if bumblefuck says his goal is to lock in his bloated wasteful spendings then Moody’s has to downgrade our failshit little country’s credit rating or lose all credibility I think
Author Prell notes that the researchers called this Phenomenon “the dark side of human nature.” He calls it Personal Underdogma. Whatever name is used, it is a problem that needs a solution because as long as jealous citizens and politicians are willing to sabotage success even at expense to themselves, and thus society, losers will prosper and winners will lose. This can’t be good for any society.

My husband has the booze at hand, ready for the SOTU drinking game.
He’ll be looped half way through, if the text I read of the speech is what O! is saying … I may just nod off even without booze cuz that speech is AWFUL.
It’s like the adults in Peanuts cartoons — whaw WHAW whaw whaw WHAW WHAW ….
Good on ya, then. I’m watching tennis – Australian Open. It’s Australia Day. Plus I prefer synchronized head swivels. I’m kinda funny that way – more tea party less bumbling fool.
This photo, taken moments ago, is of the students, parents, teachers, and policymavens — and newly elevated cardinal of Washington, D.C. — sitting in the Speaker’s Opportunity Box tonight:
From a White House pool report, on the day of his State of the Union President Obama was seen heading for a lunch with TV anchors and pundits, including Chris Matthews, Wolf Blitzer, Diane Sawyer, Brian Williams, and George Stephanopoulos.

This I increased discretionary spending by 84 percent and now want a freeze bullshit is such bullshit. Health insurance reform will fix it all, economist say repealing it will increase deficit. LIE. med mal reform, guaranteed that will never pass his lips again.
And Korea? You mean where we basically have strong-armed the ROK behind the scenes to go back to the table with the Norks, and have essentially caved on restarting the 6 nation talks; which means the Norks will get paid for their temper tantrum after all.
Courtesy of “resetting” our relationship with the Chi-coms, and “restoring” our standing in the world…
WTF!?!?! is he talking about somewhere else! HERE 95% of the newspapers won’t print a story that the left doesn’t think fits The Narrative™ nor any broadcast medium…
Thank God he’s done palavering. Now we’ll hear the swooning of the punditocracy…
There’s a lot to call BS on in his speech, and a lot that while I’d agree with, I’m skeptical he actually means…
Especially the lefty meme he repeated about “Obamacare being law of the land!”, and while it may need tweaking is a fait accompli, meaning repeal is just crazy talk that reasonable people don’t engage in and is completely out of the question…
The light rail for a majority of Americans is worthless also; a public works boondoggle that will work well in other, more compact, societies where freedom of movement by individual means is not as ingrained as here.
Overall? It’s like the elections never happened last November! He mouthed the same BS he did last year. On balance, partisanship aside, I didn’t think it was all that great a speech.
80% clean energy is the goal…Now it’s no longer just renewable energy, but specifically clean…
“Sputnik moment” is ironic indeed, coming from the President that effectively killed the manned space program; which, by the way, has been one of the lefty wishes from way back. Recall Jesse-the-J and other professional agitators continually bemoaning the money going to the stars when it shoudl be going to the inner city.
I never expected Obama to genuinely shift to the center, but I did expect a more significant feint in that direction than we’ve seen tonight. Sure, the president’s used patriotic language to justify his spending plans. He’s even made non-committal remarks about being willing to look at medical malpractice reform and such. Oh yes, he’s called for ROTC to return to elite campuses. But that’s about it. This is the same Obama as ever. The emphasis is almost entirely on spending, investment, call it what you will. Not only is the substance unchanged, the rhetoric hasn’t shifted much either. There’s certainly nothing here like “The era of big government is over.” If this speech is any indication, tonight’s politeness on the part of the president and his audience notwithstanding, we’re in for a battle over big versus smaller government from the get-go. I repeat: Where is the shift to the center?
Wife came home and reminded me to put the trash out front. We must be having important people over for a visit. I hear that’s how you welcome people you want to impress!
He lies to you, to your face. You know that he lies to you. He knows, that you know, that he lies to you. You know, that he knows, that you know, that he lies to you.
And yet you are to willingly talk, to behave, as if those lies are truth, whole truth, nothing but the truth. That is the power that fills his aching need. And by that you demonstrate that you are his property, his toy, his slave. Chrissy, Stephie, Jakey, Johnny Mac, Colin, et al.
You are not his puppies, his lapdogs. Dogs, hell all animals have more self respect. Only humans will degrade themselves to willingly become enslaved. Obama may be in the gutter but you are the sludge he crawls upon.
Did he actually say he wanted high speed rail for 80% of Americans? Jeff G mentioned that earlier and I thought he was kidding because of the absurdity of the statement but given the absurdity of most of the speech….
Has it really only been two years since this jug-eared fuck took office? It feels like fifty.
if bumblefuck says his goal is to lock in his bloated wasteful spendings then Moody’s has to downgrade our failshit little country’s credit rating or lose all credibility I think
i want a paul ryan and michelle bachmann open thread too.
m.levin says barry soetoro will give a fidel length speech
Abe, that’s because of the Welcome Back, Carter (on steroids) feel to this administration.
Moody’s isn’t big enough for both credibility and Mark Zandi.
They made their choice.
that is troof Mr. bh but they sell these ratings thingies for money and if they say America is a good credit risk then that’s fraud
I can do that.
A word? Who needs a word? All you need to know is this:
This.
Stupid internet.

