Live Chat – President Obama’s 2012 State of the Union Address

AdLib

January 24, 2012

AdLib : Night Sally!
SallyT : Good night Ad Lib!
AdLib : Looks like a good point to end our SOTU edition of our Live Events chat. The conversation continues on the SOTU thread: «link» . Thanks to all for a fantastic Live Chat!
AdLib : I get annoyed by the GOP’s back and forth in elections but I must confess I’m looking forward to Obama really going into campaign mode to take on Romney or Newt and the whole GOP Congress.
SallyT : He is so passionate about the things he cares about like SS and Medicare. You know he really is from his actions.
AdLib : Sally – Tough for him dealing with know0nothings like that Repub operative.
SallyT : I loved him on there, AdLib. He wanted so bad to come over the table after that guy!
AdLib : I like Bernie, he was good on Maher.
SallyT : Bernie Sanders is going to be on the Ed Show.
SallyT : I think he was just making sure it got out there from somewhere other than 60 Minutes.
AdLib : It will be a central issue during the campaign.
AdLib : Sally – But he didn’t talk much about it nor suggest what should be done to right it.
SallyT : Oh, not Citizens United, AdLib. I met the inside trading.
SallyT : Obama did have that in SOTU
Chernynkaya : Will do!
AdLib : Just realized that Obama didn’t really address Citizens United.
SallyT : Chris is bringing up insider trading in congress.
AdLib : Cher – Then have a good drink in the meantime to wash the taste of Daniels’ BS out.
AdLib : Otherwise, have a nice evening, CL.
Chernynkaya : Oh, I’m not going to sleep. I have to put DP together. I wanted to wait for the SOTU stories.
KQµårk 死神 : Bush caused the need for the bailout.
AdLib : You can go to the Live Events page instead: «link»
choicelady : Dang – my sidebar is freezing up. Sorry – I’m logging off!
SallyT : Cher, have enjoyed! See you later. Have a good rest of the evening with hubby.
AdLib : CL – Don’t forget that TARP was Bush’s bailout too!
choicelady : The only good bailout is a Bush bailout – S&Ls with Daddy, and banks with W. Anything Obama does benefits real people, so – not good enough.
AdLib : Night Cher! Sleep well!
AdLib : The Presidential election in 2012 will be a choice between the vision, accomplishments and real answers that Obama represents and lying, flip-flopping fear mongering and promotion of letting the rich get richer. How is that even competitive?
foodchain : we need traitor rules; seriously
Chernynkaya : We sure did, CL. I wish we could have seen that speech. I’ll try to find it and post it on Daily Planet tomorrow. Speaking of which–I gotta go. Great chat AdLib–thanks!
KQµårk 死神 : Ed it was sad when the GOP sat on their hands when talking about the auto bailouts. They would have really rather seen the auto industry fail than it succeed under Obama. That’s what traitors they are.
AdLib : Obama’s speech sure blew up Romney’s BS.
choicelady : We lost a lot of laughs when Cain crashed and burned!
AdLib : Bito – Exactly, if only we had Daniels in the WH the last 3 years, think of how cheap homes would be!
Chernynkaya : It’s fabulous, AdLib! I love Cain.
choicelady : Oh good – got the sidebar version. Cher – that’s so CAIN of him! LOL!!!
bito : W’s budget director director telling us how to balance the budget? How did that 10.2 billion deficit and financial crash work out Mitch?
AdLib : Cher: Only some of them are not stupid? Love it!
Chernynkaya : Tjis is priceless! Cain: “I say on behalf of Tea Party & citizen people across this country, some of us are not stupid. State of union is not good” #TPresponse
AdLib : The chat can use up a bit of local memory so for an event like this, sometimes you do have to close and reopen your browser to clear the memory.
SallyT : Bito, you did a good job with the Twitter. You are my only connection with that, you know.
Chernynkaya : bito–I have a new laptop. It crashed only once. feed those babies well!
SallyT : Bito, mine crashed 4 times, too. My hamster wouldn’t get off the wheel!
AdLib : Heh! Still, you did a fantastic job on Twitter, Bito!
bito : Not bad tonight, my old laptop only crashed 4 times. Note to self: buy more hamster food.
foodchain : night murph. great efforting on everything you’ve done
SallyT : Night, Murph. See you later on here.
Chernynkaya : Night, Murph!
AdLib : Hey Murph, take care!
Chernynkaya : The GOP is indeed a shell AdLib. They are bereft of any ideas or any ideology except that of hate and fear–which is proof of their emptiness. Actually an American tragedy. It’s as if half our country is impotent.
AdLib : Do we really need a Repub nobody on MSNBC to just avoid truths and provide nothing else.
SallyT : Better yet, FC, I’ll buy you one if we can get together.
MurphTheSurf3 : This was great. Thanks Ad Lib and all of those who took part tonight. Y’all make this good fun. Heading over to the “site that dare not speak its name.” to see what blandness is being slathered on there.
foodchain : Sally, think I’m good with trying smith and kerns
AdLib : Cher – That’s perfect, please do!
SallyT : Try one of those next time out. I like it better than White Russian. But you see what you think.’
Chernynkaya : AdLib, I meant I will do it tomorrow on Daily Planet. OK? Or if you want that’s OK too.
AdLib : Think about it, all the GOP has is fear and lies and a return to Bush economics on steroids with slashes to entitlements and public services. That’s attractive to who?
foodchain : Smith and Kerns? Quick google, I’m kind of a wine lover but I’ve been know to dip into alternatives
SueInCa : Obama will have Mitt stumbling like a stumblebum in any debate Mitt cannot debate
Chernynkaya : It is Murph.
AdLib : Cher – Yes, that makes a lot of sense. Will do.
MurphTheSurf3 : BACKGROUND: 19 Facts in Support of Obama’s SOTU from Progress Report. «link» REALLY EXCELLENT.
Chernynkaya : Anyone: Is it worth it to put up the transcript of SOTU on Daily Planet?
MurphTheSurf3 : Don’t forget this…really impressive list and source links.
AdLib : Now imagine Daniels debating Obama on Doom and Gloom vs. facts and can-do American spirit. Then imagine Romney lying his ass off about how Obama has failed at everything or Newt calling him a Food Stamp President. How does the GOP win, really?
MurphTheSurf3 : ad lib…oh, it could well be a fraud, my point is that he was striking the pose of a midwest farmer, factory worker, small town conservative…. .
