We face big and difficult challenges. And what the American people hope – what they deserve – is for all of us, Democrats and Republicans, to work through our differences; to overcome the numbing weight of our politics. For while the people who sent us here have different backgrounds and different stories and different beliefs, the anxieties they face are the same. The aspirations they hold are shared. A job that pays the bill. A chance to get ahead. Most of all, the ability to give their children a better life.

You know what else they share? They share a stubborn resilience in the face of adversity. After one of the most difficult years in our history, they remain busy building cars and teaching kids; starting businesses and going back to school. They are coaching little league and helping their neighbors. As one woman wrote to me, “We are strained but hopeful, struggling but encouraged.”

It is because of this spirit – this great decency and great strength – that I have never been more hopeful about America’s future than I am tonight. Despite our hardships, our union is strong. We do not give up. We do not quit. We don’t allow fear or division to break our spirit. In this new decade, it’s time the American people get a government that matches their decency; that embodies their strength. And tonight, I’d like to talk about how together, we can deliver on that promise.

Finally, an Obama thread that's actually board-relevant. I expect it to be ruined before the address begins.

Who cares what he says? The Right will still do anything they can to hate on him, the Left will still do nothing to help him, and nothing will change because everyone is too scared to stir the pot and lose their seat this coming election.

>>32965
To hear what he has to say.

Washington (CNN) -- President Obama will ask Congress Wednesday night to repeal the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy that bars gays and lesbians from openly serving, White House Senior Adviser David Axelrod told CNN.

The request will be included in the president's State of the Union address, Axelrod said.

The issue has been a source of contention for heavy hitters on both sides of the issue, who are lining up for a fight.

http://edition.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/01/27/obama.gays.military/index.html

>>32982
Yeah everyone needs to know what he says so they can not give a shit and spin it to what their target audience wants to hear tomorrow.

http://rawstory.com/news/afp/Yes_we_beer_can_US_abuzz_with_State_01272010.html

This year, "hope" and "change" both require a swig of something, as do mentions of Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran or Pakistan.

"Let me be clear" and "make no mistake" get a shot each, and if Obama references problems that his administration inherited, players drink a shot of something aged.

Drinks are also required if the camera zooms in on someone.

A camera shot of First Lady Michelle Obama earns a jigger, and if the camera shows the first lady's well-cut arms, players take another step towards getting well-cut themselves, in both meanings of the word, because that shot of hooch has to be delivered using a bicep curl.

If Obama mentions the word "stimulus", you drink an espresso -- which might be welcome relief after the shot downed for "reform", the shot taken without moving any facial muscles if the camera zooms in on House of Representatives speaker Nancy Pelosi, or the shot if Obama introduces a special guest.

Initially inspired by former president George W. Bush's unique use of the English language, the cue words are revised every year and posted on the web at www.drinkinggame.us.

Two years ago -- the last time the State of the Union drinking game was held -- Americans bade farewell to the word 'nukular', the Bushism for nuclear, downing a shot when Bush said it -- that way -- in the speech.

Nukular didn't make it onto this year's list, because Obama doesn't say it. Gone, too, this year are mentions of "God" or any euphemism for God, which would have earned you two drinks under Bush, "water-boarding", "Guantanamo", and any mention of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

In are mentions of either Bill or Hillary Clinton, the Copenhagen climate summit and the expression "through no fault of their own" if Obama is talking about unemployment.

The latter only earns a shot for any of the millions of Americans who are out of a job and happen to be playing.

Look at this charade. We are so beyond fucked

>introduce Obama's cabinet
>as Eric Holder walks in, clearly says "yo man! what it do!" to someone in the crowd

This man should be giving the state of the union speech instead.

ahh! much nicer drinking game rules. thank you, anon.

That bald dude announcing everyone should have had a trumpet.

Madame Speakaaaah

>inb4 people start calling Obama a nigger

over/under on nigger in this thread is 25. Place your bets

also the time I've said it do count

>>33146
actually i think as long as you are talking about the betting, it shouldnt count. besides, people can modify it themselves by posting nigger alot.
for example:

>>This man should be giving the state of the union speech instead.

More like "State of his daughters' undress," AMIRITE?

i lost much fiath in obama, but figure it that mccain could not have done any better had he won the election.

"YOU LIE ! "

Obama is a shill. Keep answering to the NWO and federal reserve you puppet.

i want some lulz already. this is boring

this is boring, you can better, obama

He saved ameruka - look at him.

