In reply to It will be interesting to see

My guess is the ratings break all past records.

Nope. The ratings are in and they are down a bit, as they have been each year:

Nielsen: Obama's smallest State of Union audience, (AP) – 14 minutes ago

Interesting that he didn't even overtake Bush's least watched in 2008.

Oh Resistance, I KNEW you were going to say that! ;^)

But I think what Aunt Sam meant, is: which of the four Republican candidates do you think would make an appropriate alternative to Obama?

Good choice. But, wasn't

Tax the rich so Obama can

Tax the rich so Obama can appear more generous, when he gives the middle class more government aid?

Had Obama done all he could, to assist the millions of Americans whose nest eggs were in their homes, the people wouldn't be dependent upon BIG GOVERNMENT for a handout.

Middle class.......republican slave or democratic pawn?

Just curious, which one of the four horseman do you support?

Sorry; but your assumption is

In reply to I was stunned at the vitriol

Sorry; but your assumption is baseless and hopeless

Obama can't do it, only WE can. He can lead us, but we have to do the work too.

I am not about to give Obama a free pass.

Newt said exactly what many have felt for a long time...... Obama's agenda is NOT in the best interest of the middle class; it's only better than the others

Besides (did you get a voice in the decision to appoint the BIASED T Geithner ?) Did Obama give a rats .. what you thought about his choice

As Newt pointed out, Geithner has a bias, A BIAS AGAINST HOMEOWNERS....... HIS BIAS favors treasuries over homeownership.

Obamas choice has a bias against the working class; and no amount of Obama BS will ever change the fact;

Obamas a wolf in sheeps clothing, only his pack of predators don't run with the Republican pack. both packs are tearing the middle class apart.

Obama TALKS about bringing manufacturing jobs back to the USA, but he lets the only industry left in America; to flounder and sink

As pointed out in the USA Today; housing related industries are 18 percent of the GDP

What's wrong with intervening to help save 18 percent of the GDP? then talk about doing what ever it takes to bring back jobs while he presides over the only industry left in America.

God, he must think were all idiots (well at least he has the Obamabots fooled)

Home foreclosures have made millions of the 99%, dependent upon the government, as millions have lost their retirement nest eggs.

So Obama can blame the rich; when IT WAS HIS OWN ADVISORS who've screwed the middle class homeowners?

Obamas plan ........ Tax the rich, so he can give food stamps to the middle class, his advisors screwed over and robbed?

Geitheners banker friends have been helped, because Obama chose the best friend the bankers could get and by extension Obama ignored the WE ....as in WE THE MIDDLE CLASS

When you write "Obama can't do it, only WE can. He can lead us, but we have to do the work too".

Your assuming Obama really cared to lead is baseless.

Tell me what more can WE homeowners do, when the president ignores WE in favor of those;....... and only gives lip service so that he can get reelected because he can claim his pack of predators is more compassionate, than those mean ol republicans.

Obama can blame everyone else, but the reality is.. HE CHOSE TO IGNORE THE PEOPLES PLEAS FOR HELP.

It was his appointments that stabbed the middle class in the back.

ET TU OBAMA ?

SWING VOTERS AND SOTU SPEECH

In reply to But what did Lady Gaga think of the SOTU speech?

SWING VOTERS AND SOTU SPEECH - FYI

Copied from Andrew Sullivan's 'The Daily Beast'

Stan Greenberg's results from watching 50 swing voters in a focus group respond to the speech.

As noted on Sullivan's site:

The dials spiked when the President made his strong populist pitch for the “Buffet Rule,” with Democrats exceeding 80 on our 0-to-100 scale and both independents and Republicans moving above 70. There was no polarization here, as voters across the political spectrum gave Obama high marks. And Obama’s framing of the economic challenges facing the country through the lens of post-World War II America was particularly effective. He also received high marks for his proposal to change the tax code to encourage “insourcing” instead of “outsourcing,” his call to change our “unemployment system” to a “re-employment system” and his appeal to make it easier for entrepreneurs and small business to grow and create jobs.
