Obama’s making the most of his last approach for the SOTU. I think this is the only time each year where he really gets “the love” from every Dem in Congress!
AdLib 2 days ago
Took a little work but I finally signed on…whew….would not want to miss this.

Murph – Good to see you! Yes, something funky was happening. Hope it’s all cool now!

Biden still whispering sweet nothings in Ryan’s ear.
AdLib 2 days ago
There is a story sweeping throught the right wing fronts in the last two days that Obama is angling for the post presidential role of….drum roll please…Secretary General of the UN…..nonsense…..and that Netanyahu is trying to block it. Fox promoting it along with the usual suspects.
MurphTheSurf3

I don’t see Justice Scoliosis
escribacat

Ryan is not applauding.
AdLib 2 days ago
Murph – Hmm…don’t know if he would really want that role. Interesting though.
AdLib 2 days ago
escrib – He’s busy pulling the wings off of flies.
AdLib 2 days ago
LOL
escribacat

Ad LIb….he would hate it AND since the Security Council Nominates the person…..imagine Putin being ok with it.
MurphTheSurf3
2 days ago
Murph sounds like a NWO conspiracy theory
escribacat
2 days ago
Murph – Yep, he would never put him self in that kind of position, to be humiliated by Putin or Netanyahu.
AdLib 2 days ago
GOP all sucking lemons!
pinkpantheroz

Ryan’s first SOTU, he’s afraid of nodding or smiling at the wrong time.
AdLib 2 days ago
Ryan=carefully arranged thoughtful expression
escribacat
2 days ago
escrib – He’s not a great actor, very obvious.
AdLib 2 days ago
The GOPer troll wing is already plotting against poor Ryan
escribacat
2 days ago
Escrib – They are biting their tongues until after the election but they’ll explode after that!
AdLib 2 days ago
Bernie!
AdLib 2 days ago
Is he going after Trump et al now?
AdLib 2 days ago
Fear of the future and all?
AdLib 2 days ago
I am liking Bernie more and more. He is running one hell of a good campaign.
MurphTheSurf3
2 days ago
Murph – Hillary is starting to crack as Bernie’s numbers rise. Her hostility isn’t going to win over more voters.
AdLib 2 days ago
As he speaks, imagine Trump giving this speech a year from now.
AdLib 2 days ago
Im-possible.
AdLib 2 days ago
President Trump: “The State of President Trump’s polls is strong! We’re gonna win and win so much, you’ll be sick of it. Thank you!”
AdLib 2 days ago
Will we respond with fear? GOP: Hell YES!
pinkpantheroz
2 days ago
PPO – They’re too afraid to answer that!
AdLib 2 days ago
Rubio does not support fair opportunities for all apparently.
AdLib 2 days ago
Gabby!
AdLib 2 days ago
Grumpy GOPers refuse to clap
escribacat
2 days ago
Hope he’s saving the good stuff for later, this is kind of mild stuff so far.
AdLib 2 days ago
Dems: stand. Repubs: frown.
AdLib 2 days ago
Obama calling out GOP liars on Economy
pinkpantheroz