Chernynkaya : I think it’s a rebuttal to those who think that helping out homeowners and others sounds like helping unworthy welfare cheaters.
SallyT : FC, ever had a Smith and Kerns?
AdLib : I like tickety, sounds like a fun trip would result!
foodchain : damn key board. ticket
foodchain : I’ll save up for a tickety
AdLib : Murph – It’s a fraud, by saying means testing for entitlement programs…it’s an entre to slashing benefits for whoever they decide should have them slashed, including part of the 99%.
SallyT : Damn, FC, I wish I was closer to you!
AdLib : Cher – Sure, we can agree but someone has to explain what that means to the top 1%.
MurphTheSurf3 : Ad Lib….Daniels.. ..we need means testing for entitlement programs, fairer taxing, reduction in spending across the board, none of the inflammatory language….but he was a downer
foodchain : No no, Sally you need a White Russian, or something with a better name
AdLib : Cher – Hard to know what any pundit truly believes. Their career is tied into their image, not their honest opinion. So, I don’t know about him.
Chernynkaya : Also, Can we retire “work hard play by the rules”?
Chernynkaya : Agreed AL. But I also think Tweety might believe in it too.
AdLib : So, any thoughts if anything discussed might occur?
SallyT : All I can say, AdLib, is I need a Tums
foodchain : Bouno Notto AB
AdLib : This is why I keep saying, don’t invest in the MSNBC hosts. Ego and career take precedence even for them. Matthews was trying to look like he wasn’t partisan so chose to support Daniels’ speech which was just another fear-infected one.
AlphaBitch : Adios,queridos! may your suenos be dulce.
SallyT : AB, good night.
KQµårk 死神 : TC AB.
Chernynkaya : Vaya con dios mi amiga!
AdLib : Night AB!
AlphaBitch : Okey dokey. Mitch put me to sleep. My turn to nap. Later, gators!
Chernynkaya : Tweety: Daniels was Kennedy-esque. And speaking of JFK, i wrote a book…
AdLib : Murph – I disagree, it was a doom and gloom BS speech trying to say that the world is about to explode and only by electing Repubs and making the wealthy wealthier, can we save ourselves from certain destruction. Total BS.
SallyT : I like Wonder Bread and I thought it was boring, too.
Chernynkaya : She did. I was pleasantly surprised.
KQµårk 死神 : The Republican Nostradumbarses again are predicting we are going over Niagara Falls WTF?!
SallyT : Rachel just told Chris he is full of shit in the nices of tone.
AlphaBitch : I’m sorry i thought it was INCREDIBLY boring. But I don’t like Wonder Bread, either.
AdLib : Rachel reflected what we’ve been saying.
MurphTheSurf3 : Ok….I have been snarky…the speech was serious, old time conservativism.. ..mixed with a lot of negativity…..o dd but also real.
AdLib : What does Daniels’ speech have to do with reality? It’s not the policy of Romney and Newt.
KQµårk 死神 : GOPTEA hates that he did not want to slash entitlements.
Chernynkaya : Even rachel just said, what’s the deal with city on the hill? I mean really?
KQµårk 死神 : The only good part is it was short.
MurphTheSurf3 : Pernumbra? Cool?
AdLib : Here this douche is, attacking everyone who thinks differently then saying that they believe in coming together. What frauds and liars. No one is going to pick this mess of a speech over Obama. City on a hill? Again? What a douche!
Chernynkaya : But actually, he’s doing a good job of articulating how the losers in life really feel. They know they’re kinda stupid but it is insulting and they need someone to tell them they’re not.
AlphaBitch : ZZZZZZZZ..sqark. .zzzzz
MurphTheSurf3 : Danny, your pal are STRIKING OUT….BOLDLY, BALDLY AND BADLY
SueInCa : Always claiming the family values when you have a mistress on the side. The four tops called it an Outside girl
Chernynkaya : But it’s true, mitch. you guys are morons and can’t screw in a light bulb.
AdLib : Light bulb? Really? You think that’s a winner???
AlphaBitch : The blov is from IN. Dumb in Texas, boring in IN. What can I say?
MurphTheSurf3 : And we are climbing the stairway to heavan…..at the top St. Ronnie….laughi ng at us.
SueInCa : Doom Gloom but we will speak the language of UNITY? Head in the sand Daniels he also has a mistress problem
AdLib : Daniels: “If we don’t make the wealthy wealthier, nothing can be made better. We welcome everyone to join us, as long as they believe exactly what we believe.”
Chernynkaya : KQ–that was actually profound.
MurphTheSurf3 : Is Mitch calling on his GOP buddies to get something done or face the music?
KQµårk 死神 : The GOP is so full of bullshit they only exist because of divisions.
Chernynkaya : he one wild and CRAAAZY guy.
SueInCa : Oh god this guy is a spooky one I cannot wait for the Occupy demonstration of his superbowl
AdLib : Mitch Daniels nickname is “Mr. Charisma”.
Chernynkaya : Projection much?
SueInCa : Where has this guy been? Republicans passing what?
AdLib : Daniels: “Everything will be destroyed if we don’t get Republicans elected! Boo!!! BOO!!! BOOGEY-BOOGEY-BO OGEY!!!”
AlphaBitch : hey Mitch: there’s treatment for rosacea. Too bad not for boring.
Chernynkaya : I think he’s got a glitch in his giddyup.
KQµårk 死神 : Fuck Mother Teresa we need more Gordon Gekkos
AlphaBitch : Maybe he has that same flesh colored bandaid over some boil that W. had.
Chernynkaya : Murph-HAHAHAH!!
MurphTheSurf3 : Cher…trying to hide the neocon parasitic organism controlling him?
Chernynkaya : Thanks Sue! Now he’s saying cut social services and lying.
AlphaBitch : Wow, I so don’t need the Xanax tonight.
AdLib : Aha! If there are no regulations on causing cancer to millions of Americans, money will be saved and some jobs can be given to them before they die from being uninsured!
SallyT : Cher, do you think he would lean to the left?
SueInCa : Cher signed it in a second
Chernynkaya : Why is his head turned to the right?
AdLib : HUH??? Being a businessman is one of the noblists pursuits? Damn those Peace Corps assholes!
SueInCa : Remember he was budget for the Toy Story Cowboy and look how that ended
AlphaBitch : How large a forehead is legal?
