Presidential Address To Congress

[Mikearoo]

Did anyone watch this tonight. It seemed like the State of the Union . . all the formalities of it and everything.

Then the response from "Bobby" Jindal. I really dont like him. He walked out with the fakest smile, and if your were watching MSNBC, Keith Olbermanns mic wasn't shut off and you could hear him say 'Oh God' as Jindal was walking out.

^ karma for the excellent typo

It's not exactly a SOTU speech, but it's supposed to represent one since he didn't get to make it this year. Outside of wars and SOTUs, it doesn't happen too often.

I didn't get to see Jindal begin the address because I've been shuttling back & forth to the laundromat while this has been going on.
Heard him respond on the radio, though... he's not quite ready for 2012.

I like hearing Obama alot more than I ever liked listening to Bush.

[kdogg]

Shouldn't you be saying "Hillary would have been better," Mr. President?

[bamadancer]

I cannot stand Jindal. He is an idiot, and definitely not ready for 2012.

The repubs would do well to get somebody not so...blatantly partisan that plays politics solely for personal gain...

The speech was impressive though. I'm excited.

Anybody catch The Daily Show on Monday night? Stewart was discussing all the GOP govs who were saying "We don't want the money, it's irresponsible, etc, etc." and then minutes later, during the same interview, said they would be accepting some of it.

Stewart said it like being against homosexuality, but then taking the BJ that the guy in the corner is offering.