Paul Ryan looks like he’s in genuine physical pain at hearing a litany of accomplishments.
kesmarn
2 days ago
Hey Kes! Ryan: “The bells, the bells!!!”
AdLib 2 days ago
Quasimodo!! Hey, AdLib!
kesmarn
2 days ago
Exactly!
AdLib 2 days ago
Except Quasimodo was more handsome.
kesmarn
2 days ago
He should have done this SOTU to music, had it play in the background, really shake it up!
AdLib 2 days ago
Ryan seems to be enjoying his first stint on the dais….
MurphTheSurf3
2 days ago
He could have rapped the SOTU address. That would have really irked the GOP.
kesmarn
2 days ago
pinkpantheroz
2 days ago
When he talked about Repubs, he could play the Psycho sountrack. Then when he talked of his accomplishments, he could play the Superman theme.
AdLib 2 days ago
Exactly, Murph!
kesmarn
2 days ago
Rocky Balboa!
pinkpantheroz
2 days ago
Hey, PPO! How’re you feeling these days?
kesmarn
2 days ago
Good one, Mr. Prez!
kesmarn
2 days ago
He looks so young, Murph!
AdLib 2 days ago
BRB!
AdLib 2 days ago
Finest kind, Kes. 2-foot scar on left leg, but at least I still have it!
pinkpantheroz
2 days ago
That’s the important thing, PPO! We have to keep you dancing! Congrats.
kesmarn
2 days ago
Biden still has that million watt smile.
kesmarn
2 days ago
Like that tie Alan Grayson.
kesmarn
2 days ago
Bernie has had a real influence on political dialogue.
kesmarn
2 days ago
Compare Obama to Trump…..imagine Trump there right now.
MurphTheSurf3
2 days ago
Money! Finally the GOP woke up.
kesmarn
2 days ago
Hooly crap! the GOP are applauding!
pinkpantheroz
2 days ago
$$$$$$$$$$$$$, PPO.
kesmarn
2 days ago
Are they smiling now?
pinkpantheroz
2 days ago
That needed to be said. Food stamp recipients didn’t cause the financial crisis…
kesmarn
2 days ago
Sorry, jarring note – Too staged, this standing ovation biz
pinkpantheroz
2 days ago
There are times when they look as though the standing is compulsory, PPO.
kesmarn
2 days ago
Great line about sputnik
escribacat
2 days ago
Did he say that one thing we didn’t do was deny the Russians were up there? I missed part of the line, e’cat.
kesmarn
2 days ago
kes yes
escribacat
2 days ago
YAY, Joe!
kesmarn
2 days ago
Great move.
kesmarn
2 days ago
Obama surprised Biden…in charge of mission control…cancer research…his son!
MurphTheSurf3
2 days ago
Not sure it was a surprise, but it was the perfect task for Joe right now.
kesmarn
2 days ago
As he chats, he is laying out the outline for his legacy….
MurphTheSurf3
2 days ago
He’s sure not sounding like a lame duck.
kesmarn
2 days ago
GOPers won’t even clap about cutting pollution
escribacat
2 days ago
Or wiping out cancer. Sheesh.
kesmarn
2 days ago
Lame Duck…no way….
MurphTheSurf3
2 days ago
True Kes. The challenge is there for the GOP.
pinkpantheroz
2 days ago
Perfect, Murph. The Mighty Duck.
kesmarn
2 days ago
This is a real Fireside Chat. Get rid of the fear mongering.
kesmarn
2 days ago
Because we have a leader, “they call us.”
kesmarn
2 days ago
Check out those gloomy generals: We want more billions!!
escribacat
2 days ago
They call us….they called YOU, Barack!
MurphTheSurf3
2 days ago
They perked up at the “finest fighting force in the history of the world” part though, e’cat.
kesmarn
2 days ago
kes, what a crusty bunch of ….. ughs
escribacat
2 days ago
Kes and SCat – they have to applaud their troops.
MurphTheSurf3
2 days ago
They do look pretty dour, don’t they?
kesmarn
2 days ago
The generals always do…..like the Justices….
MurphTheSurf3
2 days ago
They do, Murph.
kesmarn
2 days ago
I guess Trumpie wasn’t invited
escribacat
2 days ago
And yet a lot of this speech is anti-Trump, dontcha think?
kesmarn
2 days ago
Obama is making many good points.
MurphTheSurf3
2 days ago
Beautifully subtle kicks to Trump’s nuts!
pinkpantheroz
2 days ago
PPO…..Donaldnuts!
MurphTheSurf3
2 days ago
I mean anti-his “we’re losing” theme. “All around the world we’re losing!” Obama is saying: “BS!!!”
kesmarn
2 days ago
Good point. The GOP talks a lot of trash, but they won’t even vote to use force.
kesmarn
2 days ago
Authorize the use of force in Congress….novel idea! HaH!
MurphTheSurf3
2 days ago
Oooooh, good ones!
pinkpantheroz
2 days ago
The GOP looks SO bad right now.
MurphTheSurf3
2 days ago
I can’t imagine what boloney they’re going to pull out in their rebuttal.
kesmarn
2 days ago
Nikki Haley has the rebuttal and she is impressive as a politician
MurphTheSurf3
2 days ago
Well, she’s less crazy than many of them…
kesmarn
2 days ago
Kes….she seems so but her policies are every bit as nasty.
MurphTheSurf3
2 days ago
Cuba!
pinkpantheroz
2 days ago
I believe it, Murph. Kasich is like that. A veneer of sanity and a wicked agenda underneath.
kesmarn
2 days ago
Reject any policy that targets people based on race or religiion….pretty widespread applause…including Ryan
MurphTheSurf3
2 days ago
Another anti-Trump statement. Good for him.
kesmarn
2 days ago
Truth will prevail. Go away Trump!
pinkpantheroz
2 days ago
Someone on FB commented that all the GOPers who are looking at their electronic devices are looking at nude pix of Trump’s wife.
kesmarn
2 days ago
POTUS appealing to the GOP to do the right thing. Faint hope at least
pinkpantheroz
2 days ago
That’s always been his weakness. He thinks they have some rationality to be appealed to. They don’t.
kesmarn
2 days ago
Oh Lordie – Vinegar Tits in the audience!
pinkpantheroz
2 days ago
ugh that homophobic bigot davis
escribacat
2 days ago
Why he blames himself in any way for bipartisan rancor is beyond me.
