  5. I’ll bet he has his best sex when he is alone with his mirror. What a putz. Words fail to describe this man’s extraordinary ego.
    He recently stated he would rather be a great one term president than a mediocre two term pres.
    That tells me that his is already bored with his gig and can’t wait to get on to his next post. This one is starting to look too much like work.
    Obama doesn’t work.

  8. Who ya snowin’ now Nobel boy ?
    This isn’t community organizing the rubes it’s global politics — but it’s still about you. Personality cult politics don’t play well on the world stage even Putin knows this.

  9. I don’t follow politics, can somebody explain to me why the U.S. president sent his butler to deliver an important speech?

  15. I made it through the many “I”s and “I inherited”s.
    Started to get queasy when he started lecturing about openness. I thought Joe Wilson might yell out “C Span!”
    Felt like going for the Gravol when the king of bribes and dirty secret deals got into how earmarks should be more more transparent.
    Gasped when he said – after 100s of speeches – that people weren’t in favour of health care reform because he hadn’t spoken enough about it. Apparently, they still think calling the electorate ‘stupid’ is the way to go. I’m surprised he didn’t call the Independents “tea baggers” tonight. They loved that in Mass.
    Had a hint of dinner deja vu when he started on about the need for bipartisanship.
    Totally lost it when the perpetual campaigner said every day shouldn’t be Election Day… and that politicians should get on with governing.
    Anyone know a good carpet cleaner?

  17. From Ace’s:
    I & me – the Obama self-love numbers:
    Obama SOTU 2010 First Person Singular Pronoun Count
    I – 96 times
    me – 8 times
    Bush SOTU 2008 First Person Singular Pronoun Count
    I – 39 times
    me – 2 times

  19. It was a complete and total Obamarama. Did I hear correctly or did he say something about “all student debt to be forgiven after 20 years – or 10 years if you are in the public service”?

  20. I couldn’t take my eyes off Nancy Pelosi. Memo to Nancy… prior to TV time, refrain from the mushrooms.

  22. There is only one word that comes to mind – ICH. I find it hard to believe that the American people will put up with being talked to like that. It doesn’t matter who is doing the lecturing.
    In so many ways he reminds me of the Brits of old who believed if you spoke English loudly and clearly enough anyone would understand. Obama believes his ‘truths’ are so self evident that you must be a more than a little thick not to understand the rightness and the wisdom of those truths.

  23. It’s a double down – more of everything the same for the Big O.
    You know that feeling you get as you watch a train wreck or car crash as it happens? It’s the same horrible fascination I have right now, watching how far this is actually going to go towards some fiery, inevitably final conclusion.

  24. But Bush used the word “I” a lot too.
    Like in his remarks about Osama Bin Laden:
    “I don’t know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don’t care. It’s not that important. It’s not our priority.”
    – G.W. Bush, 3/13/02
    “I am truly not that concerned about him.”
    – G.W. Bush, responding to a question about bin Laden’s whereabouts,
    3/13/02 (The New American, 4/8/02)

  25. G.W.Bush is the President of the United States.
    Live for today, marquis.
    Living in the past is for tomorrow’s losers.

  27. Must have been bored, watched the whole thing. Typical Obahma, lets cooperate- you do everything my way, and by the way you guys screwed everything up. I hate banks, oil companies and big business. Vote for me. The supreme court, media, busines don’t know what they’re doing. Muslims are great, CO2 climate change is real. I need a teleprompter to order coffee at McD’s. I don’t need to say more.

  28. Oh hey that’s cool, Oz —
    I just thought that since Kate felt it crucially important to note that one President used the word “I”, then it was relevant that another President used that word. I mean since it’s so crucially important and decisive in determining Presidential leadership and all…
    Thought it was interesting too that the former President was unconcerned about the whereabouts of the perpetrator of the biggest mass murderer in US history – which happened on his watch.
    That’s all.

