As the president began speaking I switched from CBS to NBC - after 10 minutes of inane commentary from Bob Scheiffer and Jan Crawford I couldn't take any more.
It's 9:41 - still no mention of health care? Wtf?
I'm not sure I really get the math on his college tuition proposal.
All in all I'd say it was a strong speech - but the social scientist in me knows that it's not likely to make much of a difference to what goes on in DC.
Gov. McDonnell opens the Republican response with a joke that seems to imply entertainment/sports news is more important than debating public policy - that says so much about the Republican party of today. Oh and now he's praising the slave-holding Jefferson who thought the future of the country should be making us a farming nation. How can you doubt this guy's judgment on economic policy? And apparently government is bad - basically, "I've got mine - the rest of you can suck it."
Republcian policy proposals - they aren't long! Read our pamphlets or look on line for our pithy slogans. They'll solve all your health care problems.
Off-shore oil drilling is the bomb!
We love the troops even more than Democrats! We love war in Afghanistan! We hate law! Errr, we hate laws that apply to terrorist suspects. Scott Brown is the the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life.
Innocent human life must be protected (unless it looks like it might be a terrorist?).
God god god god god god god.
