# Bachman

Scenery - constitution.  Something that she doesn't understand or care to read.  She is awful.  Just so proud of herself.  She thinks the president should appeal Obama Care.  Idiot.

"We need to start making things again in this country."  I think we need to start making Representatives who speak on TV have some idea what they are talking about, or at least where the camera is.

"The maintenance of our liberties."  So long as it doesn't involve equal rights, voting rights, marriage rights or anything else she doesn't believe in.

Declaration and Soldier optics make her look patriotic.  Patriots don't lie about our country or our president.

#sotu Bachman

She is not looking at the camera.  Saying "can't wait to hear what she has to say is like saying, can't wait to read the instructions on toilet paper package."

#sotu Troops

Standing ovation for the troops.  Let's see how they react to the money he is about to propose for the wounded.

#sotu Tunesia

Please, tell me we are not sending troops there.

#sotu Ear Marks Veto Pledge

I will veto any bill with ear marks in it?  Sheesh, Ear Marks are less than three tenths of one percent of the federal budget.  Lets stop spending our money in Iraq and Afghanistan.  I want my friend Andy to stay home so I can tease him about his hair in person.

#sotu Boring Speech

I have to admit, I may be as bored as the Speaker.  Not a very exciting speech.  Not enough big ideas or excellent sound bytes.

#sotu Michele Bachman Speech

Make sure to watch this video of Idiot Tea Party leader Rep. Bachman, as she asserts that slavery in the US was not ended by Lincoln and the Civil War, but rather by the Federalists in the founding period.  What a dick.  Tea Partiers love the crazy

#sotu Hillary Fantasy

Can't quite imagine how different this might be if Hillary had won...

#sotu Fix what needs fixing and move forward.

smirky Boehner

#sotu Boehner couldn't look more bored.

He should have brought a tanning lamp with him.

High Speed Rail @sotu

Not if the Republicans have anything to do with it.  New Republicacan Governors Walker and Branstad rejected federal funds for High Speed rail that would connect Des Moines, Madison and Milwaukee to the rest of the country.

Rebuilding America

High Speed Rail, High Speed Internet.  South Korean homes have greater internet access than we do.  Maybe because they don't have Comcast there.  Yet #sotu

Standing Ovation

Democrats look weak.  Seating chart not advantageous.  Who made this seating chart?  Tom Delay? #sotu

Make tax credit for college permanent

Republicans don't go for that, not a corporate tax break.
#sotu

Education

Over the next ten years over half of all new jobs will require post secondary education.

Are we willing to do what is necessary to give every child a chance to succeed?
Boehner Claps for celebrating the winner of the science fair.  Hmmmm.  BP Scientists probably.

Race to the top:  Chris Christie is somewhere in a New Jersey snow bank, bawling his guts up.

Eliminate the Billions of Taxpayer Dollars we currently give to oil companies.

No applause from Boehner.

Renewable Energy

Republicans don't like scientists, they find facts that don't match conservative's knowing...

We Know What it Takes.

"Out innovate, out educate and out build the rest of the world."
He's about to pitch a big spending proposal on R&D and education.

"In America innovation doesn't just changed our lives, it's how me make our living."
Brilliant sound byte.

I wonder how many presidents have said "Sputnik" during a SOTU?

Over one Million Jobs created in the last year

George W. Bush created exactly 1.1million net jobs in 8 years.

We Measure Progress by the Success of Our People

Last year the Supreme Court ruled that businesses are people too.  So if you factor the Wall Street businesses in, on average, Americans are hugely successful.

Starting Out With Tucson

If the only lesson that we learned from the shooting of Rep Giffords is that we can sit next to each other, what an awful statement that is about America and Amercans.

Conservative Bloc of the Supreme Court Ominously Absent



The Entrance

Leonard Boswell on the main Aisle greeting the President.  Brad Zaun probably wishes he had won that election, so he could be sitting as far away as possible.

Bipartisan Seating

Looks a little bit like Prom Night at an alternative night school.  Bizarre.  I've got nothing against the parties seating together, but it would be nicer if they learned to work together.

Live Blogging The State of The Union

Join me here, or on Twitter.  I'll tell you what I think about what the President has to say tonight.  You tell me what you think.