kesmarn
2 days ago
Obama at his most sincere….bridging the gap between the parties…I wish I could have done better….I am going to keep trying…
MurphTheSurf3
2 days ago
we never hear GOPers extending olive branches the way he does over and over
escribacat
2 days ago
Never, e’cat.
kesmarn
2 days ago
Good. End gerrymandering.
kesmarn
2 days ago
Gerrymander out!
pinkpantheroz
2 days ago
Joe standing up for that one.
kesmarn
2 days ago
FLOTUS standing up for ending voter suppression!
kesmarn
2 days ago
Kill citizens United
pinkpantheroz
2 days ago
Yes, PPO!
kesmarn
2 days ago
He is naming Tribalism as destructive to our entire notion of progress.
MurphTheSurf3
2 days ago
And it really is. Not just here but around the world, Murph.
kesmarn
2 days ago
What a speech, what a man.
pinkpantheroz
2 days ago
ppo no kidding
escribacat
2 days ago
He’s calling for our better selves..which totally confuses Repubs.
AdLib 2 days ago
Something Lincolnesque and FDRish about this….
MurphTheSurf3
2 days ago
It’s tough to appeal for rationality to irrational people, or for compassion from the heartless.
kesmarn
2 days ago
This kind of call for people to be their better selves is reaching out to a majority of Americans. And it is a majority that is all that’s needed.
AdLib 2 days ago
In 2007 I met Obama in SC when he was a nobody going no where…..no supporters, no crowds, no signs, no buttons, plannng to spend 2007 and 2008 getting known in prepartion for 2012 or 2016….AND then lighning struck…..I spent nearly 2 years working for his election….and here we are. So Proud..
MurphTheSurf3
2 days ago
Walk on, Walk on, with hope in your heart and you’ll never walk alone!
pinkpantheroz
2 days ago
Not many people saw it coming in 2007, Murph!
kesmarn
2 days ago
You should be ever so proud, Murph!
pinkpantheroz
2 days ago
so jealous you’ve met this great man, murph
escribacat
2 days ago
I am a bit teary eyed right now.
MurphTheSurf3
2 days ago
Terrific speech. He spoke right past the GOP to the nation as a whole. Well done.
kesmarn
2 days ago
murph me too!!
escribacat
2 days ago
Unarmed truth and unconditional love….the source of his confidence.
MurphTheSurf3
2 days ago
Wow, such power, such delivery.
pinkpantheroz
2 days ago
No matter who wins in November, we won’t see a President like this very soon.
AdLib 2 days ago
One of the Castro brothers there. We’ll be hearing more from them.
kesmarn
2 days ago
agreed, adlib. I’m going to miss him
escribacat
2 days ago
A great speech from a great man.
escribacat
2 days ago
Ad, for sure – he’s one of a kind. Well, gotta head off to rehab! see you tomorrow!
pinkpantheroz
2 days ago
Keep getting better, PPO!
kesmarn
2 days ago
thanks kes!
pinkpantheroz
2 days ago
Yes Kes, I think a Pres. Castro may be in our future.
AdLib 2 days ago
Best of health PPO
MurphTheSurf3
2 days ago
Certainly a veep possibility there, AdLib.
kesmarn
2 days ago
Veep indeed.
AdLib 2 days ago
So is the GOP response due at 10:30 -ish?
kesmarn
2 days ago
Well, the next SOTU will be by Pres. Sanders or Pres. Clinton.
AdLib 2 days ago
Please, God….!
kesmarn
2 days ago
Better than President Cruz…
AdLib 2 days ago
And Trump will be at The Betty Ford Clinic for the next year.
AdLib 2 days ago
Nice being with you tonight. I need a glass of wine right now.
MurphTheSurf3
2 days ago
Apparently a lot of the last section of the speech was spontaneous/extemperaneous.
MurphTheSurf3
2 days ago
Awesome!
kesmarn
2 days ago
The transcript folks have notes up saying that the “as delivered” speech will differ significantly from the released text.
MurphTheSurf3
2 days ago
Same here Murph!
AdLib 2 days ago
Aw…I thought he should have rapped
AdLib 2 days ago
I’ve heard that there may actually be a case made for Cruz being ineligible to run. I thought he was in the clear, but apparently there’s real debate about whether he’s “natural born.”
kesmarn
2 days ago
Kes….McConnell has announced that the Senate will not consider doing for him what it did for McCain….he is really despised.
MurphTheSurf3
2 days ago
Kes – Lawrence Tribe who teaches Constitutional law at Harvard and taught Cruz says it’s not a settled issue.
AdLib 2 days ago
I’ve read that, Murph. They all hate him.
kesmarn
2 days ago
Yes. Actual Constitutional scholars are saying he may not qualify!
kesmarn
2 days ago
But many in the MSM are saying It’s not a real issue.
AdLib 2 days ago
So Nikki’s tactic is to say that Obama is glib but “feckless”? Sad.
kesmarn
2 days ago
Lame.
AdLib 2 days ago
More hate. More fear. More greed. It’s all they have.
kesmarn
2 days ago
They are such binary thinkers. They set up all or nothing scenarios. Either the borders are open to everyone without exception or closed. Everyone has guns or no one does.
kesmarn
2 days ago
How is Nikki doing…..she is a sharp retail politician…
MurphTheSurf3
2 days ago
Kes – Because binary thinking…isn’t really thinking and that’s what works on their base.
AdLib 2 days ago
Ok….never mind…she is reciting the litany of GOP promises that they have never put any real thought behind or effort into….same old, same old.
MurphTheSurf3
2 days ago
kes — you nailed it. Binary thinkers. “We good, they bad.”
escribacat
2 days ago
Well, she didn’t do anything stupid so she’ll be on the slate next time around.
escribacat
2 days ago
Take care all…see you Friday….
MurphTheSurf3
2 days ago
They’re hyping her for VP.
AdLib 2 days ago
The usual: Only republicans are patriots.