New world order puppet

I heard he's going to reveal the truth about the aliens.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

STOP WITH THE FUCKING APPLAUDING LIKE A BUNCH OF STALINBOTS, BITCHES

INB4 insinuating global unity, unity of races and genders how wonderful america is, how the war is peace, how socialism is wonderful, how the government gave money in haiti people not realising it's actually their money which the government has no business of doing this. etc etc

>Root canal

YOU LIE!

What bank bailout? They were given loans that they had to pay back, they didn't get free money they could keep. And the government made money off those loans.

This is phony and disturbing

What a complete and utter failure

That bank plan is the most retarded bullshit to come out of his mouth this month.

> the Banks should pay us back!

> Republicans stay seated.

Good work guys, classy.

I HATED IT

>>33427
Justify your statements.

a short tl;dr until now for a germanfag plz?

>I thought I'd get some applause on that one.

DONT STOP CLAPPING HE IS SO WONDERFUL OMG I'M SPRYING CUM EVERYWHERE!!

>>33461
This is the first State of the Union address you've seen huh?

Bullshit statistics are bullshit.

Obama's words are ideal and inspirational but nothing will come out of it. His recovery act stimulus did nothing.

>>33452
Every year the president addresses the nation on all "major" tv stations. It's just our president saying everything is under control, and sucking up to potential naysayers. Then there is a counter argument by the party with lesser members in congress.

hope the helps

ALL LADIES IN THE ROOM GO BLOW HIM AS HE'S TALKING OH LOOK AT HIM. HE'S SENDING PEOPLE TO WAR SPREADING DEMOCRACY. OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA!

>>33458

Did someone from the left yell 'you lie' at that point?

They should have

>>33401

er, those banks should have been able to save themsleves when they failed to remain solvent. if my plumbing business goes under, uncle sam doesnt bail me out, i should have saved up for a rainy day. these banks didnt do such things, and were ungrateful for the "loan" the american people. did you just see all those smug republicans ?

Jesus christ, do you think that the president of the United States can give Police officials some respect? Is Obammy just a nigger?

As america falls into deeper darkness. Sin never ending, embroidering. Lift your chin up america. Spread your empire to more nations.

Is there an old man sleeping in the audience? Every time the camera pans by him, he's looking at his shoes.

>>33536
Agreed. It was a necessary evil.

>30BILLION DOLLAR MOAR OMG CLAP CLAP CLAP YES ANOTHER LOAN MORE DEBTS

PIGS

>>33551
Maybe he's dead?

>>33544
I call them cops.
There's a TV show about them called cops.
My cop uncle calls himself a cop.
This is widely accepted, non-insulting slang used by people from every level of society. People like you would've complained the same if he's said "Police officers," and claimed he was being uppity. Piss off.

Republicans didn't stand for tax cuts.
I lol'd.

>>33589
Maybe.
Also, there's some chick wearing what looks like a uniform from Star Trek: TNG.

Did he just say eliminate capital gains taxes when investing in small business?

>>33532

He tells inspirational stories that are result of him and how he's cutting taxes for the real "working" americans. Now he wants to introduce a new job bill so we can actually work. Also wants to use our money to help small businesses now.

Everyone on left is clapping because of how inspirational he sounds giving the poor money. So they are just clapping to make him sound good. He's oozing "hope" and "confidence" because that's what they want us to think.

is anyone else creeped out by the fact that you can only see pelosi's mouth hovering at the top of the screen?

>>32932
lol trolled

>>33598
At this point, the Republicans have stopped being a political party about conservative values, and started just being "anti-democrats." He could call for free ice cream and they'd complain about it being too cold.

YES FUCKING TRAINS FASTER THAN CHINA AMERICA IS WELL OFF LETS DO IT. OH YES FAKE ENVIRONMENTALISM PROPAGANDA OH YES MOAR MOAR

Britfag here, do they have to clap at the end of every sentence?

I love Obama and everything but can't they wait until the end and then clap?

This shit is hilarious, it's like watching some kind of football game with cheering and everything.

>>33576
Just like when we did that during the beginning of the Bush administration. BRILLIANT

Taxing companies that outsource- why aren't the Republicans supporting this?

Why are they clapping for him in mid-thought?

