Liveblogging the SOTU
9:18 Two minutes in and Biden has managed to shut up so far.
9:21 You cut taxes? No. You FAILED to raise the health care tax, thanks to the Republicans.
9:23 Biden's pretty distracting. He should have been coached to sit still.
9:23 He's doubling down on the Crapulus Bill?
9:24 Apparently he's still under the impression that government creates jobs rather than moves them around.
9:30 The business tax credit is a good idea. Where was this idea a year ago? Oh, that's right. No bandwidth for it. The Administration had to focus on a massive socialist takeover of the health care bill.
9:30 Calling for a focus on jobs in 2010? That should have been the focus since day one!!!!
9:30 "I do not accept second place for the United States of America." So why all the damn apologizing, Mr. "No Nation Can Or Should Dominate Another."
9:33 "I'm not interested in punishing banks." (cough) BULLSHIT (cough).
9:33 Now he's pitted his Administration against the lobbyists. Code word for banks. TOLD you it was bullshit!!!!!
9:36 New nuclear plants and offshore driling. Is it just me or is Nancy Pelosi visibly pained at those words.
9:36 PELOSI CLAPS LIKE A SEAL!!!!!! (DRINK)
9:38 The more exports we sell, the more jobs we will support at home. That's why I want to double our exports!!!!!
How? By spending so damn much the dollar will become worthless!!! Neat trick, huh? Who could compete with us?
9:41 "A high school diploma no longer guarantees a good job." Who was under the illusion that it ever did.
9:42 Let's give families 10,000 in tax credits for college, and increased pell grants. I see tuitions rising 10,000 very quickly.
9:42 Wow. Let's help students pay off student loans if they go into government service. That way,
9:43 I am not a homeowner. If Obama is deliberately working to raise home prices, he is going directly to work against me.
9:44" We still need health insurance reform." Slow learner, huh!
9:47 "I take my share of the blame for not explaining (health reform) to the American people." Christ, this guy's delusional. The more he explained it, and the more Americans understood it, the more we didn't want that shit.
9:48 "As temperatures cool, I want everyone to take a second look." HELL NO!!!!
9:49 He's throwing out the "bring down the deficit" strawman. There is no way that reform nightmare would have brought down the deficit long term. Only a pathological liar could possibly argue otherwise. This should be obvious to anyone with half a brain.
9:51 Blaming the prior administration. DRINK.
9:52 Obama criticized McCain for proposing a freeze. Said McCain wanted to use a hatchet, but he wanted to use a scalpel. Then he spent like a drunken sailor. Now he's pulling out the hatchet.
9:55 "That's how budgeting works." ROFL!!!!!!!! "Let me show you how it's done, son!!" FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAART!!!!!!
9:56 "That's what we did for eight years." Blaming the previous administration. DRINK.
9:57 "To do our work openly." Like put the health care negotiations on C-SPAN?
9:58 "We've excluded lobbyists from policy-making jobs." HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!
9:58 What part of "Congress shall make no law" don't you understand Mr. President?
9:59 Obama just challenged Congress to put earmark requests on line prior to votes. Nancy Pelosi stood up and clapped like a seal again. (DRINK). She's got a huge majority. Think it'll happen? No. What a lying hypocrite she is. Hold her feet to the fire.
10:03 I love it when the Republican minority says "no" to Pelosi and Reid's policy initiatives. THAT'S leadership!!!
10:05 Will he mention victory?
10:06 We're plugging gaps discovered by the Christmas attack. But we still have the same incompetent Director of Homeland Security.
10:07 "We will have all our combat troops out of Iraq by the end of this August." Betcha we won't.
10:08 The new Montgomery GI bill is a lot better. I'll give them that. The VA has a long way to go.
10:09 Oooh. Good luck getting the Norks and Iranians to play along with the promised nuclear anti-proliferation protocols.
10:11. Good job. Stick to your guns on the Iranians. I hope it means something. The problem is, I don't think this president has much credibility in the Iranian halls of power. Bowing to Arabs doesn't help his stature among Persians.
10:12 "That's why we stand with the girl who yearns to go to school in Haiti." Heh. I thought he was going to say "the girl who urinates."
10:14 Taking aim at the prohibition on gays in the military. That's a 2nd term project, though. Not a first-term.
10:15 "Immigrants from every corner of the globe. Like me for instance. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!
10:21 That was it? That's the SOTU? Double exports and freeze spending? This is OBAMA???????? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
10:22 Is it just me? or did nearly every SOTU I've ever seen get more applause than this one? This seems anti-climatic. Like the home team lost the game and everyone's looking to leave the parking lot before the rush.

Haven't visited your site in too long Jason. Good to be here and good to see that you're still blogging.
Well, Obama does not seem to be critical of what he said during his SOTU. He was not at all thinking of what people might think and say when he is going to cite about double exports and freeze spending not to mention all other issues. It's like empty talk.