  30. Yes, set you free
    There was an observation in this thread that the first word Obama used in his SOTU speech.
    My comment, though, was about the video Kate posted.
    I also found it interesting that Bush was utterly unconcerned about the biggest killer in US history.
    He sure was concerned about Saddam Hussein though, wasn’t he – who had nothing to do with 9-11. He used the panic of 9-11 to go after Hussein, while remaining unconcerned about the actual perpetrator.
    Interesting.

  31. The reason Bush didn’t care about Bin Laden is because he knew that in all probability Bin Laden was dead and rotting in a cave and only the chronically stupid fail to realize that small point. And anyone who disagrees with me can post a photo of the same Bin Laden holding a copy af a current newspaper. Any newspaper.

  32. Well, I did like his reference to the critical points in American history, “Bull Run” and “Normandy”
    Unfortunately, that’s when he compares himself to Washington or Eisenhower. Bloody fool has delusions.
    It’s entertaining because we can watch in a few weeks when his rhetoric doesn’t pan out. Then we get to hear an encore
    performance from the “King of crap and sleaze”.

  33. Thought it was interesting too that the former President was unconcerned about the whereabouts of the perpetrator of the biggest mass murderer in US history – which happened on his watch.
    ~marquis
    Bush had Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of the biggest mass murder in U.S. history, in custody by September 11, 2002.
    Since then his whereabouts has been of little concern to G.W. Bush until Obama declared he should be brought to NYC and tried there.
    All the other perpetrators died in the plane crashes.
    Osama bin Laden, the spokesman for al-Qaeda, died in Tora Bora in early winter 2001, he is moldy meat paste on the inside of some collapsed cave.
    I don’t know what you go on about sometimes.

  34. I simply refuse to watch BO unless it’s with the sound off to see what psychopathology is reflected in his body movements. Having the TOTUS speech text emailed would save lots of time for fast readers.
    Heard from a friend in the US today that BO trashed the supreme court justices for coming out in support of the 1st Amendment in their ruling regarding the NRA’s right to run 3rd party ads during elections. When was the last time you heard a Canadian prime minister disagree the same way with a SCC decision? BO also proposed to pass legislation to bring back restrictions on spending during elections. Apparently Fox news carried a shot of one of the supreme court justices mouthing “not true” when BO went on about overturning the supreme court decision by legislation.
    The US president is supposed to be a guardian of the US constitution and here he is ready to violate the 1st ammendment to suit his political purposes. I’m getting this information second hand, but my friend in the US is a lawyer and found it absolutely incomprehensible that this sort of thing could happen in SOTU address. It may be that chosing Biden as his VP was the most intelligent decision that BO made as this makes it much less likely that he’ll be impeached (unless Biden and Polosi have unfortunate simultaneous smelting accidents).

  35. Can anyone substantiate the teleprompter in the classroom thing?
    I’ve read that it was a hoax.
    Not sure what to believe.
    Does the White House have to pay the networks for the air time?
    And Gawd, wouldn’t it be horrible to have to sit through that?
    Joe Biden has the worst job in the world.

  36. re: “I do not bring with me today a definitive solution to the problems of war.”
    Read the essay The Roots of War, in Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal, by Ayn Rand, to get a clue.

  37. nv53: I’ll certainly pass along your recommendation to my good buddy Barrack Obama, who said, in his Nobel Prize acceptance speech, “I do not bring with me today a definitive solution to the problems of war.”

  38. G:
    I too thought the “Totus in the classroom” it had to be photoshopped….then I checked it out on the Whitehouse.gov website. The photo was there too but don’t know if it still is….I found it under the “education” tab.

  40. Wow – Oz and U just make shit up when they haven’t got a ready argument. Truly pathetic.
    But what else are they gonna do when they rush to defend a President who shrugged off the perpetrator of the biggest mass murder on US soil – which happened on his watch!