>>33643
Why does your parliament yell at each other like 4th graders?

so the socialism increases by giving more of the tax money to 'small' business

this is so fucking phony and removed from the everyday reality of americans

what a crock of fucking bullshit we bought

Who the fuck is this guy? I didn't know america had a king. You're the commander of the army nothing more. You have no rights to spend people's money and dictate your goals to America. Fucking socialist message. Bigger and bigger government.

i heard he's gonna reveal the truth about the jews

>>33643
Not as bad as the late night comedy called British parliament

>>33651 see >>33633

I hope for America that Ron Paul runs in 2012

>>33648
>implying the bush administration was fiscally conservative and reduced the federal government

>>33692
Your complete and total lack of understanding of the American political system leads me to believe you must've been raised in Soviet Russia.

>>33692

Obama needs to stop talking shit and just get to the fucking point.

NO 2ND PLACE!!!

You hear that all you other countries???

This speech is a game-changer. You can already tell.

I wonder if Obama's teleprompter says [HOLD FOR APPLAUSE] after every sentence.

This shit is ridiculous.

Also, I hope someone shoots Pelosi the next time she hops up and applauds. Possibly Biden.

>>33643
We find it boring because every time Parliament sits it's basically like this, American's rarely get "Question time" or the leader addressing everyone live in their senate, unlike systems that use Westminster that basically get it every single week.

i'm not familiar with anything political yet I'm watching this right now and have no fucking clue why I hear various people shouting "yay!" in the background.

are they really shouting yay? why the fuck are they shouting yay? wtf is with all the applause anyway? what the fuck does that do? home field advantage? why hasn't a lady politician thrown her bra at him yet?

WHY IS THE GUY OVER THE PRESIDENT'S SHOULDER MAKING A FACE AS A IF THE NOTRE DAME COACH JUST LET RUDY IN THE GAME?!?!?

WERE THEY CHANTING "BRAVEHEART" JUST NOW?!

WTF?!!?!?!??

>>33692
Jesus christ, are you fucking deluded? By your logic, FDR, LBJ, many previous presidents are "socialists". He's the head of the executive of the American government.

Do you even know what socialist means? It means redistributing wealth, not increasing people's liberty.

Socialism doesn't even fucking exist in America.

>>33739
Yeah. This is going to get really wild.

>>33737
>durrrrr, just by sayin things we can make m tru

HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA, JUST LIKE HEALTH CARE AMIRITE

>>33744
You realize that every State of the Union address in modern times has been like this, right? Where were your complaints when Bush's Legion of Doom hopped up and clapped like idiots after everything he stuttered out?

>>33764
True but we can still comment.

>>33747
If you don't understand politics, shut the fuck up and go back to school and take a class in it then.

There are political lines and ideologies being drawn here that you know nothing about. Subtle manipulations and a war of ideals going on here.

It may sound pretentious, but welcome to politics.

YES. THANK YOU

goddamn it though he's fucking right...

Are you making fun of my comment?

>We need to export more of our goods.

>IMPLYING AMERICA HAS ANYTHING TO EXPORT AT A CHEAPER RATE THAN CHINA

how the hell is obama going to double exports?

>>33799
The clapping means something. Who stands? How enthusiastically do they clap? It's theater, but it's also an indication of things to come.

Man this shit sure is boring.

Why is Nancy smiling so fucking much?

>>33754
dumbass. The government taking people's money and spending it under the pretext of helping the Americans or others is socialism. It's not what they are put in office to do. Whether it be healthcare or schools or giving money to haiti or the man made climate change bullshit, also now he's speaking of taking loans for small businesses.

Don't be a dummy

WORKERS OF AMERICA: BREAKS OVER!

>>33892
It's a generic show of support; but it's the way things have always happened. Bitching about it now, when it's gone on so long, seems...well, generically anti-democrat instead of pro-anything.

>>33887

so taxes, something adam smith had no problem with, is socialism?

>>33932

hahahaha

Oh wait you were serious. Let me laugh harder

HAHAHAAAAHA

>they will be required to pay only ten percent of their income on student loans, and all of their debt will be forgiven after twenty years – and forgiven after ten years if they choose a career in public service.
WAT

>>33932
What you consider socialism is what is commonly known by the rest of the world as "the center ground".

You're fucking batshit insane if you think minimal tax is socialism.

>>33895
Welcome to politics. The thing is that a lot of these statements are loaded, and you're hearing about what's going to happen over the next year. You just have to follow it for awhile to pick up on it.

my god, we are so beyond boned. at least bush wasn't a hypocrite

Man... they way he keeps saying "Math and Science" makes me feel bad I focused on English and "Arts" in highschool...

