If we would have had "background checks" in place to run for president, this moron would not have been able to run.

And for your information morningperson, I am not a "conservative" any more than I am a "liberal". I don't want to be associated with any political party. The two party system is what is bringing this great country to it's knees. Just so you know.

cp.. Conservatism isn't a political party, it's an ideology. You'll have to excuse mp if that isn't your ideology, your posts would seem to indicate that you are.

I must have fell asleep and missed the lights going out and Beyonce's act.!!I heard it was a pretty good show!!I saw pics of the Dems and Repub's shaking hands and having a good ole time. And here I thought they were in gridlock. It is all a dog and pony show to keep us distracted from the real truth.

All I heard come out of the Prophet Hussien was "Blah, Blah, Blah... I'm going to spend your money,...Blah, Blah, Blah... I'm going to tax the working folks more...Blah,Blah,Blah, ...I'm going to do what I want because I am a supreme being. Are his followers really this crazy or do they just want to stick it to the "man". I dont get it.

All I can say is this is nuts! He wants to raise the min wage to $9.00 an hour! He is going to put the small business guys right out the door! Between all the taxes on them already and add the health care plan in there and then up the wages on top of that! Good bye small business people because there is no way to afford it! They have taken away from the small business people a way to reward the hard workers with a raise! All I can say is we are in big trouble since small business makes up most of all workers out there! Good luck all!

It took a few extra clicks on the remote but I was successfully able to avoid that complete speech. Looks like I did not miss much.

Actually, I avoided the speech in order to wait until today so MSNBC could tell me what he meant by what he said. I did not want to go by what he actually said.

Here are a few falsehoods from the POTUS President Obama put a rosy spin on several accomplishments of his administration in his 2013 State of the Union address. ¦The president claimed that “both parties have worked together to reduce the deficit by more than $2.5 trillion.” But that’s only an estimate of deficit reduction through fiscal year 2022, and it would be lower if the White House used a different starting point. ¦Obama touted the growth of 500,000 manufacturing jobs over the past three years, but there has been a net loss of 600,000 manufacturing jobs since he took office. The recent growth also has stalled since July 2012. ¦He claimed that “we have doubled the distance our cars will go on a gallon of gas.” Actual mileage is improving, but Obama’s “doubled” claim refers to a desired miles-per-gallon average for model year 2025. ¦Obama said the Affordable Care Act “is helping to slow the growth of health care costs.” It may be helping, but the slower growth for health

¦Obama said the Affordable Care Act “is helping to slow the growth of health care costs.” It may be helping, but the slower growth for health care spending began in 2009, before the law was enacted, and is due at least partly to the down economy. The president also made an exaggerated claim of bipartisanship. He said that Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney agreed with him that the minimum wage should be tied to the cost of living. But Romney backed off that view during the campaign.

BeRight, it that right? I believe I have represented the fact I am pro gun and anti Obutthead.
You evidently don't pay a lot of attention.

I have a response to the SOTU. I`m thirsty, no smokadaweed, before responding to POTUS speech. At least I got quite a bit of garden enhancer from all 3 speakers.

concerned; OK, so you want to have opinions but not be associated with a party? So how do you vote? According to your post you vote Republican.

It's too bad people sit around and complain about what is wrong in our country, but won't lift a finger to try to change anything.
If you aren't part of the solution, then you are part of the problem.
