My guy can beat your guy...
 

The State of the Union address will be delivered by the President tonight at 9 pm EST.
The pundits are saying Obama will use this as an opportunity to deliver more of a campaign speech than the traditional address.
If so, this will be the beginning of the 2012 Presidential campaign, and perhaps deserves of a new thread.

And besides all that:

Sadly, Stephen Colbert has suspended his campaign, so now it's
just between my guy and the Republican ( :lol2:) candidates.

My guy can will beat your guy...

ftfy

Wrong! :rolleyes:

huh? Who is gonna beat O?

No one.

From what I hear (I did not watch it), Congress did not like the cheerleading and scolding that was well deserved. Congressmen promoted by Limbaugh, et al were told to make America fail so that Obama would fail. That has been the Congressional mandate especially this last two years.

It was a reporters observation. Congressmen do not leave as fast as they did this time. Because Obama told them what patriotic Americans do. And what Congress is not doing.

J?

That was my point.

OBAMA ROCKS IT!

Makes me proud to be an American again.

I know. I was being sarcastic when I said wrong. The article I posted basically says that both Romney and Gingrich have disapproval ratings above 50%. Continuing at this pace, Obama just has to not mess up at this point.

Obama has to be the best public speaker that I've ever seen. Watching Mitch Daniels afterward was ... well just sad.
And Mitch Daniels is a good speaker as well.
Just not in the same class as O. I can see why many wanted him to run this year.
The other two, three or four still running have very little chance of doing anything.
This is totally O's to lose, and I just can't see that happening.

IM, great User Title ;)

Only one president has been reelected when unemployment was this massive. Reagan. Many forget the economic mess when Reagan was reelected.

Most people vote based upon their feelings - ie how wealthy they feel. Therefore, as Clinton said, "its the economy stupid".

Most people, for example, forget a more than five plus years of pain necessary to fix it. Carter had interest rates rise massively to around 20% in the 1970s. Only then did jobs return in the mid-1980s. Most voter perspective is less than one year.

Reagan also kept saying how good things were even when they were not. That message is probably why Reagan is the only president relected when unemployment was massive.

Plus Walter Mondale did stupid stuff....like tell the truth.

I've always felt sorry for Carter... so many things were out of his control.
Iran hostages, Oil embargo, S&L crisis, gas prices doubled, 3-mile island.
And so... unemployment and interest rates went up.

Reagan had nothing except and movie-star smile and 2 lines:
"There you go again" and "Are you better off than you were 4 years ago"
