Did you watch?

 

I caught a couple minutes at the end. I DVR'ed it and will likely watch it tomorrow.

If a mod could make this a poll, I'd appreciate it.

 

It's tough to do (impossible) on the iPad for me.

Anyone else watch it and have any thoughts?

My thoughts:

 

1) Obama has done a great job of finding problems in America. I do not think he has viable (if any) solutions.

 

2) He is a master public speaker. I've never watched him speak before and he really gets the viewers attention (even though I disagree with 90% of his policies).

Cemented his inability to reach across the aisle tonight . Forever his legacy.

He should have made that speech last fall during election season. Although perhaps he would have if anyone had invited him to campaign for them. Bottom line for me - this country is in so much better condition today than it was 6 years ago that it is mystifying that Obama is so scorned, even if he is a liberal, Muslim, Kenyan born Democrat.

You mean his lies about the economy being good ? With real unemployment at 11%? Or his lies about foreign policy tonight. Or his bipartisanship making multiple veto threats.

 

Yep that would of stopped Republicans from winning the Senate.

I missed the speech. Can you give a quick outline of how the country is in so much better condition today than it was 6 years ago?

 

Thanks.

Boehner still rockin the tan!

You can go a long ways in life with a silver tongue.

I did not watch. However, I did laugh at the clip I saw on FB this morning where some Republicans gave a derisive cheer/clap when the President said he has no more campaigns to run and he replied "I know because I've won both of them." Who says he can't speak off the top of his head!

 

That was funny.

No thanks. A waste of time.

He can't fool all of the people all of the time. He is an educated man, with excellent speaking skills, who was/is completely not prepared to lead our country to greatness or any other large organization IMO. He make a studied effort to talk to the everymond as if he is one, but this is a fake approach as he has never worked side by side with a normal person. His motivations are unclear, but many suspect of a socialist agenda. What's not to like? He is the Manchurian candidate. If his policies were implemented unabated, he would have brought this country down.

 

I will add....everyone is relishing in the $2.00 current gas price. The lower prices are a result of OPEC dumping, and they will do this until it is no longer profitable to keep wells on line in the US. This point is already reached, and rig counts are dropping dramatically. This is going to drive an economic downturn after which OPEC will ratchet the price back up, and it is expected in the industry that gasoline will be $5.00 per gallon before the end of 2015. His 2016 SOTU might not be so easy.
