The bottom line is that the State of the Union Address is whatever we want it to be. As we are all trapped in our Jupiter-sized egos, we all believe that we have an incredible amount of knowledge at our disposal. In other words, we're all geniuses; we know everything. We went into the speech with our minds already made up. It didn't matter what the President had to say. if we want the speech to be lies, then the speech is a pack of lies; if we want the speech to be propaganda, then the speech is propaganda; if we want the speech to be inspiring or enlightening, then it is so.
Perception is reality; the world does not exist "out there" but instead in our own heads.
The sad reality is that for most who see this speech as propaganda, or "class warfare" or who simply dismiss it, if this speech was given by someone with an "R" next to their name they would feel differently.
We see in "Ds" and "Rs". there's no disputing that.
If after 3 years of a Republican administration that followed a disastrous Democratic administration that left us with 2 wars and an economic collapse, those who see our current situation as a failure would surely be singing a different tune.
This is not a defense of Obama. It is a defense of some type of intelligent discourse in this country. Sadly, I feel that intelligence in our discourse is impossible. Intelligence is something we lack.
I look at American society as a petty, un/misinformed mass of fools running around screaming "oh my god, I am going to die!" This is why we cling to mythology and fantasy. This is why we resign to live in the comfort of our egos, holding our noses up at any type of threat to our delicate egos. The unfortunate thing is as we hold our noses up, our brains are held lower.
We are all economists, political theorists, scientists, sociologists, anthropologists, historians. We have all the knowledge of the world in our puny little heads. As a whole, we are stupid. Those among us who have real knowledge, and who have abandoned their egos for a life of open-mindedness, selflessness, and cooperation are gems in a sea of mud.
Egos destroy civilizations. In this era of narcissism, greed, selfishness, narrow-mindedness, and self-righteousness, there is nothing more vile than the common fool.
We hate therefore we are.
We talk and talk and talk and talk. Where is the action? Action takes effort. If we are so damn smart and so damn special, if our egos tell us that we should be in charge, that we should have a role in where this country, where this society heads, then why aren't we in a position of power. Excuses flow like waterfalls. Once again, our over-inflated egos take over.

Good question. The action often ends with the talk of the campaigns and the speeches.
No offense, man, but you are one huge cynical ball of negative energy.

Regardless of what anyone has to say about Obama, he single handedly has more class in his one body than the entire GOP has in their entire party. Did anyone check out Boener making faces, rolling his eyes and general poor body language? I wanted to reach through the tv and grab his face and slap him silly!

class alone does not make a good president, I noticed more people then boener making faces and uncomfortable body motion and that tells me something...like maybe they see the real Obama in action or lack of, the camera panned on many people that you could just tell that they were not happy with Obama.

I understand your frustration with how people blindly hate the Obama, I was there a few years ago myself , but please don't call people idiots because they have different beliefs. To each their own.
DVR'd and spread over 4 hours of heavy Budweiser consumption, spliced with re-runs of Eastbound & Down every 45 minutes for brevity.
Then I vomited. Literally, threw up the jumbalaya and budweiser and blatant lies, that I had mistakenly swallowed while having my ears raped and violated by the biggest Marxist ass-clown to ever stain the office.
Other than that, I thought Moochelle looked radiant in that $2500 dress. What a queen she is.

Ya, unfortunately, continuing education is a hinderance, in that I rarely experience bliss...

I disagree, the color of the gown was beautiful, the sparkle on the front was too much and made it look like a cheap mother of the bride dress. In fact I have issue with all the women who were wearing 'look at me' colors - lime green , pink, purple - they are there to serve the people, and should dress as such, not to be noticed.

so you threw up lies that you ingested through your ears...?
If I note that Arnold Schwarzenegger was a California Governor of Austrian descent, is that racist as well?
The fact that Obama is of Kenyan descent is what eveyone recognizes as historic about his election.
Disagreeing with his policies and believing he's the worst President in the History of Fuckin' Up, is my right as a free citizen.
And please follow the posting guidelines regarding personal attacks and name calling.
Name calling is not ok.
it is not your right as a free citizen to spout ill informed bullshit like he is a marxist and he is a kenyan. you are doing that simply to be a troll. you know it. and we all know it.
arnold was born in austria. obama was not born in kenya.
comparing obama to a marxist is an insult to marxists everywhere. i know that you know better than that...
"You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln
i thought it was a decent speech. i find it telling that the republicans did not applaud things like his plan to get companies to bring workers back here. i guess that might create jobs to decrease the unemploment rate, and we can't let obama do that now can we? :roll:

Ah, that's no different than when it's the other way around. Yes, it's disheartening, but Republicans don't have sole possession of partisanship. That's why these things are a waste of time. When getting news to people was difficult, this made sense. But, Obama can make his case (and every President since the 1970's) every day of the week. It's really unnecessary now.
Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.
