President Obama's best SOTU ever!

[MrScorpio]

No doubt about it.

[mcar]

1. It was excellent

Fast-paced, emotional, practical. Loved it.

[Cha]

4. Aloha mcar.. check out #3 and the quote from POTUS tonight..

[bravenak]

2. I was voting in that MSNBC pulse poll the entire time.

Clicking on yes.

[sheshe2]

17. Lol~

Your finger must be sore.

Damn he was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bravenak]

42. They kept kicking me out of the app!!

I kept logging back in, an tapping the button like I was playing video games. It was the best one yet!
Loved it!

[sheshe2]

59. I gotta love you bravenak!

Booboo~

I kept logging back in, an tapping the button like I was playing video games.

That must have been why I saw that line keep jumping to 98% approve!

Babe~ You rock

[bravenak]

62. Gotta do my part!!!

Can't keep a good woman down! Or a line graph.. Somebody said they were on three devices at the same time. What a brilliant idea! Next time, I'll remember that.

[Omaha Steve]

26. Except on TPP

Pretty much the rest was heck yes!

[bravenak]

43. Yep.

I only pressed no a few times. I had to. But the rest was beautiful. I felt the love.

[avaistheone1]

80. Great speech!

AND I do agree with you regarding the TPP.

[mcar]

28. I was too

It was fun.

[bravenak]

44. Boehner was sooo sour.

That was one of my favorite parts.

[calimary]

82. I was too. My computer kept locking up!

[Cha]

3. "Surely We Can Agree the Right to Vote is Sacred"..

[rbrnmw]

8. I actually cried when he said that and a few other things

[Cha]

12. I know what you mean, rbrnmw.

[lovemydog]

23. Same here rbrnmw.

[lovemydog]

24. How cool. We were just talking about this last night Cha.

[Cha]

25. That's right!

Thanks for the reminder, lovemydog!

[mcar]

27. So many good statements cha

I lost count. I got distracted by Boehner and his sour orange face.

[Cha]

33. This is how someone's Mom watched SOTU.. sent quite a few tweets out about it, too..

38. :D ...I couldn't figure out why that towel was there! Awesome!

[Cha]

46. Nice thing about flat screen!

[Bobbie Jo]

39. LOL!

[Cha]

47. gotta do what ya gotta do!

[mcar]

41. LOL

[Cha]

48. Next time!

[BrotherIvan]

79. And the towel was the appropriate color!

[Cha]

84. Yeah, if you want to stick with the same decor.. lol

[ZX86]

5. He will be a tough act to follow

Mark my words, in the future people will say of future presidents, "He/she's no Barack Obama".

[LawDeeDah]

9. yep. When the crazy fabricators and shitstainers lose interest, that is what will be said.

There will never be another like him. A perfect storm of a Presidency, in the good way. Just imagine what could be done without so many assholes in the mix, and I'm not only thinking of the GOP.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

20. when he first took office, I said he'd be the greatest.

Lost an abusive, racist, alcoholic boyfriend over that! Lost some so-called friends. Had some doubts when the negativity got deep here.

But I think it's the truth.

He held out realistic hope always based in ethical ideals, and backed up his goals moving forward with the record of successes achieved already. (I watched on whitehouse.gov, which had split screen with added visual info)

[C Moon]

40. On Facebook, I said he would go down in history as one of the greatest (2 years into his term)...

and someone else on the left, ripped me up one side and down the other.
I still stand by my comment.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

49. I always though there had to something wrong

with people who can't see the Goodness in him. I don't mean that to sound airy-fairy, either. (Not that I'm against airy-fairy)

[Voice for Peace]

81. totally agree with your assessment and some people just don't see goodness, period.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

83. I guess so....

I really can't grok that!

[Voice for Peace]

88. Think of yourself as a projector, and the world around you as the movie being screened.

That's pretty much how it is.
What we are is more or less what we see.

Good people see the good in bad people.
Bad people see the bad in good people.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

89. yep. I know that's how it works....

Intellectually....
My mother was BPD, and I've had more than my fair share of cluster B's drop into my lap .....I can recognize a lot of traits, but still......so alien.

[adieu]

30. Obama is the Jackie Robinson

of American politics.

[StopTheTPP]

6. Call your representative and senators tomorrow and tell them NO on TPP / Fast Track / TPA

[whathehell]

58. Yes!

Loved the prez and his speech tonight, but there must be NO TPP-- Ever!

[Lifelong Protester]

7. Excellent speech!

[herding cats]

10. He was on point and relaxed, it was an excellent speech.

Public speaking is one of the things I think Obama excels at more than most, having said that, even I was impressed with his performance tonight.

[mvd]

18. Agree

The feisty Obama is much better in my opinion. He still won't go as far as I think is needed but it gives me hope we can survive these two years of Repuke majorities.

It was his best SOTU

[herding cats]

22. I think it was his best SOTU as well.

Let's hope he stays feisty for the next two years and helps get us past them as whole as possible!

[Misskittycat]

11. Really Great Speech n/t

[3catwoman3]

13. Damn.

Good. Speech!

[SunSeeker]

14. Best SOTU I've heard in decades, maybe ever. nt

[RavensChick]

15. Outstanding!!!!!!!

[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

[sheshe2]

35. I love this!

Thank you RavensChick!

