Obama's Congressional Address

Anyone else watch it? (Anyone else have a good laugh?)

It was all about this raging health-care debate.

The hitherto consistent childishness of our glorious representatives persisted per usual. This just added to the comedic value of the thing.

His political strategy was sound (lip-service anyone?), but the actual content of his message was suspect. He expects that his plan will add nothing to the national deficit, which i find rather perplexing. We'll certainly know for sure in years to come whether this is true or just more political posturing.

I also found some of Obama's speech to be downright laughable; for instance glorifying competition while at the same time criticizing its natural culmination: That one of the competing parties should win; He was referring here to the 4 or 5 companies who control about 75% of health care in 34 states.

Anyone else see anything worth noting?

^^^ I didn't watch that one. There probably isn't anything worth seeing in it since Obama wasn't allowed to socialistically indoctrinate the youth with red propaganda.

"LIAR"

That's basically the Republican Party right there, excepting like the 3 or 4 remaining Republican moderates.

Nah dude, Lincoln Chafee isn't in the Senate anymore. I don't think there are any left.

The two senators from Maine are moderate Republicans, as is Chuck Grassley of Iowa.