Chernynkaya : AL–‘Zactly!
SallyT : Oh, Cher, tell this jackass where Jobs created those JOBS.
AdLib : Daniels: “A positive and better plan to make life better…for our political donors.”
foodchain : this is a clever man, Daniels
MurphTheSurf3 : Director of the U.S. Office of Management and Budget under George W. Bush.
Chernynkaya : Check out this re Daniels «link»
SueInCa : He is contradicting himself all they way
foodchain : Wow, he did not cause the crisis
bito : TEST…
SueInCa : Do they all hate Europe?
AlphaBitch : Has and soon to has? Good God, he’s channeling W.
AdLib : Daniels: “Life sucks! America is in the gutter! The sun is exploding! You have nothing left to live for. Vote Republican.”
SallyT : You are full of shit, Danials, people are still looking for work but what have you guys done to help.
choicelady : Already hit the BS alert – I will have to restrain myself or I’ll never hear ANYTHING else. GOP’s first concern is the rich, period. That’s the end of it.
AlphaBitch : Hope someone does a bad lip reading for Eeyore tonight.
bito : Mitch Danials just had to return 100,000 bucks of dirty money and he is telling us how to behave? FU
AdLib : It does help to have the Alert running over his lies.
MurphTheSurf3 : No audience, speaking off to the side (ala Bachmann), why Danny boy are we having to spend to much….because of the budget you put together under your boss.
SueInCa : So have I Adlib
Chernynkaya : Broke the arrow already. nit even 60 seconds in.
AlphaBitch : EEYORE!!!!
KQµårk 死神 : Daniels looks like a pasty super villain.
AdLib : I’ve already hit my Bullshit Alert twice.
choicelady : Well – it IS nice to have someone from the Right at least be polite about the bin Laden success.
AdLib : This is so obvious, start with compliments then sandbag with insults and doom and gloom.
MurphTheSurf3 : SuperBowl 46 where the players association has announced its opposition to the Daniels right to work bill.
bito : Paul Begala @PaulBegala So proud of our President tonight. Proudly patriotic, powerful & populist SoTU. Beautifully written, wonderfully delivered.
AdLib : What a weenie Daniels is.
AdLib : Choicelady! Nice to see you! The speach starts now!
Chernynkaya : Brit Hume in Fox: Obama “made a reasonable case for himself.” That’s aamazing.
AdLib : KQ – Actually, it will probably piss off many here, to hear Daniels dissing Obama and blatantly lying about him.
choicelady : Hi – just in from a Roe v Wade 39th anniversary celebration. Heard a little of the speech. When is Daniels’ “response” (or drum pounding) starting? I’m getting C-Span talk right now on the link.
KQµårk 死神 : That would surely put me to sleep AdLib
AdLib : O’Donnell is such an egotist, he’s been pissed off after having his time slot demoted, looking like a fool for supporting Pawlenty, he is not to be taken without a grain of salt.
AlphaBitch : Howdy do, ma’am.
Chernynkaya : O’Donnell has totally lost it. his show now sucks.
Chernynkaya : hello?
AdLib : Here’s a link for anyone not watching on tv, for the Mitch Daniels response: «link»
MurphTheSurf3 : Boeher speaking to a chamber and no one listening…busi ness as usual.
KQµårk 死神 : O’Donnell is full of shit like Klein said the corp minimum tax for offshore investments is new.
AlphaBitch : Ari Flusher didn’t hear the speech, obviously.
AlphaBitch : Watching MSNBC and/or FOX.
KQµårk 死神 : Here we go again. Had to turn off the talking heads. What a buzzkill.
SallyT : I remember being inspired by Clinton. I was tired of Reagan and Bush.
AdLib : Mitch Daniels’ nasty response will follow momentarily on whatever channel you’re watching but if you’re watching the live stream, that’s not the case. Hang on, I’ll find a live stream link…
MurphTheSurf3 : Bito…read Matthews book….what bieblievers do at his concerts. Weak.
AlphaBitch : What channel is Milktoast Daniels on?
AdLib : Aw hell, I’m gonna push the Bullshitter Alert just to warm up for Daniels.
Chernynkaya : Testing.
bito : Fuck you Tweety, how come you compare it to Clinton, why not JFK and push your damn book!
MurphTheSurf3 : Get ready to click that Arrow of Untruthiness…. Daniels is slinking to his podium.
AdLib : O’Donnell has been pissed off at politics since Pawlenty dropped out. He is not a steady voice of logic.
SueInCa : AL We have the Fuckin Bullshit Button
AlphaBitch : Watching Fox – just to be “fair and balanced”
Chernynkaya : Is Lawrence O’Donnel awake?
MurphTheSurf3 : Chris Matthews just captured the speech very well…when he is hot, he is hot.
SueInCa : Cat me either I liked him but not inspired
bito : OurFuturedotorg @OurFuturedotorg Obama: No one build this country on their own. This nation is great because we built it together. #sotu #p2
Chernynkaya : It has so many new and exciting ideas. really specific but not wonky!
AdLib : As I mentioned, stay tuned, we have a bowl of poison about to be poured on America by Mitch Daniels.
AlphaBitch : CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES, COME ON!!!!
KQµårk 死神 : AB
escribacat : KO “This was a great presentation.”
escribacat : I gotta say, I never felt this inspired by Clinton
AlphaBitch : Want to join me, KQ
AdLib : That was a great speech and I don’t say that because of cheerleading. It was powerful, specific, covered everything, emotional…this speech will be remembered and will echo throughout his campaign.
SueInCa : AB I go to a black church in Oakland every so often man they are happy. First time I was scared to death
KQµårk 死神 : Absolutely AB.
Chernynkaya : He has to keep reminding the fucking bigots that he’s an American.
AlphaBitch : Sue I wanted to go to Al Green’s church in Memphis and get saved by him!
Chernynkaya : Really smart!
AdLib : Sue – Halleluja!
foodchain : 50 stars, 13 stripes, come on!!
MurphTheSurf3 : P-O-W-E-R-F-U-L ending….in this moment of trial, joined like our flag….
escribacat : Sue LOL. Me too!
SueInCa : He would be a good minister even I would go to church
AdLib : This is good, use that mission to make the case for bipartisanship and the foolishness of the GOP’s adversarial mindset.
escribacat : I am glad he is reminding teh nation of this achievement. I never thought we’d get OBL but they did!!
