President Obama in his State of the Union address on Tuesday night spoke confidently about what he expects to accomplish his second term, but how he described job creation and a showdown with Congress over automatic sequester cuts in the budget took some economists by surprise.
"The most politically significant part of the address concerned the upcoming showdowns on the fiscal cliff, continued funding of the government and debt ceiling," said Robert Reich, former Secretary of Labor during the Clinton administration and Chancellor's Professor of Public Policy at the University of California at Berkeley. "On these, it wasn't so much what the president said -- his calls for cooperation were non-partisan -- but his implicit threat that if Republicans play games of brinksmanship on any of these, he will call them on it, and has the power to get the public behind him."

Me- I got desperate and lonely so i chose to watch your speech. Then i threw up after 10-15 minutes of it.
I am sorry Mr. President...i cannot and have not claimed to be a fan of yours.You bullied Republicans around for two long years. You are incapable of compromise. You know why that is...your a liberal.
Plus you like doing everything for me.I see no job creation. I have been looking and looking and turning application...after application...praying to. Apparently God is a good Republican...and really lets talk about your choice in Vice President...him again?
You would have been better off chosing Hilary Clinton...at least i can take her serious.Mr. President Mr. President making promises and not keeping them....Your worse far worse then even Hugo Chavez and that is no compliment. You need to run cuba not America..you don't care about us white americans at all.
That's why I think raising the minimum income is fine.
But I'm sure he was just lying again, like he always does!
not to lie anymore.
I Tried ........ again, to listen to the state of the union address, and I heard the same used car pitch this time as i have heard every time.
I tuned out after 30 minutes of him telling us how we just needed to pony up more tax dollars and everything will be alright as soon as the evil rich and the republicans stop opposing my divine will!
Bush on his worst day never sounded that arrogant.
I heard the same empty words, from the empty man, in the empty suit. Too bad, he owes so much to his bundlers and demands we pay for his payback, I see he is still anal about pouring more $$$ down the green energy septic tank, where he big doners are.
Delivery, as usual, very good. Substance - zip. AP fact checked and found him wanting on several 'points" (some might say lies, some might say distortions ) AP kindly called it cherry picking.

NRAt: 'we need the guns to protect ourselves against the government.
Jon Snow: are you talking about Obama?
NRA: he's a tyrant. we need to arm ourselves and protect ourselves against him.
Snow: so what are you actually saying?
NRA: I am saying we need to protect ourselves against this tyrant. he is not the first president who got shot.
Snow: is this a threat?
NRA: you can take it whatever way you like it.
I forgot his name, hence just the term 'NRA' - maybe it's normal in the States, it certainly made me feel very uncomfortable.
be careful when Obie says he has yo back, you might want to reconsider, so far his record is not so good there,
Have to admit while the economy is in the tank, the debt increasing by $6,000,000,000,000, unemployment new norm 8% he did demand others pay for the Fluke things 3 condom a day habit. what a dude.
listen, find another idiot for your ramblings.

1. North Korea/Wyoming detention center
CLAIM: "There is a minimum of one confirmed concentration camp built on American soil in rural Wyoming. " The (Department of Homeland Security) accidentally placed these photos on a publicly accessible portion of their website " (but) they were pulled within one hour. " The images are not gone forever though."
FACT: These actually are legitimate images of "forced-labor colonies, camps, and prisons"--in North Korea. The images were taken from "The Hidden Gulag: Exposing North Korea's Prison Camps," a report prepared by the Washington D.C.-based Committee for Human Rights in North Korea.
Then someone manipulated the headers, photo dates and annotations. The original five images, showing a dorm for prisoners, forced-labor shops and guard towers, are here. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) "When we first got the photos, we had no idea they were prison camps," said Matthew McKinzie, one of the men responsible for collecting the imagery. "The North Korean gulags are work gulags; the prisoners are forced to work and live in what look like North Korean villages. It wasn't until we began interviewing former prisoners that we knew what we were looking at." In the fakes, original maps and geographic coordi...

The whole thing may have been a hoax--the name of the made-up facility, "Swift Luck Greens," is an anagram for "Left Wing Suckers"--but it's evidence that once things get passed around the Internet, they can lose context and the wildest theory wins.

CLAIM: "More (evidence of) Concentration Camps in America for Americans. Yes, they are real. More (photographic) proof " read it and weep, it's coming!"
FACT: Camp Grayling, located in northern central Michigan, is the largest National Guard training center in the U.S. The National Guard, active and reserve components of the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force and Coast Guard all train there, practicing everything from helicopter gunnery to processing and care for prisoners of war. "The 'camps' you are referring to are used by our military police for training," said Maj. Dawn Dancer, a public information officer for the Michigan National Guard. "In fact, one of our MP units just returned from a 12-month deployment where they oversaw the operations of a POW facility in Iraq. We are fortunate to have such a great training facility here." This is also evidence of the life span of these theories: Far from being new, or even inspired by post-9/11 government buildup, Dancer first began responding to these photos in 1999. "I cannot believe this rumor about Camp Grayling is still alive," she said.
