joe! #SOTU

— Goldy (@GoldyHA) January 13, 2016

This is, strangely, both the most hawkish and least hawkish speech Obama has given in recent memory.

— Brian Fung (@b_fung) January 13, 2016

Ryan also refuses to clap when Obama makes pro-diversity points.

— Civic Skunk Works (@civicskunkworks) January 13, 2016

I can't stand Paul Ryan's practiced smugness. #SOTU #SOTU16

6:58: What the fuck is up with dwelling on Kim Davis? She is a circus freak. Only deserves about 3 seconds….

Radical Obama assumption: The American people are a more intelligent audience that the majority in Congress.

— joel r. connelly (@joelconnelly) January 13, 2016

Ok for serious: Good job, President! 9/10. Would vote for again.

    If retired Canadian Rafael Cruz becomes President then in his SOTU he can enlighten us all about the miracle of Canadianness:

    This POTUS (trolls, he’s serving TWO TERMS) is hitting all the right notes in his last State of the Union.

    He’s been talking tough about the ISIL nutjobs. Oh noes! This contradicts the narrative of the HA trolls!

    Hey trolls, write your Kongress Kritter – they can still reach PEAK HATE and try to impeach this TWO TERM President.

    It will make you look like such klownservatics!

    I didn’t hear most of Nikki Haley’s official GOP response. Her diatribe was so offensive I walked away after two minutes. Instead of listening to her I went outside in the rain and took the garbage out. When I came back, I caught a few snippets of the Canadian candidate, and he was being petty, vindictive, and mean, too. I really hope America’s voters deliver a historic repudiation of this conservative negativity. Maybe Republicans would learn something from being taken out with the trash and put on the curb for pickup by the garbage truck.

    Hey folks! Let’s thank the ALWAYS WRONG WING..

    For convincing 20 PERCENT of the American people (including the odious Trump-hole) that the current TWO TERM President is NOT an American.

    http://www.usatoday.com/story/...../72246866/

    For convincing 29 or 30 PERCENT of the American people (including HA troll favorite crazed idiot Larry Klayman) that the current TWO TERM President is a muslim – as if anything is wrong with that!

    @5 I agree with LePage this time. When you’re a buffoon and fuckup to the extent he is, and your own legislature wants to impeach you for abuse of power, you shouldn’t show your face; you should hide out with the rest of the cockroaches and communicate by mail.

    @7,
    they are a deeply cynical and suspicious group of voters.

    That being the case, it ought to be relatively easy to arouse their suspicions with regard to a Republican candidate who has rather obvious character flaws and admits to being born in a foreign country. I intend to do my part.

    And your truly has done a search through the text of this TWO TERM President’s last SOTU.

    The word “Israel” does not appear! Oh noes! What a scandal! Boob’s eensy teensy leetle sidekick the babbling jackass troll will surely be distressed!

    If a true klownservatic like Karson or Kruz is elected this will be korrected! Oh yes! Bibi or Avigdor or Tzipi Hotovely will be seated up front with a klownservatic Preznit’s kabinet and a Karson or Kruz will lead the klownservatics in a standing ovation EVERY SINGLE SOTU..

    A new kabinet position will be kreated: Secretary of AIPAC! Kount on it from a klownservatic teahadi pretender to the Preznitsy near you!

    So, it seems the undercurrent of Obummer’s speech… Impeach the GOP, put Heilary under indictment, and disqualify Bernie as whack and I will continue to run TOTUS and fix the just us department so that my next 5 and 10 years will keep my legacy hot! You will have to keep me as dictator for another eight years!

    This is interesting. Back in 2008, when questions about McCain’s birth came up, the Senate unanimously declared that he’s a “natural born citizen” eligible for the presidency. Fast forward to 2016, and we see the Senate GOP leadership refusing to do the same favor for Ted Cruz.

    @13,
    McCain isn’t exactly Mr popularity himself. Yet in spite of that, his Senate colleagues from both parties all lined to support him in 2008.
    Both Claire McCaskill, the bills’ sponsor last time, and Majority Leader McConnell have flatly refused to do anything to help the foreign born Cruz.
    Cruz needs to get this fixed or he’s going to have trouble down the line.

    It isn’t even that complicated. There will be an international incident of grave magnitude and Obummer will be forced to cancel the elections and remain in power.

    Don’t you follow your own paranoid compatriots?