AlphaBitch : NICE closing!
foodchain : Murh ever spend time in chicago?
AdLib : Yeah but Bob Gates didn’t want Obama to send Seal Team 6 in!
MurphTheSurf3 : We have been sent to serve….put on the uniform members of Congress….it’ s the Mission that focuses our energy….We need a Seal Team approach to governing…..Wh at really matters…the Mission.
SueInCa : KQ you are right he has nothing to lose but everything to gain
KQµårk 死神 : Seal Team Six Hoorah!
foodchain : No one can deny the military right now
SallyT : It is KQ but the RePukes will say it was just a political speach. But aren’t they all?
foodchain : Great reference
AlphaBitch : “those of us sent here to serve…..NEED TO GET OFF OUR ASSES AND SERVE. You’re not a war, asshats – we’re on the same fucking side.”
AdLib : Just imagining the venom stored up in Mitch Daniels’ response, penned before they knew what Obama was going to say. He and the GOP will look smaller for it but be prepared to be pissed off.
KQµårk 死神 : I know I’m biased but I think this is Obama’s best SOTU address yet.
SallyT : Hire a VET! YEAH!
Chernynkaya : Yeah, I know KQ. Nit really upset. Just tired of it.
KQµårk 死神 : Get that Romney you fucking liar.
foodchain : Murph, why has that been so hard? I can’t even come close to understanding this
AdLib : A lot of exercise for the Congress, lots of aerobic standing and clapping.
MurphTheSurf3 : Now take care of our vets when they come home.
AlphaBitch : Soldier stand
SueInCa : Cher I saw that too weird huh?
SallyT : There it is Ciber Threats not naval!
MurphTheSurf3 : Finest military and 1/2 trillion in savings…steppi ng away from a boots on the ground, big force, long engagement force.
Chernynkaya : Just noticed that the lighting looks like Jesus sunbeams coming down at Obama.
AdLib : He’s pounding on Newt and Mitt for claiming America is less respected and has worse relations. And it’s convenient that it’s the truth too.
KQµårk 死神 : Cher you know it’s a requirement.
AdLib : Cher – We WILL see Obama debate and asshat.
Chernynkaya : Agree, KQ. WTF?
SueInCa : Did you see it Scott sitting with Dems?
MurphTheSurf3 : Forcing the GOP to their feet….they hate it…..
KQµårk 死神 : Gotta pander to Israel CHECK!
Chernynkaya : I would LOVE to see any of those asshats just TRY to debate Obama. They’re not fit to share a stage with him and he’d wipe the floor with any of them.
MurphTheSurf3 : Israel…ironcla d commitment….bu t, but, but.
AdLib : Escrib – Nailed it!
escribacat : KQ — they need to hear a joke against a gay soldier before they’ll cheer.
AdLib : McCain was humming a familiar Beach Boys song.
SallyT : KQ, so true!
KQµårk 死神 : Always the biggest cheer from the GOP is the thought of bombing someone.
foodchain : Oh and Joe the patoot Lie berman
bito : hodgman @hodgman Obama is running for president against congress, and frankly, congress is as strong a candidate as Herman Cain.
SueInCa : Hillary has a major job and she is doing it well
foodchain : Hillary is not tired, she’s unhappy
MurphTheSurf3 : AND now Iran….are there any GOP candidate talking points left.
AdLib : Hillary has been a champ at SoS!
Chernynkaya : I bet she is, AB.
SallyT : She has travel a lot more miles than us, Cher. Literally
foodchain : No Cher, Hillary is stagnant, we are not
AdLib : Gaddafi and Bin Laden gone and Assad on the way out.
Chernynkaya : AL–so true!
AlphaBitch : Cher: she’s tired of AGF
MurphTheSurf3 : Ad Lib…disengaged moderates who want more from Obama without giving a shit themselves
escribacat : You nailed it adlib. Los Obliviosos.
Chernynkaya : Wow, Hillary looks old. And I’M old.
SallyT : And we did all that with fewer ships, Newt!
AdLib : McConnell won’t applaud on acting together. Man, who doesn’t understand what is going on in DC? I know, the disengaged moderates who are watching a Real Houswives rerun right now.
MurphTheSurf3 : Nancy P….the once and future speaker?
Chernynkaya : He;s showing the differences without being partisan and that ain’t easy!
Chernynkaya : «link»
AdLib : Obama the uniter, Republicans, the dividers. So clear. And brilliant, forcing the Repubs to applaud on the Lincoln quote about limited government.
Chernynkaya : Eric Canter haz a sad:
bito : Debbie Stabenow @stabenow If we want an economy that’s built to last, we need to make things here and grow things here. #SOTU
AlphaBitch : Souther4n baggers on their webbed feet.
MurphTheSurf3 : Lincoln could, would never be GOP today.
AdLib : Asking for democracy from Repubs, to allow majority votes? It’s an outrage!
AdLib : Stop Congress from owning stocks in businesses they affect. Boehner isn’t happy, he owns stock in the pipeline.
foodchain : Boehner is really getting restless!!!
AlphaBitch : Jack Daniels, I’m sure
Chernynkaya : Smart: DCCC: “Want to defeat the Republicans sitting on their hands right now? So do we.”
escribacat : How about no path to K street
foodchain : I wonder what Mitch Daniels is thinking about now
bito : Black Canseco @BlackCanseco Reply Retweet Favorite · Open Shorter Obama: You can take the country back, but take a few of these slugs with you. #SOTU
AdLib : He’s nailing the public’s dissatisfaction with Congress and government, that is clever!
SueInCa : Yeah Repubs that is HOW a LEADER speaks
MurphTheSurf3 : The Debt Limit….every minefield crossed….he is really going for it.
foodchain : We are a welfare state. The poor and middle support the rich. The trickle up
Chernynkaya : This is like one epic rebuttal to all the GOP screeching points.
AdLib : Nope, no Repubs applaud “An America built to last.” They plan on cashing out and moving to Switzerland after they collapse America’s economy for good.
AdLib : A good primer for the uninitiated on the “class warfare” BS.
foodchain : ! We support the wealthy
Chernynkaya : He’s responding to Mitt, of course.
MurphTheSurf3 : BOY….he is naming ALL of their code words: Class Warfare, envy the rich
SueInCa : oh shit he is opening the whole bag class warfare
Chernynkaya : Most Americans DO agree. ALL the polls say so.
foodchain : Great dismissal of class welfare
foodchain : Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah good bye–Cantor, Boehner,
AdLib : Boehner didn’t applaud paying his fair share of taxes. UnAmerican, yes?
