The money would then go in tax credits to the least well off and expand free community college education.
The Republicans who control both houses are dismissive.
Senator Orrin Hatch said the plan appeared to be more about redistribution and class warfare.
And certainly the Republicans have the power to vote these proposals down.
But here’s the trap: Democrats would like nothing more than the Republicans to be perceived as the “party of no” – rejecting plans to help the 99% of Americans.
President Obama is in his final two years of office and has fought his last election.
This state of the Union speech is about burnishing his legacy – but also framing the terms of debate for the next presidential election
Wish someone could explain to me
1. why the dems didn’t have PBO front & center at the last election
2. How the GOP could ever win an election with this guy as President
And I guess it relates to the media working overtime for the RWNJs – supporting idiots so they can look superior
People never know what good they have – until it is gone
If you ever read politico’s comments you will read why……murikins are lazy & stupid. Don’t want a vote would rather whine if they ain’t getting nuttin out of it. They have the I got mines attitude.
I thought Brad’s comment was hilarious. Haters are gonna hate so just in case they (haters) were missing anything the first time…POTUS said it a second time. Now, let the healing begin.
I loved it. hahahahahahaahahaha My hope is that Brad was joking and if not he should be deemed a whiner.
Roger Simon writes a trite essay. While he’s not the worst of the media in this he’s definitely part of the problem by trivializing the President’s thoughts.
Mitt Romney have some dam nerve. The American people have told him twice that they didn’t want him as their President, but Mitt refuse to listen to us. He think the White House is owed to him and Ann. It’s their birth right. Three strikes and you are out Mitt. So let me speak about another loser tonight, how the hell did that Ernst woman win in Iowa? I have to wonder about the people of Iowa.
I must admit, I didn’t watch a second of Joni Ernst. Was she better then Rubio? On a scale of 1 to 10, how did she do tonight? Anyone who watch her be fair, okay.
Every time I retweet from TOD, I’m getting a Twitter suggestion to follow this “@null.” WTF?!?!?…. I’m tired of Twitter trying to shove @null down my throat…
Nerdy Wonka: your tweets of the speech in the moment were magnificent. Incredible and worthy. Shared the jewels widely with the world, on time. And these, wonderful. The one that nearly caused me to fall out of my chair snorting and hooting with laughter? “….We won World War II…” Oh mercy.
i call b.s. on joni “loves cha-ching” bread bags story. i lived a portion of my childhood in a snowy winter climate. my mom used plastic bags on the *inside* of our boots, over the socks only, since you still want the traction of the boot sole, but keep your socks and feet dry when you got to school. if you put the bag over the boot, as joni suggested, you’d be slipping and sliding constantly. wouldn’t work. since she’s a republican, it’s not a surprise she would be lying about this, and everything for that matter.
Yes it was inapppropriate but more importantly it was a lie. Joni Ernst was born in 1970, which makes her 44 going on 45. She probably started school between 1975-1976. Let’s say she started usng bread bags at age 10, That would mean 1980-1981. They had programs as early as the seventies to help needy children. She could have gotten shoes from any number of social welfare clubs, Kwanis, Elks, Eastern Star or social welfare programs like Goodwill or Salvation Army. It’s probably a story her mother told her about her own childhood. Bottom line? Ernst is lying.
Yup, idon, I think you’re right about that. I didn’t listen to her but from Twitter I understand she said she wore the bread bags on the outside which is insane – no one did that. So she got her mother’s story wrong.
Great commentary and tweets and pics from everyone. Missed SOTU the first time…. 2 emergencies in a row but got to see it fully later. SOTU speech was unbelievably good and forceful and pointed and inclusive. Bases full- home run Mr. President.
This is unbelievable! Alabama Dekalb County School Superintendent Hugh Taykir denied transportation for history club that wanted to attend showing of SELMA because of profanity. School is predominantly black. Now mind you, Hugh probably comes from a long line of KLANNIES who used some of this same profanity on a regular basis to refer to African Americans, in addition to the cross burning, terrorizing blacks attempting to register to vote, and the lynchings. This is racist George Wallace’s Alabama http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026103727
SO PROUD OF MY ENERGIZER,EQUALIZER PRESIDENT…..MORPHED CONGRESS INTO A GATHERING OF MAALOX MOMENTS….ME..I FELT AT PEACE…………………ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!
Oh he was magnificent! Computer problems last night (and hopefully NOT today) so had to watch all alone last night without my TOD. POTUS was/ is the best thing that happened to this country.. watching him, listening to him is better than the best movie anyone could make. He IS an actual hero and I pity anyone who doesn’t get it. Good Wednesday morning TOD.. smilin’ my way through this day 🙂 Thank you President Obama!
Today is the swearing in of the new repub governor of Maryland.. makes me sick. This state is going to go down hill fast, the only saving grace is that the Congress is still dem. Cannot understand what folks here were thinking.
The Obama Diary 
Hi.