newrouter,
A media talking points memo, indeed. Delivered directly by their boss…

what happens if teleprompter fails?
Comedy gold, newrouter.
=^D
I hate when I lose the future.
Win the future = wtf.
Smart.
at least this year blinky ain’t the backdrop
15 minute mark
Ok,
Which one of these whatevers is the party at tonight?
(double posted just in case;)
barry soetoro has a touch of gay
Just a touch.
Hey, the Canadiens are playing the Flyers on Versus. Cool.
the civility thing worked out great. now you can’t see the effect of the election.
Oh my I’m still awake …
Oh, Obama is now stroking the Teachers’ Union. How unpredictable.
Can he show one single college that reduced tuition because of what he did?
How does he keep from getting whiplash? Does it say look left and look right on TOTUS?
Undocumented workers. FUCK YOU
He has no spine JD
all rethuglican candidates for 2012 need to be ask to end this charade in 2013. go back to the original purpose.
Uh,
That would be Coitus you JD!
Didn’t you get the civility memo?
What good is being Number 1 in college grads if the students aren’t learning anything?
I’m trying to bid on a Packers jersey on ebay while this is on. Less bidders that way.
“the goal is to give 80% of Americans access to high speed rail”
Sure, but only 5% will actually use it. BOONDOGGLE!
“All these investments”
ALL THIS SPENDING ….
Apparently Odummy hasn’t been briefed about Google.
Rigging the tax code? Like he did with the health care waivers?
Lobbiests have rigged the tax code?
Silly me, I thought Congress wrote those codes…
mom called, what’d I miss. other than RTO’s second manhattan.
30 minutes
Youd think TOTUS would know better. Perhaps I should have a video conference with it on my cell phone.
maggie
Obama is telling us how he is going to invest us good and hard.
boner looks more black than the blackman who looks yellow
I’ll tell you what you missed Maggie,
You missed Fancy Nancy (botox be upon her soul) setting a new speed blinking record
(fortunately missed that, Praise Zues;)
Oh goody, Obama wants to “work with anyone” who wants to improve ObamaCare.
I think Chrissie Matthews just got another tingle
could someone please explain the concept of insurance to these people?
No need to worry about bookkeeping burdens when your out of buisness so he’s on track with keeping that promise.
Shorter Obama to Republicans on ObamaCare: It passed, move on.
*Warning Democrat Math alert*
yes the rethuglican “let’s sit together fools” should be so very proud
Oh, boo hoo the Fed employees are getting their pay frozen.
I haven’t had a raise in 3 years while my med premiums have increased and my work load tripled.
How bout we match cuts in defense personnel with cuts in federal government employment.
This I increased discretionary spending by 84 percent and now want a freeze bullshit is such bullshit. Health insurance reform will fix it all, economist say repealing it will increase deficit. LIE. med mal reform, guaranteed that will never pass his lips again.
RAISE TAXES !!!!!!!
The whims of the stock market? Where does this guy think pensions invest? Fairy dust funds?
We must save social security by not changing it.
(and the democrats say amen)
Fed pay freezes on wages mean nothing. There are still step increases and bonuses.
he doesn’t even seem to be turning the pages in the binder…
And Jesus, does he have a horrible delivery. So mannered. So annoying.
It’s no soaring, his oratory. It’s boring.
What the heck does “win the future” mean?
Barry thinks hes Slick Willie now
yeah, clap cause he’s lost on the prompter.
oh good lord, a government careerists dream … have a job “reorganizing” the government.
DOUBLE lordy…was that a joke? And they laughed?? Did I miss the “Laugh” sign flashing?
Obama throws the trial lawyers under the bus!
Take one for the team, ambulance chasers! The WON has spoken!
hey they got their ribbons all pinned up nicely
I’ve had enough. I lost my jersey bid in the last possible second, Obama’s speaking and I think I need to evacuate.
‘Night all!
I Callahan
You want to improve government? Shrink it.
putting information on a website? that’s crazy talk.
McCain is a douchebag.
johnie mac standing up for something?
We’ve restored our place in the world?!?
