*sigh* Love that man.

I thought it was a very good speech and got the right points. I didn't bother to watch much of Daniels. he seemed very boring and very pessimistic.

Both were spewing bold faced lies as far as I'm concerned, both parties suck.

so what is the alternative? There is no third party and you can't vote them all out. You have to have a government. I also don't think Obama was saying any lies more just saying what he wants to see happen.

revolution would be violent, especially in this country, millions could die. And as I said it be hard to vote them out because who would you replace them with? You can't replace them with nobody. There are only two parties really. You would need people to run to vote which just won't happen. I do think we need changes. We need a constitutional amendment for campaign fiancee reform. The money is the problem and why there is so much partisanship in this country.

same old hope and believe and do nothing.

honestly, I think most presidents of the past were awful at speeches. Jefferson was one of the worst speakers of his era. He hated public speaking and never did any speeches throughout his whole presidencies. Probably the best orators of the 19th century were Lincoln and the two Adams. Since we are in an age of television the president has got to be a great speaker and Obama fits in with the more recent style. Presidents like Jefferson and Washington would never be president today because they would have trouble talking on camera.

At least Jefferson had the decency to not do a State of the Union speech. I don't care who the president is, I dislike the SotU. Fucking clapping is the worst.