KQµårk 死神 : Cher you can’t help but hate them I tried.
Chernynkaya : YES-FAIR taxes. Wonder who he means?
escribacat : All the GOPers I know do nothing but whine whine whine about paying taxes.
MurphTheSurf3 : Drawing a bead on the one percent…..and the laws that make them what they are.
SueInCa : Murph if I was his wife well I wouldn;t be his wife
AdLib : Here comes the wind up for slamming the 1% and Mitt!
foodchain : I hate hating, but I love hating this GOP
Chernynkaya : Canter smells like after you vomit.
AdLib : A very pained smile from Cantor. Good.
SueInCa : Tomorrow they wil be back to being assholes
Chernynkaya : OK, I get it: Let the public see who’s obstructing all this great stuff. I hate them.
MurphTheSurf3 : McConnell is the personification of sour milk
AlphaBitch : Rut ro – Can’t -er had to clap. Yikes for him.
AdLib : Pay your taxes 1% or will Bush Tax Raise you!
foodchain : No more bail outs!! Now that’s a message
Chernynkaya : Whyare they panning to Canter?
AdLib : Yes, prosecute the banks and Wall Street…in a way Holder seems unable to do so.
Chernynkaya : AG Holder will prosecute?? Did he say that?? OMG.
MurphTheSurf3 : THE CONSUMER PROTECTION AGENCY….rubbin g the GOP noses in it.
SueInCa : Even better AL either way they would save the money in the long run
AdLib : Sue – The plan is: $3,000 tax credit to homeowners to refinance, so, making it no cost. Then getting today’s rate and saving hundreds or a thousand or more per month. That would turbo charge the economy, to put hundreds a month in millions of homeowners pockets.
SueInCa : If I was In NY I would apply
KQµårk 死神 : WOOOOT!!!
escribacat : He’s kinda cute
SueInCa : RICHARD CORDREY
Chernynkaya : Cordray! HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENT.
SallyT : A living will? Obama is going to kill Grandma’s bank!
SueInCa : Banks are running around crZy now oh no oh no
MurphTheSurf3 : A litany of “I will not go back to….” Things are better now.
foodchain : with you Bito
Chernynkaya : AL, I didn’t hear that part.
SallyT : Glad it is going away!
SueInCa : AL the homeowner will make it back in a NY minute with lower payments
SallyT : That was big Agri getting that passed in the first place to put the small dairy out of business trying to meet it.
KQµårk 死神 : Prime example of Obama political jujitsu.
bito : I love this President, I love this speech, sick it Mitt Newt!
AdLib : Cher – $3000 to cover bank costs to take out a lower rate loan which should save hundreds if not more per month per homeowner, thousands a year, year in and out.
MurphTheSurf3 : Groan…….spil led milk….lame
AlphaBitch : Do I clap or not if he passed fewer regs?? So hard to tell for the baggers.
SueInCa : Private Equity Cat
escribacat : Ew.
Chernynkaya : Sorry AL. But seriously, $3000?
SueInCa : Maybe that impending PE bubble about to burst has got him worried
AdLib : Cher…there ya go…
foodchain : Let’s build this nation!
Chernynkaya : There’s the campaign line.
Chernynkaya : More on mortgages, please.
AdLib : Tim is confused, “I thought we just GIVE money to banks…”
KQµårk 死神 : ‘repay deficit of trust’ great line.
escribacat : Tim seems very troubled.
Chernynkaya : $3000 a year is really nothing.
SueInCa : Food I am thankful every day
Chernynkaya : He just slipped in another perk for manufacturers going green.
bito : Chernynkaya : Love @Jordan Ashby. -+—So do I
AdLib : It is The Republicans who don’t believe in America. They don’t believe that investing in America’s future would pay off in greater tax revenues to pay down the deficit.
foodchain : Sue, Saw it in May, beautiful sport you have
MurphTheSurf3 : GOP MANTRA….Nooooo oooooooooooooooo oNopeNopeNopeNop eNotNotNot
AlphaBitch : SCORE!
AlphaBitch : To quote Austin Powers: Way!

MurphTheSurf3 : I sent the Obama campaign a donation tonight and dedicated it to Cantor

AlphaBitch : now there’s a sticker: Newt’s Nuts.
Chernynkaya : And plus, she seems so upbeat, even tho I’m sure there were many tears along the way.Me? I’d probably just vegetate and whine.
bito : Chris @ceut So, Scalia & Alito aren’t there. That doesn’t look too partisan, eh?
escribacat : Adlib — no, the goonie woman at the McCain rally in 2008
escribacat : KO and Eliot Spitz say Obama is channelling OWS tonight
AdLib : Escrib – You mean the nut at a Newt rally?
AdLib : Cher – Can’t imagine what she’s fought through to get back as far as she has already!
AlphaBitch : Pretty is as pretty does, AdLib. i want to be both.
escribacat : I wonder if that pillow headed woman will make another appearance during this years campaign. The one who called Obama an “Arab.”
Chernynkaya : Me too, AL. She’s got an unbelievable spirit! She really is remarkable.
AlphaBitch : Look! The good Rice!
AdLib : Bito – What, no mention of Food stamps?
MurphTheSurf3 : Matthews….the GOP has not been a loyal opposition which means they are a disloyal opposition….wh ich they are.

bito : Sample of what president will mention tonight: Jobs: 33x; Taxes: 8, Energy: 23, Oil: 10, Solar: 1, Iran: 4, Education: 8 #SOTU
Chernynkaya : I think she’s just too busy to keep up another hairstyle.

AlphaBitch : cat – i like her old ‘dos. Much more flattering.
Chernynkaya : AB–now that’s some cowlick!
escribacat : Hillary is reverting back to her early hair-dos, she got so much shit for that
AdLib : Rachel says Daniels’ response is “pugnacious”.
Chernynkaya : AL–OOOOOH! Nice!
AlphaBitch : Cher – so do I. As big as Texas.

AlphaBitch : Good one, AdLib!
Chernynkaya : gee, Hillary has a cowlick.
AdLib : AB – Since they are all-asshole, they would be probed like no others.

MurphTheSurf3 : Ad Lib…they are aliens
foodchain : Michelle is gorgeous, and I’m glad she feels the love
escribacat : Adlib, missed the SCOTUS members not attending. All the extremists?
