<p>in so many words, repudiates much what was implemented but takes for his own. Did anyone notice that the Republicans did ALL of the applause, and none of the Democrats. I don’t understand, W, is giving the Dems what they want and they don’t seem to be appreciate the gift and the Repubs are congratulating themselves for an about face and repudiation of the past.</p>
<p>Republicans applauded, b/c it is a republican president. Dems didn’t b/c it was a republican president.</p>
<p>This is why nothing is getting done in our country, both parties act worse than my kids. I say we vote every incumbent out and start with a new slate. Granted they will stumble about for a while, but maybe the ones that weren’t up for re-election will go “crap, I think the constituents are serious about us getting something done”.</p>
<p>Pelosi, would be the first to get rid of, has she gotten anything done since becoming leader? Last time I checked, no major bill has been passed under her watch, but she did get the larger jet to go back and forth to Calif., and a larger budget for flowers</p>
<p>I was trying to watch and listen to the speech.</p>
<p>I was distracted by the shuffling papers behind Bush. I was distracted trying to figure out who was going to jump up first whenever anything positive was said.</p>
<p>I have to admit, I was also distracted by the word “nuke-kill-yer”.</p>
<p>Every time Bush said it, I cringed… ;)</p>
<p>“I have to admit, I was also distracted by the word “nuke-kill-yer”.”</p>
<p>That was one of Obama’s points last week on Letterman’s “Top-10” list. “I promise to pronounce ‘nuclear’ … ‘nuclear.’”</p>
<p>Watching them jump up, is the fun part…tell me the last time anything from the State of the Union was actually accomplished? </p>
<p>I love watching the cameras pan on certain people and their reactions. Let’s be honest the news this morning was about Obama sitting next to Kennedy, not really about the speech. Now how is that news worthy? If Kennedy ignored Obama, that would be news</p>
