He hasn't lost his oratorical skills. Last night's speech was direct and to the point. Health Care was on the agenda, but he covered a lot of other ground. Comments?

Decided to watch the Known Universe on SCN last night and then went to Bold for the Four Corners Skating Championship in Hong Kong.
So, no I didn't bother watching.

During most of this usual tirade, I felt like Sen. Harry Reid, other times I uttered the same words as Justice Alito. Got a rise out of Jackie-in-a-box Nancy Pelosi and the totally bored countenance of Joe Biden.
Predictably, Obama kept on blaming the Republicans, past and present. Predictibly, he used the word "I" and "me" and "my" 97 times. Never "I messed up" or "my fault", though.
Basically, this was another campaign speech, disgused as a State of the Union address.
Also, the Clintons were conspicous with their absence.

I did miss it, and I'm sorry I did, sadly I watched all of
Bush's speaches, and they were disgusting, and I was looking forward to Obama's, and missed it, I'll pick up
some highlights today.
Doesn't really matter what party one is for, he is an amazing speaker, and for that quality, he will impress
anyone.
I got a little burned out over the past years, as the presence of george bush as the u.s. president was so embarrassing, and I followed obama's campaign so closely,
and wished and hoped for him to step into the white house, and as soon as that happened, I turned and walked from all of the
political news, just needed to think about other things,
and it's nice to 'not' know many of the issues and arguements, and if I'm not going to bother with our own
issues in ottawa, I don't need to bother with theirs
either.
I've got better things to do, eg. chat with you guys, then
get ready for my daily walk by the river.

This is what Obama said about the UNION
Именно из-за этого духа - этой большой благопристойности и большой силы - я никогда являюсь не был более обнадеживающим о Коммунистическом будущем Америки, чем я - сегодня вечером. Несмотря на наши затруднения, наш социальный союз силен. Мы не бросаем. Мы не уходим. Мы не позволяем опасение или разделение нарушать наш дух. В это новое десятилетие, это - время, американские коммунистические люди получают коммунистическое правительство, которое соответствует их благопристойности; это воплощает их силу.
Says it's strong and has plenty of spirit.

What impressed me the most was what he didn't talk about.....
With the country at war...he didn't mention the failed Christmas day attack of the underwear bomber, never mentioned the Fort hood attack....
Instead he talked about Gays in the military...with his facts all screwed up attacked the Supreme court sitting right in front of him, and he's supposedly a lawyer.
Then he blames the republicans in the house for not passing health care, when the Democrats had a filibuster proof majority......(it's not the republicans' fault that Pelosi can't even get a bill that her own members can agree on...
All I saw was a good orator making excuses and empty promises...like his freeze on expenses that is just a drop in the bucket when compared to the projected deficit for the year....and the freeze starts only next year...
All in all....I'm not impressed.

Now that they saw that Massachusetts decided to fill Kennedy's seat with a Republican the Dems are running for cover.