AlphaBitch : Only if they are probed.
AdLib : You know what I mean.
AdLib : Wouldn’t it be just awful if the 4 SCOTUS members not attending get abducted by aliens instead?
foodchain : I’m trying not to have ill feelings about Mark Kirk who comes here and talks nice and then votes naughty.
KQµårk 死神 : The SOTUA is in the Constitution. It’s kinda fitting 4 SCOTUS members don’t show up.

AdLib : Here’s what Obama said about CU in the last SOTU that the SCORUS was insulted by, “Last week, the Supreme Court reversed a century of law to open the floodgates for special interests — including foreign companies — to spend without limit in our elections,” Now, was he right or was he right and how wrong do the 5 F%*#*“Last week, the Supreme Court reversed a century of law to open the floodgates for special interests — including foreign companies — to spend without limit in our elections,” Now how right does Obama look and how wrong do the 5 F$#!heads look?
Chernynkaya : Sally, she does!
KQµårk 死神 : The worse part Cher is it shows domestic terrorism works because she will probably be replaced with a right winger.
AlphaBitch : I’m a shoe thrower, so hitting Scalia upside the head with a shoe would make me smile.
SallyT : She does look great!
foodchain : AB, love to see the President mouth “you’re wrong” or “behave”
Chernynkaya : I still cry watching Gabby’s video saying she won’t run.
AlphaBitch : Gabby!
Chernynkaya : If anyone reads the transcript, please don’t tell me. I want to hear it first.

AdLib : Thanks Bito!
bito : Read along:Remarks by the President in State of Union Address «link»
AlphaBitch : I’d look at Scalia and Roberts and Thomas and Alito and just tell them “you’re fired”. Trump ’em.
Chernynkaya : KQ-yep, saw that. I’m sorry, Jobs was a dick!
AdLib : Cher – Much as I’d like him to pound them, I think he should just continue on and let them soil themselves…as they do.

Chernynkaya : What should Obama do if the Baggers boo?
AdLib : KQ – I sure do know the scorpion story, that’s what the Baggers have done to the GOP…and are doing by supporting Newt. It’s their nature.
Chernynkaya : That’s funny AL! Maybe we’re related.
AlphaBitch : Gots to gets the slippers out to throw at the teevee when they piss me off!
AdLib : Cher – That is exactly how I think of Lieberman!
KQµårk 死神 : You know the scorpion story AdLib sure they will.
AdLib : Maybe Baggers will boo Obama?
bito : Working America @WorkingAmerica Obama will announce special unit to investigate misconduct & illegalities that contributed to mortgage crisis.
Chernynkaya : Lieberman is like so many of my old uncles who give me wet, stinky garlic kisses. Only Joe is even worse.
AdLib : Any bets, will a Republican yell out at him or do some other rude thing tonight?
AdLib : I wonder if Joe Lieberman will kiss Obama?
AlphaBitch : Who’s counting?
Chernynkaya : GABBY! God, I love her so much. That video broke my heart.
MurphTheSurf3 : Bubbly, sparkly effervescent conversation.
SallyT : AdLib, except for street Walkers.

MurphTheSurf3 : Sally….almost spit out my fresca….room the laptop closer
foodchain : Cher, repulsive WITH followers is depressing
Chernynkaya : Sally!! HAHAHA!

SallyT : KQ, move the laptop closer.
KQµårk 死神 : Is there a way to zoom the chat?
MurphTheSurf3 : Ad Lib….oh! Well at least he is focusing on what really counts.
SallyT : AdLib, I don’t think Boenher looks at himself much.
AdLib : 18 minutes to go!
AlphaBitch : Boehner: a member of the lucky sperm club.
AdLib : I mean the House!
foodchain : Boehner running the barely American thing. Daffy Duck!
AdLib : Murph – That was a dig at Barney Frank for coming into the senate one day in casual dress.
Chernynkaya : Boehner is pathetic. He really is. What a lame loser.
SallyT : I have had sex with a Repub. It wasn’t anything to shoot about!
AdLib : Sally – Does Boehner realize he looks like a spineless loser?
MurphTheSurf3 : Did anyone catch Boehner reminding the members to dress appropriately tonight? Did anyone catch what that was all about?
AlphaBitch : Cat: I might have. I drank a lot and went to A&M around the same time as Perry. I also crashed a ROTC dorm and beat up a smart ass. In my memory, it was Perry (not in reality)
escribacat : Adlib — maybe I did and just forgot about it
SallyT : Does Boehner realize he might have just given Gingrich more votes?
AdLib : Escribacat – Even those who have had sex with Republicans aren’t sure that they have.
KQµårk 死神 : That’s a reason for Repugs to vote for Newt AB.
Chernynkaya : When Hubster gets back form walking the dog, he’s going to want to turn on the TV. I may have to switch to that feed then.
AdLib : Mrs. Greenspan always looks surprised that she and hubby haven’t been ridden out of the US on a rail, a surprised look on her face that she’s still on the air.
KQµårk 死神 :
AlphaBitch : WHA??? Boehner said he would not be speaker if Gingrich gets the nom???? Did anyone hear that?
escribacat : Racy comment of the evening: I don’t think I’ve ever had sex with a republican.
KQµårk 死神 : She wants a three way with Mittens.
SueInCa : ok I will try that Adlib
MurphTheSurf3 : Ad Lib ARROW BUTTON WILL BE JAMMED……..Da niels loves to stretch the truth…..like his State of the State where he said states that have right to work lies have more employment WHEN every state with those laws is having terrible unemployment problems like SC.
AlphaBitch : Cat:” I did.
Chernynkaya : It was fantastic!
AdLib : Mrs. Greenspan is on MSNBC. She called Daniels’ a “smart choice” for the GOP response. Shaddup and kick your husband for me.
SallyT : Oh, KQ, you gal Andera is on MSNBC.
escribacat : He was pretty worked up
AlphaBitch : I think Wild World by the artist formerly known as Cat Stevens. Could re-up the Obama is a Muslim thing a notch.
escribacat : Did anyone catch Jon Stewarts imitation of King vs Gingrich last night?
SallyT : Me, too!
AdLib : Sue – Clear your cache, close and restart your browser and all should be fine.
escribacat : I want Colbert!
