    2012 State of the Union Address

    It's tonight! 6PM Pacific/ 9PM Eastern, on TV and streaming online everywhere.

    NPR did an interesting report card on Obama's 2011 address.

    Obama's personal preview:



    Expected talking points:

    - Job Training
    - Manufacturing in America
    - Energy policy
    - Tax reform

    Boehner started the shit-talking on Sunday

    House Speaker John Boehner doesn't sound like he's going to have a fun time listening to President Obama's State of the Union address Tuesday night.

    Obama is expected to outline an economic blueprint built around manufacturing, energy and education, and officials have said he'll propose fresh ideas to try to get the wealthy to pay more in taxes.

    Boehner says it sounds to him like "the same old policies" of more spending, taxes and regulations that have hurt the economy.

    The Ohio Republicans tells Fox News Sunday that if that's what Obama is going to talk about, then "I think it's pathetic."

    And go!

    It's not obama's style to name names, but i hope he mentions romney's taxes in his tax reform speech so i can say 'oh snap'.

    Don't know how anyone thinks Mitch Daniels could have beaten Obama.

    Can't remember the last president to have a hairline as receded as Mitch Daniels has now.


    Yes the way you look matters in presidential politics.


    which is why Newt won't win either.

    Was this your first State of the Union?

    I still think Obama should walk in and out to theme music.

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    Sometimes it makes me mad how good a speaker Obama is because I have to keep reminding myself that no matter how good it sounds, none of that shit is really going to happen.