Thank you Nerdy!
You’re welcome, NCLB.
Thanks for your labors of love, on behalf of the President and TOD!
You’re welcome, Ms. J’OB.
FLOTUS’ dress has already sold out…. 🙂 🙂
What do they mean by “Sold Out”?
No more left in stock because people rushed to buy it after seeing FLOTUS wearing it at the #SOTU…. 🙂
Wow FLOTUS
I think FLOTUS beats the Oprah now… 🙂 🙂 🙂
🙂
For a very long time now 😀

Bravo! Thanks Bill!

question is are the boneless dems hearing the framing?

I see that Rev AL was not on the MSNBC panel..interesting
He was.
ok…i missed him
First half -hr to hour after the speech, he was there. Not sure about before since I wasn’t near tv, but he was there afterwards for sure.
arrogant – white speech for uppity
I thought Brad’s comment was hilarious. Haters are gonna hate so just in case they (haters) were missing anything the first time…POTUS said it a second time. Now, let the healing begin.
I loved it. hahahahahahaahahaha My hope is that Brad was joking and if not he should be deemed a whiner.
Awesome collection for tonight Nerdy!
Just sent the top one to f&f for a laugh. Why didn’t I think of that?
O.k. folks, I hate to leave the TOD party tonight, but I have to fold clothes, eat and go to bed early so I can get my tire fixed tomorrow.
Love to all!
Thanks, MadameSoph.

SOTU was so fine…
Even the Mayo Clinic’s blood is flowing from that awesome #SOTU address….
Mitt Romney have some dam nerve. The American people have told him twice that they didn’t want him as their President, but Mitt refuse to listen to us.

Didn’t watch her. I am waiting for the SNL replay.
😀 !!
okay you dropped the mic on that one
Every time I retweet from TOD, I’m getting a Twitter suggestion to follow this “@null.” WTF?!?!?…. I’m tired of Twitter trying to shove @null down my throat…
We’ve been chatting that up for a few days, and Chips is aware of it. I feel like this “null” thingie is sucking our brains. #Kidding
Hahaha…okay glad that it wasn’t just me…hopefully it will be resolved soon! 🙂 🙂
Omg, I’m not the only one. wtf is this null thingie, some kind of a hack, perhaps?
That’s what I’m sorta thinking, but who knows! Notice “it” has 39K followers or something … wtf. Shows up blocked but …
yep it’s very strange ~
Nerdy Wonka: your tweets of the speech in the moment were magnificent. Incredible and worthy. Shared the jewels widely with the world, on time. And these, wonderful. The one that nearly caused me to fall out of my chair snorting and hooting with laughter? “….We won World War II…” Oh mercy.
THIS!
Thanks, Nancie.
What a moment!
PERFECTION…JUST LOOK AT RUSTY’S FACE..BET HE WISHES HE COULD LOCK THOSE LIPS ONTO A TIGHT BOURBON ABOUT NOW!
I didn’t know that Mitt Rmoney had an opinion to offer at this late hour.
I am shocked that mittbot is shocked at taxes.
I am shocked that you are shocked. 🙂
It was a six foot squirrel shock, I tellzya.
You betcha.
I am shocked that Mittsy is talking about taxes after his 47% blunder.
I am shocked that Mittsy is even leaving his home after his last campaign.
That’s because Mittens does pay no stinking taxes….. 🙂
There is no bigger political clown than Mitt Romney.
He’s stuck. Still thinks he’s running against PBO. All of them do. 😀
My stomach hurts from laughing so hard at these tweets! Thank you so much Nerdy! 😀
You’re welcome, Dudette.
This one is a dreamer, not the kind immigration can help. He needs Obamacare to cure him from his misguided daydreams.
Love the roundup, NW! Nobody does it better — both you and our President! 😉
Thanks, PJ.
this one needs to be seen by every american.
ernst was in 1970 and it is very unlikely she wore bread bags as shoes. Her mother could have purchased used for at a thriftshop. I think she’s lying
ernst was BORN in 1970
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
This is almost as good as binder full of women. hahahahahahahaha
One of the best lines of the night, paraphrased: Let’s aim higher on infrastructure than a single pipeline. YES, Mr. President!
so, did any of the ‘news’ media carry the other goopper clowns’ show? I thought they supposed to be a half dozen of these nutters.
EXCELLENT posts, NW!!
I watched the speech on MSNBC but switched to Criminal Minds immediately afterward. 😁
Thanks, pickle48.
ha! he has been storming the reddest of the red areas recently. love our president!!
Badass-in-Chief!

I agree. I grew up in Kansas and we put them over our socks inside our boots. She’s crazy.
Yup, these GOPers are such bad liars.
😀 😀 😀

Excuse the expression, but liberals are so fucking creative and innovative! LMAO!
🙂
#TrustBarack …. or at least have enough sense of self-preservation to get out of the way ….
good night TOD
‘Nite Bob!
Did Count Knoller switch employers?
Ha! I was thinking a similar thing … who cares how many minutes it took? Substance, baby!
Vicki mentioned this song from the Selma movie earlier this evening!
Good Night Everyone! Tomorrow the great work begins! 🙂
Great commentary and tweets and pics from everyone. Missed SOTU the first time…. 2 emergencies in a row but got to see it fully later. SOTU speech was unbelievably good and forceful and pointed and inclusive. Bases full- home run Mr. President.
Glad you got over your emergencies and were able to end the evening on a good (excellent) note! Good night!