SallyT : Is it Cain giving the speach for the TP or Colbert?’
foodchain : Cain is too funny, kinda expect Colbert to be with him
AdLib : Just want to remind those who weren’t here earlier, please note and try out the arrow button just above the chat display box, to use during Daniels’ response speech, when appropriate.
escribacat : Sue — I had some trouble but restarted Firefox and it’s ok
MurphTheSurf3 : Sue….yes. I am happy. I really detest her. Really.
Chernynkaya : E’Cat–Cain is giving the Bagger response.
escribacat : Poor ole Cain.
MurphTheSurf3 : Escribicat….ye p Cain but no network is running his rebuttal.
KQµårk 死神 : He vigorously argued for a progressive tax code like Britain does have.
SueInCa : This is not working for me not sure what is wrong I will try later
AdLib : AB – Maybe he could close with “My Way”?
SallyT : AB, how about “Down in the boondocks”
escribacat : I suppose he’ll be better than Mr. Rogers.
KQµårk 死神 : As I posted on the TO/OT today even Adam Smith would be called a Socialist by the GOP today.
MurphTheSurf3 : The “Daniels is our FailSafe” movement is getting support tonight with his place as the GOP SOTU responder.
escribacat : Murph — did you say CAIN is giving the response?
SueInCa : Murph really on Bachman? Good news
Chernynkaya : Murph, that’s the upside. And none of the networks are airing Cain.
AlphaBitch : Wouldn’t it be cool if he started with a little song? Like “I Am A Patriot” or “Let’s NOT Stay Together”
SallyT : KQ, I think that is the problem in their thinking.
AdLib : KQ – Taxes have been engineered for inequality, they’re not supposed to be used to create fairness, didn’t you get the memo?
AlphaBitch : Cat: There is strength in numbers.
SueInCa : Murph I will watch later Mitt cannot be very interesting
MurphTheSurf3 : Sidenote: the run for the presidency appears to have cost Michelle Bachmann her place in the GOTP sun. She is broke, will likely not run for reelection and Cain is giving the TP response to SOTU tonight.
Chernynkaya : ezraklein “My fellow Americans, the state of our union is…kind of meh. I mean, look around.” #stuffobamawonts ay
escribacat : Adlib — yes, that’s why I’m here. For some sanity checks.
KQµårk 死神 : This idiot Republican on MSNBC said taxes are not suppose to address income inequality. WTF?!
SallyT : AdLib maybe not self depot but I am sure Obama will address the tax rate!
AdLib : Consider the SOTU a theraputic session for most sane Americans.
Chernynkaya : E’cat, I said the same earlier.
AlphaBitch : 666. The mark of the republicans.
escribacat : I’m suffering from PTSD from too many GOPer debates
SallyT : Ys you fine, Escrib
KQµårk 死神 : I took a nap so hopefully I won’t fall asleep at this event.
escribacat : 999 !!!
SallyT : 456 Escrib
Chernynkaya : Heh. Yeah, he should remind us that Grandpa Romney self-deported his family to Mexico.
KQµårk 死神 : Hello!?
escribacat : testing 123
AdLib : Hey Patsy! Very cool, thanks!
AdLib : My question is will Pres. Obama address the Self-Deportation issue?
PatsyT : Hope to see you guys when things get going… I am posting this link on fb and twitter
Chernynkaya : Foodchain-Hi!
AdLib : Hey Foodchain!
AdLib : AB – I have relatives in TX, one is a hard core Repub and busting his chops over Perry is so sweet!
Chernynkaya : Damn–where’s the SOTU already?!
SallyT : Okay, “a lot” was too much. But, he will need votes from the south.
foodchain : found it! lol
AdLib : I take a nap during each GOP debate.
Chernynkaya : Hey E’cat!
KQµårk 死神 : Hello!
AlphaBitch : I promise to do all I can to remind Texans of how BADLY Perry embarrassed them, in hopes it shames them into staying home.
Chernynkaya : KQ–I took a nap earlier! I have a long night ahead.
AdLib : Hey KQ!
KQµårk 死神 : Hey gang! I took a nap this time before the event.
SallyT : AdLib, you really think that the north can win it for him alone?
AdLib : Sally – Obama only needs two Southern states, if he gets two out of FL, VA or NC he’s okay.
Chernynkaya : I refreshed. Is the Twitter widget bigger now?
AlphaBitch : Food? where you at?
MurphTheSurf3 : Did anyone see the Romney prebuttal at the National Gypsum Plant outside of Tampa? Generally awful.
AdLib : Hey Escrib!
AlphaBitch : Cat!
AdLib : Sally – That’s not true.
escribacat : Hi folks!!
SallyT : Obama is going to need a lot of the south. The north can’t win it for him alone.
Chernynkaya : AB you’re right. Hubby always says how glad he is at the buyers’ remorse he sees in so many states–serves them right!
MurphTheSurf3 : Hey Sue of the West Coast….
SueInCa : Hey Murph
MurphTheSurf3 : Here I am. It has been a hot day in the political swamp.
SueInCa : Refresh your screen Cher I got it today, Bito got it yesterday
AlphaBitch : Cher – it’s the south. That’s all. and their bitterness spreads like a virus – I think it’s the inbreeding, personally. Think Deliverance. But those who buy that load often regret it – think WI.
AdLib : Murph – You can go to the Live Events page now, same chat there: «link»
Chernynkaya : What new Twitter format?
MurphTheSurf3 : Are you all going over to the Live Events Page when the show begins. What is the difference between that page and the widget here. Will the be carrying the same comments?
SueInCa : Looks like they are building a news feed
Chernynkaya : Don’t get me wrong–I believe Obama will win. Just saying that even 30% of the vote going to these disgusting and EVIL candidates is a sign of disease.
AdLib : Sue – It’s different but I don’t mind the new Twitter format.
AdLib : I think that Obama will win by a comparable landslide for Presidential elections. That’s typically more than 4% and I think Obama could win by 6%.
SallyT : AB, never thought you were. I know most is in fun. Just like I don’t look at porn. I don’t, really! I do take pain meds but don’t drink. I did like to drink but the meds are just to much with it.
SueInCa : Hey Adlib I like that new format for Twitter
Chernynkaya : AdLib, that actually makes me feel better! Yeah, most don’t vote at all.
