To be realistic? Yeah... Obama had his speech writers (and the very best for these) and the GOP had their speech writers ...and not such a great speech giver. A little too excited maybe..I dunno..

Help! I watched the whole damn thing. I now have a head stuffed with left over soggy cotton candy from previous campaign speeches. Then, I almost fell asleep from the GOP female Mr. Rodgers' bedtime story voice, lulling me into Goodnight Moon dreamland.
I want those 2 hours of my life back!

Anyone that does not clearly see that Obama has been blocked by the Republicans on nearly everything he tried to get through is not looking.
The Republicans have even blocked Obama on things they wanted but could not get under Bush! I don't like many of the things Obama has done or wants. It does not however change the facts. No President has ever been cock blocked to the extent this one has. Most of us know why......
I will be watching tonights speech for the first time in a couple of years.

he scariest part of the speech (for me) was the My-RA.
Government is going to take my 401k.
I'm not liking this.
On the table are two new savings plans -- a so-called Lifetime Savings Account and a Retirement Savings Account -- that would be open to anyone regardless of their income. A third kind of plan, called an Employer Retirement Savings Account, would replace a slew of existing work-sponsored savings vehicles including 401(k), 457 and 403(b) plans.

Anybody else notice that President Obama shakes his head "no" when he says "my fellow Americans"?
subconscious flaw? Personal tick?

Funny how no one else seems to realize this and I don't understand why when I thought ATS was full of positive thinking people. Obama can't get anything done because he is stopped at every turn. Now if he does nothing then he gets dismissed as a lazy, stupid, do-nnothing president. If he takes action as he has done then he gets labled as stubborn headed and difficult to work with. He's in a no-win situation and gets blasted whichever way he moves.

Careful with that logic, you will upset all the 'true americans' and 'patriots'.