STOP CLAPPING AND LET HIM TALK, JESUS CHRIST

As a college student, I'm all for the family tax credit and bigger grant. Effing need it.

Wait, what are we gonna export?

Biden looks just like Sam the Eagle.

>>33932
I love how in America, the word "socialist" is like some kind of insult.

CUT OUT THE MIDDLEMAN AND JUST HAVE THE GOVERNMENT GIVE OUT ALL STUDENT LOANS

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAcoughcoughblargh +_+

>>33998
he just incentivized a shit ton of jobs, creating a shit ton of consumers

>>34005
Well, in all honestly, she's probably heard about a dozen versions of the speech, so she knows exactly what's going to be said.

CLAP FOR WHAT YOU REJECTED

First lady lookin hawt in that dress

Self deprecating humor is the best humor.

This shit is hilarious. It's so informal and Obama is talking like he's addressing a room of old pals.

He's talking about a lot of tax cuts, but only one tax increase - the banks that took bailout money. I smell serious tax reform coming.

>>33966
>at least bush wasn't a hypocrite

He still fucked us over.

>closer than ever to install communism

well said, comrade!

>>33928

Too much brainpower and effort is made in this country to squeeze every single penny we can out of the sick... It's disgusting, it's immoral, and something must be fucking done. The only people who should be getting rich off of the sick is doctors. They deserve it. Lawyers, insurance agents...etc...etc they don't. It's simple.

>>34066
The constitution was never meant to be a permanent document; it's intended to change with the times. There's a reason it was written on paper instead of carved into stone.

he's going for the health insurance again...

>>34050
but he didn't

but LOL IM SO EDGY HATING GEORGE BUSH

Why do both parties blame the president for everything that goes wrong?

I mean really do you know how much power the senate and house have?

>>34124
Still in the minority.

>>34115

And apparently it's the plan that all doctors approve of!

LAST FIVE MINUTES WHAT DID I MISS

>>33951
Well, for myself, I agreed with just about everything Democrats said up until early 2008 when I turned 18. I live in Michigan, finding a Republican is as rare as seeing a deer in your backyard. So I had quite an influence of being a Liberal.
When I became 18 and had to study politics to make a smart choice in the polls of 2008, I actually learned that I disagreed with much of the Liberal agenda, nor did I like the Conservative one either. So I hate both parties and I'd prefer Libertarian.

>>34131
>Implying he is from /b/
>Implying he is trolling
>Implying you aren't from /b/ and uneducated

lol at republicans standing up and clapping at anything healthcare related

MASSIVE FISCAL HOLE

>>34137
Most constitutional defenders go on and on about deeper meaning of shit that's in the preamble and don't actually bother with the constitution itself, because it runs contrary to quite a bit of that liberty and pursuit of happiness shit.

dug by george

>>34112
>The constitution was never meant to be a permanent document

yes it was...That's the whole point of a constitution. If they amended it legally that's one thing, but most things are plainly illegal.

>>34131

A troll calling others out as the troll is a pretty advanced troll tactic. Kudos for all your accomplishments!

bush wasted our surplus ololololol.

But we took office amid a crisis, and our efforts to prevent a second Depression have added another $1 trillion to our national debt.

YEAH MAN STICK IT TO BUSH

"It was on fire when I lay down on it!"

>>34122
because he's supposed to alpha their asses like renegade Shepard and get shit done.

FUCKING PERSCRIPTION DRUGS

>Just stating the facts

Booooooo
He's right
BOoooooo

>>34112
This guy gets it. The Founding Fathers' design was brilliant, because it was meant to be flexible and idiot-proof. The first part has held, the second part, not so much, but we're still here, so that's something.

But at a time of record deficits, we will not continue tax cuts for oil companies, investment fund managers, and those making over $250,000 a year.

SHE NEEDS TO STOP STADING

Why are Americans such a bunch of whiney cunts? Obama is doing everything he can to help everyone in your country and the entire world and yet Americans hate him for it?

The fuck?

>>34112
Listen puppy, don't waste my time. The constitution wasn't meant to change with time. And changing the constitution requires an amendment. This is a document made by americans for them (the people) to describe the government they want to create for their society to prevent the tyranny they were just under overseas.

