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 ( ) candidates.

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.

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.

This statement encapsulates why you are so abysmally incapable of politics, tw. You're wrapped up very tightly in wacko extremist theories, and your opinions aren't normal, neutral, nor natural. They are conspiracist, and Michael Schermer's work apparently has altogether escaped you.

When you reject and break and reverse ObamaThink, discouraging the Democrats and their like-thinkers on the Republican side of the aisle, you have saved the Republic. Otherwise, it's the making of the Socialist Oligarchy, and nobody of sense ever wanted that for a nanosecond. I come up to that excellent standard.

Quote:
Nixon intentionally created economic malaise in 1968 and 1970. Wasting human life and spending money we did not have because (as tapes between he and Kissinger demonstrate), Nixon did not want to lose a war on his watch.
Hmm. I seem to recall balanced budgets on the Nixon watch too.

In Tw World, the Communists never come in for their share of the credit, particularly in the wasting human life end of things. Not once. He misses one hundred and twenty million untimely deaths -- tells you how abominable tw's socialist biases really are, how profoundly he longs for the halcyon days of Josef Stalin and a genocide for every other Five Year Plan. Needs his nose beaten flat with a rolled-up National Review. And an enema.

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
John Stuart Mill
English economist & philosopher (1806 - 1873)

This regrettable point of view runs through all of tw's thinking, and he'd like me to adopt it. He'd feel better in his -- lapsed -- condition if I did. He consistently champions it, and opposes and criticizes those who are otherwise in the head and heart -- calls 'em cannon-fodder and puppets and so forth. Unfortunately for tw's ill-founded moral self-estimation, I have better ideas than that. His badness torments him -- and I help. He could perhaps have had something else, something better. But nooooope. Now that Radar's taken off, tw's is the #1 miswired psyche in the Cellar.