Did I miss something?
Now he’s talking about a succesful example of leadership.
Thanks to President Bush and no thanks to him and his allies.
More transparency! More info online! Just like last time! When they didn’t follow through!
I’m swooning.
“Muslims are a part of our American family”
Christians? Not so much. (ditto those religious Jews)
47 minutes
Yeah Bob you’re late to the party. Apparently we won in Iraq. (Harry Reid could not be reached to comment)
BHO seems just a bit effeminate tonight, with his birdlike hand motions. Or is it just me seeing that?
And we’re sticking with the July 2011 bug-out date from the AF. I’m sure that the Taliban will be happy to hear that we’re sticking to that schedule.
Oh, is American Exceptionalism back in this year? Along with ribbons?
How very Reagan.
so as of July, RTO won’t be a “combat troop” whoop-ti-shit.
Now with the START treaty; that the Duma has yet to ratify…That they have expressly said means a freeze in missile defense; contrary to the C-in-C.
And who said, by the way, that they may just move those tactical nukes up onto the border with the NATO countries anyway.
Those are some exceptional ribbons! I bet Michelle picked them out
so boner has purple tie the won has blue tie and hairplugs has grey and blue and kyl has black and red. some serious tribalism goin’ on
The Tah-lee-bohn.
Christ, so mannered. So affected.
ebony and ivoreeeeeeee
And Korea? You mean where we basically have strong-armed the ROK behind the scenes to go back to the table with the Norks, and have essentially caved on restarting the 6 nation talks; which means the Norks will get paid for their temper tantrum after all.
Courtesy of “resetting” our relationship with the Chi-coms, and “restoring” our standing in the world…
Including China? Didn’t mention that to Hu, did he?
john kerry is wearing a gayly attired pink tie
Obama sounds like he’s trying to convince himself that the world is safer because of him and his “diplomatic efforts.”
He’s straining for applause. It’s kinda sad, in a Charlie Brown’s tiny Christmas tree is too heavy for the one ornament-kinda way…
Here we go…With the Military identity politics run-down; this year with lots of LGBT goodness to boot!
*sad trombone*
i liked the chicomms little song at dinner the other nite
Throwin’ me a bone by calling on campuses to let ROTC back in…I must have missed the accompanying wink and nod.
about 55 minutes
he just doesn’t look like he’s buys it. America’s special, yeah, clap you morons.
I can listen to this speech while driving a Tesla roadster.
Thank you, Grand Turismo 5!
Well, maybe with just a little EuroSocialist on the side…
WTF!?!?! is he talking about somewhere else! HERE 95% of the newspapers won’t print a story that the left doesn’t think fits The Narrative™ nor any broadcast medium…
boner’s been much stoic.
joey hairplugs is smiling
And now, after lying about himself and the American left “revering” the US Constitution, he’s doin’ his shout-outs to all the little people.
Aren’t they lucky…
i like the optic of boner looking over barry soetoro’s shoulder
Beats the hell out of looking at Nancy Pelosi sitting up there. The best part of it, really.
62 minutes…. felt much much longer
Win the future? Someday, 52% O the country will realize Barcky is just an image, a marketing campaign, and an idiot.
I know we will, in that fake affected stage whisper.
The Greeks think they are the greatest nation on earth, the Brits think they are the greatest nation on earth…
This American Exceptionalism is racist and imperialist. I protest!
fidel and hugo territory
3 or 4 hour days? Wow. I want in their union!
ABC is swooning over the mingling and the ‘atmosphere’.
Panel time! krauthammer – weak.
An Obama speech vs a Spin Doctors reunion show with $1 domestics at a bowling alley.
Which would sell more tickets?
Keep in mind, there is no guarantee they’ll play the one or two old songs you kinda sorta remember.
No mention of gun control. Smart move on. BHO’s part.
Dems better have learned that lesson.
Thank God he’s done palavering. Now we’ll hear the swooning of the punditocracy…

I was at a bar last night, and at one point I turned around and saw the president was on teevee giving a speech. What was that all about?
