whoever got the partys to sit with each other should get some kind of a medal.

talk about some childish shit, when the two houses sit across the aisles and none of them clap for some things and none for others.

force these dumb asses to talk to each other .

why does it take so long for these dumb ass goons to figure out something so simple.

It was a nice speech but a bit unrealistic. I like how he wants us to step it up and be more innovative. His talks about science and math are right to the point but it is a joke to want us to keep being the pioneers in every industries to just see these jobs time and time again getting soaked right out of the country because of these rotten trade deals. He talks about college and how every student needs it now but to go to college is almost becoming a joke. He wants more teachers but who the hell wants to make 50 thousand a year but start off 150 thousand in debt? Colleges are pricing Americans out. The stress of being in school and knowing u have these terrible loans become unbearable to most. It is always nice to have that huge loans while the foreigner has that nice free ride. I love to see these new trade deals he wants to sign. I can see the right, right now cutting them apart so that the country who we deal with, gets the best side of the deal.

Obama's address was boring.

Ryan's response was condescending and his delivery was way too rehearsed and stiff.

Bachmann... disturbing.

At least Ryan didn't let us down, injecting the fear factor -- "we live in apocalyptic times".
Ryan did himself no favors by presenting the Republican response to the State of the Union address. Until now, he's managed to stay above the fray and avoid getting mired in political rhetoric.

It could have been A LOT worse for the Republicans though. Michelle Bachmann thinks our founding fathers ended slavery and Sarah Palin thinks Sputnik brought down the Soviet Union. You've gotta wonder if either of them have ever read a book that didn't have Fabio on the cover. :shrug:

Just under 22 months before Election Day, we have our first semi-official entrant in the 2012 presidential race.

Republican Herman Cain announced Wednesday that he's setting up an exploratory committee to raise cash for a potential bid for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination.

Wait, Herman who?

A former CEO of Godfather's Pizza and executive at Pillsbury, Cain is a conservative radio host in Atlanta who has been a popular figure on the GOP speaking circuit over the last year. Cain, who is black, is perhaps best known nationally for speaking out last year against charges made by the NAACP that the tea party is made up of "racist elements."

Last month, Cain topped a 2012 presidential straw poll organized by the conservative blog Red State, beating out the likes of Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee. Still, Cain, who also previously headed the National Restaurant Association, has virtually no name recognition beyond the GOP grass roots and is not even a blip in most early presidential polls ? not that he views that as a problem.

In an interview Wednesday with CNN, Cain said he's been motivated all of his life by people who think he can't win.

"People who say that Herman Cain has no chance of winning the nomination for the Republican Party or win the presidency -- I simply say thank you," he said. "Because all my life I have been in situations where I wasn't supposed to become VP of Pillsbury, I wasn't supposed to be able to turn Godfather's Pizza around. I wasn't supposed to succeed in climbing the corporate ladder in corporate America. So to the people who say I don't have a chance, I say: Thank you. Because that inspires me."

An exploratory committee is generally the first step a potential candidate takes in seeking the White House. Cain is expected to announce whether he'll formally seek the nomination later this year.

I had a long conversation with a BP exec today. They have completely eliminated "performance" from their vocabulary. It was equated to Obama calling "investment" spending.
