The State of the Union Thread

[OneShotFOGE]

Obama: "I will not be running for office again."

Republican side: Thunderous applause

Obama: "Because I won both times." Grins, winks at the camera. Pauses. Laughs at his own joke.

Its like we're watching a TV sitcom. It'd be funny if it werent so damn depressing.

He is in love with himself.

What he meant was: "I fooled 'em twice".

 

[Dirty Steve]

No, what he meant was that Gruber guy who assembled my healthcare scam told me that you were all a bunch of dumbA$$es and would vote for me again if I promised more free stuff.

wow, this is a DEMOCRAT Senator:

Sen Menendez: "The more I hear from the administration... the more it sounds like talking points that come straight out of Tehran."

I'll admit that's a bit how I felt when he spoke as if the economy was great, and we had the whole world under control.

In his warped little childish mind he does.

Russia hits back at Obama over SOTU speech "at the centre of the (U.S.) philosophy is only one thing: 'We are number one and everyone else has to recognise that' ... It shows that the U.S. wants all the same to dominate the world and not merely be first among equals." Lavrov told a news conference

Well, they aren't wrong. We are number one.

Re: the Ginsberg photo

It is my understanding that she has scoliosis. Add to that the likelihood of osteoporosis at her age, and holding her head up for an extended period is probably excrutiatingly painful if not impossible. I don't know about the mirror, but I'm wondering if it is to allow her to see the people beside of her. Perhaps she's found it easier to interact somewhat normally that way rather than trying to move her head frequently ?

The reflection is in the acrylic pieces set up around POTUS on the stands. You see them around people on the podium.

After the speech Obummer gave another at a local town hall in a small suburban town outside of DC.
This is when my wife sent me this pic "through her glasses" its un friggn believable.

Turns out it wasn't the scoliosis. Ruth Bader Ginsburg: 'I Wasn't 100 Percent Sober' At State Of The Union

Ginsberg had a little wine before the speech. I'd need a drink also to have to sit through that.