SueInCa : Cher in the end the Independents are not going to climb on to the clown car en masse
AlphaBitch : Sally – I kid. I’m a light drinker – only a couple of times a year (or when spurred on by “values”, and I’m allergic to opiates,which cuts down on drug use. so it’s sober and sad, or goofy and Planet.
AdLib : Cher – Keep in mind that there are a disproportionate number of people in the extremes that vote. Many moderates just whine and don’t vote. If all adult Americans voted, Obama would win by a landslide.
Chernynkaya : Sue, Paulites are actually more robotic. They are cultists.
SueInCa : Cher Ron Paulies are like that too, Romulans
SallyT : AB, I have Vicodin but don’t take it with Vodka. Makes one drink like 3. However makes you a cheap date!
AdLib : Cher – It’s an all or nothing mentality. For these lemmings, they support any Repub 100% who toes the line they toe. No reason, no critical thinking, just mindless adherence and loyalty.
Chernynkaya : But AdLib, for that to be true, Obama would have to win in a landslide. And he won’t win by a landslide. (Sorry to be such a downer!)
AlphaBitch : IF so, then I MIGHT be a Repub. I need pain meds, too. Oh wait – I use wodka!
Chernynkaya : That’s what gets me most, Sally–not that there are repulsive candidates, but that they have so many followers. That truly demoralizes me. How can there be so many avid assholes? I was thinking today about repealing ACA. Who in their right mind would want unavoidable, bankrupting insurance??
AdLib : The Repubs take Oxycontins hours before having to watch another GOP debate.
AlphaBitch : Shall we true confess some of more embarrassing experiences?
AdLib : Cher – It is a bit deceptive to see these asses publicized as representing the GOP and they only represent the ass contingency which is a minority in total but a potential majority in primaries.
SallyT : Cher, I am with you. I set there and listen and think, “There are people, too many, out there that really go for what these jerks are saying!” Worries me big time.
AlphaBitch : What to do until then? Are the Repubs this excited when the clown circus starts to jabber?
Chernynkaya : AB we need you too!
Chernynkaya : No worries, Sue!
SueInCa : Cher I will try to find it and get a link to you prob tomorrow K?
Chernynkaya : AdLib, true. But it’s hard to remember that most of the country is not comprised of these evil retards.
AdLib : AB – And vice-versa, it wouldn’t be the same without you!
SueInCa : I hear you AB
AdLib : How can Obama not stand out and look Presidential and cement the impression of Romney and Newt as small men, in dealing with substance and issues that help the public?
AlphaBitch : I could not make it through this w/o you guys. For real.
Chernynkaya : Sue, got a link? Did it say Civil War?
AdLib : Cher – I am a bit fed up but the more we watch and cover these debates, the more ammo we’ll have in the GE. We should be giving hazard pay for covering all these insane debates though!
SueInCa : Cher I read a story that actually said that on WAPO today
SueInCa : Cool I found it
Chernynkaya : I honestly don’t think I can tolerate any more Repub bullshit. I have had more than enough. It’s become worse as the days go by. I won’t be surprised if they use the N word at the next debate. It’s a friggen civil war already.
AdLib : Sue – Click here to go to the full screen (you can also click on Live Events in the menu at the top of the screen) «link»
SueInCa : Adlib can we access the bigger screen tonite?
AdLib : Okay Bito, thanks for all your great work covering Twitter for The Planet!
AdLib : I expect Daniels to be hip deep in the BS.
bito : Way too much for me to follow, Adlib.
SueInCa : Bito I am going to go back and forth
Chernynkaya : bito–Represent!
AdLib : Bito – Pop in when you can!
SueInCa : Warning Bullshitter Alert
Chernynkaya : AWESPOME!!
bito : This is way too much for little old lap top. I will be at om the other page and following our twitter.
AdLib : Cher – Yep, give it a try!
SueInCa : AB that is why I am pushing you LOL I saw it too
Chernynkaya : I just noticed this:”Click the arrow below during Mitch Daniels’ response to the SOTU when you believe he is not being forthright” Is the aroow that icon next to the sound icon?
SueInCa : I saw that and I am gonna play
AlphaBitch : Sue, querida! I saw him looking at the decanter like set in front of him last year, and lick his lips.
AdLib : I invite you to check out the arrow button just above the chat display…to address Mitch Daniels’ response when appropriate.
SueInCa : AB go ahead I wonder if the vodka is in that pitcher?
SueInCa : Adlib Nope they really set the bar low the past three debates
AlphaBitch : Would it be unkind of me to blog a little about Boehner’s thoughts based on his body posture?
AdLib : Sue – Could Obama have had a better set up to his SOTU than the GOP debates???
AdLib : Cher – Yep, I’m not going to peek at it either, no spoilers tonight!
Chernynkaya : Ahhh- much better, thanks!
SueInCa : Adlib I know such ignoramouses
AdLib : Cher – Yes, I just added a new note in the sidebar that you can go to the full chat page by clicking Live Event in the menu at the top of the page, here’s the direct link: «link»
Chernynkaya : The text of the speech is already available, but I’m not going to read it.
Chernynkaya : AdLib, is it possible to reply the way we do on VoxPop-ie with a larger typing/reading area? I’m only able to see the sidebar.
AdLib : I agree Sue about Obama hitting a homer tonight. Especially compared to the GOP braintrust on display.
SueInCa : Thanks Adlib I was refreshing and it looked like it was done
AdLib : Sue – Fixed the dupes, they’ll be gone when you refresh the page. Sorry about that!
AdLib : Cher – Absolutely, if there is another Repub who attacks him in the middle of his speech, he should humiliate him.
SueInCa : oops the site was messing up on me sorry
SueInCa : The President is going to hit a home run while Republicans are still looking for first base
Chernynkaya : I’ve read it could be a barn burner. I think it will make us all very happy. One thing I also read–and agree with–is that IF there is another “You Lie!” outburst, the President should respond to it.
AdLib : Obama getting a lengthy speech to correct the lies and provide a constructive and honest vision for the future will indeed be an antidote to the lies, hatred and insanity we’ve been inundated with.
AdLib : I am so with you on that, Cher!
Chernynkaya : I’ll be here–can’t wait! After listening to the debates from hell for months, I need a palate cleanser.
AdLib : Join us here for a live chat throughout the SOTU and the GOP Response.
AdLib : The SOTU Address begins at 6:00 pm PST/ 9:00 pm EST. Hope to see you then!
AdLib : Welcome to the Live Chat for President Obama’s 2012 State of the Union address!
