SOTU 2013

[Capt Worley PE]

OK, I fell asleep about 9:30, woke up just before 10, and switched over to Tosh and The Burn.

I'm assuming I didn't miss much.

 

[Road Guy]

something about a black kid in a library not acting white...

 

[Flyer_PE]

I've stopped watching the thing since it's all just Kabuki theater anyway. Takes a lot less time to read it than to watch it since I don't have to pause for 30 seconds and watch a standing O after every sentence.

 

[Capt Worley PE]

Wasn't that a standing O in front of Biden and Boehner?

 

[Flyer_PE]

^Well played sir.

 

[Capt Worley PE]

<takes a bow>

 

[snickerd3]

that was last night?

 

[Master slacker]

I was too busy balancing our budget to listen to reasons why the government can't.

 

[goodal]

Watched UK lose and the dog show thing. I'm pretty sure I got more out of those than I would have from the SOTU. Just more of the same :mf_followthroughfart:

 

[Capt Worley PE]

From the SOTU: We’ll bring down costs by changing the way our government pays for Medicare, because our medical bills shouldn’t be based on the number of tests ordered or days spent in the hospital – they should be based on the quality of care that our seniors receive.

Ummm...yeah.

This kind of break from economic reality is astounding.

 

[Judowolf PE]

You don't have to make sense to be POTUS, just be charasmatic and have the media in your back pocket!

 

[Flyer_PE]

Government can set prices, they cannot set costs. If they set the price of an item/service at $99.00 and the actual cost is $99.01 or greater, at some point in the very near future, that item/service will be in very short supply.

 

[Freon]

If Obama's lips are moving, he is lying.

 

[Judowolf PE]

Obama can talk all he wants, congress isn't going to do anything. It's the executive orders and the power of his administration's rule book that i fear will flush us down the toliet

 

[goodal]

I dont remember past presidents having to run around the country stirring people up for their proposed policies, but it could just be my bad memory.

 

[Judowolf PE]

well MO has to have little mini-vacations between her trips to Hawaii...

 

[Supe]

Didn't bother to watch. Heard the same lies four years ago, haven't felt a need to hear them again ever since.

 

[Judowolf PE]

I didn't watch either, but from the reports I heard from, he's taking his agenda and executive order power to the next level since he doesn't have to worry about getting re-elected again(at least so far, might push for a drop in term limits yet)

 

[Capt Worley PE]

Anyone notice how Biden's eyes looked all black? Creeped me out.

 

[snickerd3]

^ so he is a thirsty vampire?
