Yay liberal policies!
Obama is so fucking progressive.
Spoilers?
if you squint the black man is sitting in the back row.
Boehnerface: "No chance."
Early childhood education is good, but there should not be a "race to the top" in ECE. It's not a fucking competition as to whose kid can read letters first. Kids develop differently, and at different times.
Read along!
CBS is showing this in a shot wide enough to see his royal orange mug
you'll be given cushy jobs!
Also, all this talk about development in Africa is making me think you might really have been born in Kenya!! Way to bring home the pork, POTUS!!
Mental health care for Veterans? How about unlocking the research MAPS is doing into MDMA and cannabis therapy for PTSD? Ok, enough acronyms for now...
Did the President announce our troops are home and there is a $15/hour minimum wage?
...
Why not?
@ 77 God you are no better than the ring wingers, Wall street hates him.
God gives gifts like Down Syndrome. This is why I say "hasa diga eebowai".
I certainly didn't feel like Europe was "following our lead."
And somebody needs to investigate "Betty in Spokane"
WHAT THE FUCK
HASA DIGA EEBOWAI
Water and electricity are white man's medicine.
I liked the lady who gave the official Republican response. She opened by saying that Republicans had a bunch of better proposals to fix what Obama messed up...and then told a nice story about her life. The whole time I was thinking, "okay, were you going to mention any of those policies?"
She represents the fringe element of the GOP and, sadly, is attached to our state. She's trying to climb the ladder so be prepared to see her smug mug even more in coming months. Stay tuned.
a far far better speech would have had less resemblance to a hodgepodge list of policy proposals and more resemblance to an explanation as to WHY we are seeing the middle and working class decline, a story in plain terms, like a fdr fireside chat, assigning moral blame to the bad actors who're causing it. like the recent seattle times article, he just seems to think "it just happened" when in fact it's the direct result of republican policies pushed by them and largely acquiesced in by the democrats over the last thirty years. until he directly says "the market won't get you livable wages, it doesn't work" and "they cut your min wage 30% since 1968 -- deliberately -- just like they did dereg which caused the financial meltdown, and they busted unions and took apart the new deal" -- it won't be a great speech. how is it that he can't bring himself to explain WHY we have greater income inequality? they act like it's a spell ofbad weather or it's globalization or other anonymous forces. it's not. it's due to politics and policies emanating from the gop and also, from the dems. this speech has zero moral resonance, and fosters zero water cooler chat and what we need is a good old fdr type speech that builds enmity of his enemies which he can welcome because THAT is what makes a speech good:
villains. enemies of the people. and us, as heros, together. income inequality isn't an accident of nature and he oughta stop acting like it is.
Everything that guy just said was bullshit.
*pauses*
Thank you.
