JiggersMemberI wonder how sugarcoated tonight’s speech will be? I’d rather hear him talk about his vacation to Hawai’i than how he’s planning to continue the economy’s growth.

RarelyEverParticipantsmitty –

anonymeParticipantWord is there will be NO discussion of financial crime…you know, the stuff that got us here to begin with?
I would love to see a parade down Wall Street of tarred and feathered bankers, hog-tied to poles – but it ain’t gonna happen.

SmittyParticipantAlthough now I’m hearing about a 5-year spending freeze. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
I am starting to like this fella more and more…..

JiggersMemberI heard that the Republicans and Democrats are both playing quarters and beer pong games with each other before they gallop into The House of Representatives.
On another note, Obama should come out and remind America what mess we were in when he was elected. Then he gradually digresses into the economic woes that we are still in.

charlabobParticipantBut jiggers, he can’t do that — to point out the obvious would be DISruptive. I’m interested in two things: whether any of the supremes show up (or if they’re too busy speaking, as scalia did, to the tea party caucus of the house) and whether he dares to advocate any sort of gun control (bans on 30 shot automatics? plastic guns that defy airport screenings?)
I’ll wait for the Cliff’s notes to see if either happens. BTW, if you miss the State of the Union, you can watch the much more popular Bill O’Reilly interview with Obama before the Superbowl. I look forward to the follow-up interview with Rachel Maddow.

JanSParticipantI’m waiting for Michelle Bachmann’s rebuttal…was just listening to Chris Matthews…it will definitely be interesting! (pay attention to what she says about slavery)

redblackParticipantdrinking game? start out slowly.
when obama says, “make no mistake,” take a drink.
like smitty said, when he says, “investment,” take a sip.
if he says, “now now nooowww… look.” take two drinks.
bachmann? end the evening with a guaranteed hangover: take a drink every time she says, “socialist,” or “socialism.”
like jan said, if bachmann says, “slavery?” bottoms up.
January 26, 2011 at 1:30 am #715169
JiggersMemberThat drinking game takes too much concentration.
January 26, 2011 at 3:23 am #715170
JiggersMemberA very good speech. Now let’s see how the Republicans twist it into negativity.
January 26, 2011 at 3:31 am #715171
ToddinWestwoodMemberdrink every time he says “GREEN”
January 26, 2011 at 3:48 am #715172
charlabobParticipantI’m still listening, thanks to Tivo and I have to say, damn he’s good. First he mentions repeal of “don’t ask don’t tell” and in the next paragraph says we have to welcome military recruiters to campus. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. So I can do both.
BTW, 6 of 9 Supremes showed up, including Chief Justice Roberts. Scalia, Thomas, and Alito were otherwise occupied.
My drinking game will begin *BEFORE* Paul Ryan and Michelle Bachmann. With luck, I will asleep before they start.
January 26, 2011 at 4:42 am #715173
JanSParticipantstill awaiting Michelle….
January 26, 2011 at 5:03 am #715174
charlabobParticipantShe’s not going to be on the tee-vee. She’s on some teaparty’s webcast, though I’m sure the MSM will cover it thoroughly. :-)
January 26, 2011 at 5:38 am #715175
theeParticipantmichelle bachman. lordy, i hope she runs for president. she’d be the most entertaining candidate since lil’ ross perot!
January 26, 2011 at 5:45 am #715176
JanSParticipantCNN had her on…was fairly short…and she was looking over your shoulder, not directly at the camera….kinda disconcerting :)
January 26, 2011 at 5:50 am #715177
JoBParticipanthubby had a flat
by the time we got the truck sorted and tucked into Les Schwab for the night..
got home.. made dinner and watched a little DVRd TV.. it was too late to care.
there is always tomorrow :)

JiggersMemberI actually thought Obama’s speech came out pretty conservative if you ask me. He played it safe,very safe.
January 26, 2011 at 6:52 am #715179
charlabobParticipantI agree, Jiggers — that, plus the mixed seating of R’s and D’s made it very difficult for people to know when to applaud and stand up. If you want to see something cool, watch the speech on whitehouse.gov. Not only did they simulcast, they had slides and other graphics illustrating his points.

redblackParticipantyeah, jiggers. not much red meat for my union democrat appetite.
and my drinking game sucked. man, was i off.
January 26, 2011 at 4:47 pm #715181
JiggersMemberToo add: If you go back and watch every president before Obama give the State of the Union, they all have the same language and tell us what we want to hear, but in different forms. It’s no different.

HMC RichParticipantSmitty, last year it was a three year freeze. Carry the one, divide by Netflix, multiply a piecost by 2, and add a henway.