[RavensChick]

37. You're welcome!

[7wo7rees]

16. One thing we will always give President Obama, he is a great speechifer.

He can deliver a rousing speech.

[sheshe2]

63. Ahhhh~

But he has delivered so much more than a good speech. So much more to the American people.

[DCBob]

19. yes. thought so too.

[lovemydog]

21. 'Middle-class economics works.'

- President Obama

[joshcryer]

29. GOP boxed in so good.

[lovemydog]

31. Funniest part of the speech:

“I have no more campaigns to run."

A couple of people clap. President Obama looks at them.

"I know because I won both of them.”

[whathehell]

55. The funniest, quickest comeback I've heard in awhile!

Mr. Whathell and I roared when we heard it.

[lovemydog]

73. Had me laughing as well!

[whathehell]

74. Absolutely..

He's definitely the coolest, wittiest prez since JFK.

[freshwest]

69. Yep, that was a smack with perfect timing.

[SmittynMo]

32. He smoked it tonight

This man will go down in history as the best president of the century. For this country to come back after 6 years, is unprecedented. Is there anyone out there that thinks we'd be this far into a recovery, after what Bush did and damn near took us all down? And then to deal with all the racism and obstructionism, and still be where we're at today? I'm quite impressed.

Obama can walk the walk, and talk the talk. I'd vote for him again, if I could.

[lovemydog]

45. He sure did SmittynMo.

He said it's time to move past 9/11 and fear-based politics. That's significant and historical.

Time for bold actions that expand opportunity. Like free community college, child-care initiatives, raising the minimum wage. He will veto any economic bill that doesn't help strengthen the middle class.

It's up to us and others to keep moving forward.

[SmittynMo]

52. Did you notice their response to

free community college and fair pay? Absolutely nothing, which tells me they could care less about the middle class. Typical.

[lovemydog]

54. Yeah. I noticed Boehner blowing his nose, lol.

[Hekate]

34. It had the Orange Man sucking lemons the whole time

Yes, it was good.

[PatrickforO]

36. It was a populist message that received wide support.

America is very, very ready for a populist message. Last I saw, Obama's message was viewed favorably by a 37 percent margin, and most agreed among Dems, Republicans AND Independents.

[lovemydog]

50. Yes - populist.

That's what we need now. I love how he said to Congress if you can't support your own family on the current minimum wage, then vote to raise it for the hardest-working Americans!

[freshwest]

70. And said that those who vote against should try living like that... It was a clear call out.

[lovemydog]

72. Yes, a clear call out.

My first thought when I heard it was 'make those republican bastards who are against raising the minimum wage try living on only that amount for a year.'

I'm delighted by this State of the Union address. I will sleep well. Hope you do too freshwest. Or if you've already started your day, have a wonderful one!

[progressoid]

51. Yup.

[JDPriestly]

53. Take out the sales pitch for the TPP and pretty close to perfect.

[whathehell]

56. Knocked it out of the park -- Again!

He was fabulous.

[SeattleVet]

57. Very strong speech.

I wish that he had stumped with about 25% of this a few months ago; the GOP would have never taken anywhere near as many seats!

Had to love Joni Ernst's 'GOP Response to the State of the Union Address' that started out with, 'I'm not going to respond to the speech". She looked sort of like Dana Carvey doing the Church Lady character, but with a Stepford Wives spin to it.

[freshwest]

71. I posted a lot the same in the BOG. It just didn't get media coverage. He said the same things.

He's learned the hard way that he has been lied about, edited out and distorted on MSM. So he traveled almost daily through all of 2014, often stopping in several states in one day. He told real people the same things he talked about tonight.

[TimeToEvolve]

60. the important thing to notice in that speech is how he wants to make a beeline to the TPP TIPP CISPA

Call your senators and Reps tomorrow and tell them NO FAST TRACK /TPP /TPA

[Major Hogwash]

61. The important thing to note is how he wants to help the Middle Class and the Poor, while the GOP . .

. . is only interested in helping the Rich!

[lovemydog]

66. Absolutely.

Every democrat should say this simply and often, imho.

[Cha]

90. Thank you!

[99Forever]

64. Nope.

TPP and TPIP(or whatever the fuck it is called) = deal breaker.

All that came before it, was just lube.

[Cha]

65. A wave from the First Lady at SOTU..

[yuiyoshida]

67. That was an out of the park

Grand Slam.

[lovemydog]

68. "To everyone in this Congress who still refuses to raise the minimum wage, I say this:

Last edited Wed Jan 21, 2015, 05:27 AM - Edit history (1)

If you truly believe you could work full-time and support a family on less than $15,000 a year, go try it." - President Obama

That's a grand slam right there!

[Vinca]

75. I was following the MSNBC live polling and it seems everyone liked the speech.

The dimmer among us went "thumbs down" on the climate change part of the speech, but overall most people seem to think people should be paid fairly and educated without breaking the bank.

[hamsterjill]

76. Absolutely!!!!

THIS is the man that I voted for....TWICE!!!! LOL

He was amazing last night!

[nirvana555]

77. Fantastic speech from a fantastic President!

I was able to get through on CSPAN Washington Journal this morning and say so!

[Aristus]

85. Agreed!

[Joey Liberal]

86. I agree

It was awesome .

[libodem]

87. Yep

He graced our city today. Gobama!