  42. What don’t like that one? Even the New York Times implied as much
    http://www.nytimes.com/2002/07/11/opinion/11TAHE.html?ex=1089432000&en=373a282aeff2716a&ei=5070&todaysheadlines
    And to heap another insult upon your pathetic little mind I guess you were sleeping when Benazir Bhutto, in an interview before her death, named Omar Sheikh as the man who murdered Bin Laden.
    He’s dead moron, get it thru your little peanut. The only reason for his continued longevity is to have a boogie man to parade in front of the sheeple. The only people who still believe he is is alive have IQ’s less than Shaq’s shoe size.In other words lefties and newsies.

  44. Wretchard’s summary:
    ““*Hold on boys, Hope is on the way.””
    Hope’s little sister, Fear, is the silent, unspeaking presence:
    “,fear, a white liver’d-lilly-cheeked, bashful palpitating, awkward hussey that hangs like a green girl at her sister’s apron strings & will go with her whithersoever she goes.”
    (Letters of Charles and Mary Anne Lamb)

  45. Anybody count the times of BBS? you would think that after a year or so the Blame Bush Syndrome would start to wear thin.

  47. The marquis de troll said: “I also found it interesting that Bush was utterly unconcerned about the biggest killer in US history.”
    Well Mr. troll, it could be that Ol’ George was “utterly unconcerned”, or it could be that he understood the nature of Al Qaeda was such that killing Bin Laden (if he wasn’t already dead) would make zero difference to the people doing terror attacks on the USA. Something which His One-ness, Barry of the Royal We, simply does not get. Or worse, ignores for nefarious purposes.
    Al Qaeda as we have seen in the last ten years is a beast with no head. It has no infrastructure, no vital components, no organization at all, really. Its a bunch of guys all over the world with the same idea, doing whatever they want whenever the opportunity presents itself.
    You can’t kill it by direct action, there’s nothing to attack. But you can -starve- it to death by destroying the regimes that give these clowns munitions and a place to hide. Hence the Iraq war, the Afghan war, and if he’d had the balls to do the whole job an Iran war and a North Korea war. All the munitions blowing up Canadians in Afghanistan this year come from those two countries. The Taliban isn’t in a position to make their own stuff, right?
    Most of the reason why Iran and NorK still stands is d1cks like yourself Mr. Troll, just btw, way to protect the inhuman tyrant states. But this strays from my main point.
    So now, into this program of starving Al Qaeda by attacking the people who feed it we inject The One. Barry Obama, the Hope’nChange Saviour of the common man, the guy whose every word is pure gold.
    Whose response to a Christmas attack on the USA by the Exploding Underpants guy has been… what, exactly? Nothing, really. Well, other than to crank down the screws on US air travelers a couple more turns. Basically reward the people whose abject failures let UnderwearMan on the plane with more money and more power. Which they will use to perpetuate their present abject failure to new heights of stupidity.
    State of the Union had what new and bold plans to reach out and destroy Al Qaeda? Get Bin Laden? Zippo. ZilchZeroNada is what it had.
    Who put the trial of major Al Qaeda guys and current Guantanamo Bay residents in New York City? Barry. Why? Certainly not safety, according to the NYPD chief.
    Oh and btw, who hasn’t pulled any troops out of anyplace that mean ol’ George W. Bush put them, one year in and against his promises? Could it be… Barry?
    What was Barry’s big keystone promise last night marquis? TAX CUTS, monkey boy. Tax cuts. Why? Because Scott Brown won in Mass, and Barry’s handlers are PANICKING. But Barry’s cool, he doesn’t have to worry until 2012. Maybe the pig will learn to sing by then, eh?
    I don’t have much respect for Lefty trolls, but I would think that even you would know that when a guy says “this is not about me!” in a speech where he refers to himself 136 times, it really, really is all about him. And nothing else but him.

  48. The most jarring thing is how Obama called for non-partisan co-operation and a reduction in hostilities, while taking potshots at Republicans and Bush throughout.
    He just can’t help himself.

  49. The POTUS uses a teleprompter for his annual eye exam.
    ~Prof Lori
    It’s been said that he uses a teleprompter to call his dog, BO.
    (Even the dog’s name is all about him)

  50. People who are egocentric have no idea they are egocentric, this is a fine example which should be played for Obama over and over and over and over again. It might save the world.