>>34215
inb4 racist

bush wasted our surplus ololololol.
>cutting government spending
I don't think so, tim.

not everyone, just really loud hypocritical republicans

I might believe that if he wasn't a puppet of the corn lobby.

Why don't we just send someone to the moon again? That shit worked awesome in 69!

YOU FAGS JUST GOT TOLD

>>34167
If they follow the legal process for changing things, it's constitutional. Living document, meant to be changed, etc. If you accepted the first part, you can't still go "It's unconstitutional!"
Not if it's made legal. The process of bills and amendments was always intended to fix things so the nation can work through any kind of situation, changing the government to fit what is needed, especially if the government was the source of the problem. A brief period of socialism for the common good would be well within the intended designs of the Constitution.

We had a majority in senate.
Democrats need to stop being a bunch of pussies and
GET SHIT DONE.
When I see those fuckers stand I just want to slap the shit out of them.
MAN UP FAGGOTS!

>>34263
I did a degree in American Studies, got a 1:1.

SURPLUS IN 90s GUYS LET ME GET MY TIME MACHINE

I like how, the president needs to use executive order to make a fucking comission to get government spending under control. Someone called parliament a bunch of shouting fourth graders when our senate and congress can't even agree to balance their checkbook.

>>34157

I went through the same thing but after about 24-25 I realized Libertarians were idiots too. I don't even know what I am anymore.

What is pay as you go?

Where does the Constitution reference the internet again?

BUSH
LAL

>>34294
Libertarians have too many crazies. Just call yourself independent.

Maybe instead of saying the constitution is changed or altered, you should all say we evolve the constitution to fit in with our current mind frame

>>34278
No it couldn't. They argued against a democracy. They didn't want majority rule. They wanted the rule of law and a limited government.

What's the point of the 10th Amendment?

>Stop lobbyists
THANKYOU OBAMA

YES

>HE'S JUST A HOLOGRAM YOU CAN SEE THE FLICKER

>Only 2 people stand

lol

Clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap

Fuck yes, call the lobbyists out on their shit.

Supreme Court just got a talking to.

Let's be friends.
We obviously have a deficit of trust.
SO GO ONLINE NOW.
AND LET'S BE BFF.

hahahahaha

suppreme court cunts

Supreme court is unimpressed.

Campaign finance reform is the silver bullet for all issues.

>>34309
That's how the budget works.

why are they clapping??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

That is one thing I agree with the president about, FUCK the supreme court on that decision (not that it really changed much, but still)

>Nancy reading a card

>"... you've just been poisoned."

>>34354
Purposefully vague text intended to say, "When you encounter a new situation, deal with it your way until a larger representative body can step in."

>>34385

They aren't supposed to show partisanship.

YOU GUYS SUCK, COME ON

STOP EARMARKING SHIT

A fucking men. I want to know what these fucknuts are earmarking on to bills.

>Website with spending

Hey that sounds good

LOL HE'S PUTTING IT ON THE INTERNET

wait didn't he something like that last year too? derp derp

>>34389
I concur.
That's how its been operating anyways.

lol, now he's saying what McCain was saying during the election even though he criticized McCain for it back then

Christ, the conservacunts and libertards are all fucking idiots.

Guys. Guys.
FIX EVERYTHING
>common sense

supreme court sure got told

>>34404
>The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

You can read what they intended to say, and it's pretty much what they wrote. They weren't retarded.

>>34427

Yeah, but it's like instead of jerking off under an overcoat they are now cumming on my face

>say that both sides are acting like asses
>republicans still don't clap
Assholes.

This is it... Bracing for epic...

>>34167
>>34278
Okay, I'm not gonna rage and explode in a million bits over trolls, you best be trolling. I will just say this because about 10% of me believes you're not the brightest candle on the cake and you're actually serious.

The constitution - to be amended requires a process. Socialism is a form of government and the constitution doesn't permit this. The president isn't a king. He cannot claim to do anything to help the people if the constitution doesn't permit him to. The founders recognized human corruption and this is why they made three branches of the government.

Hope.
Change.
Disappoint.

>>34460
They were vague. Purposefully vague. Vagueness has no place in written law.

protip: obama, call those blue dogs what they truly are.

lol republifags got TOLD

tl;dr of the last five minutes: Republicans need to stop being cunts.

FUCKING REPUBLICANS

DID YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT OBAMA JUST TOLD YOU?

I HOPE YOU FUCKING DID.

>>34508
>>34502
Fuck I was taking a piss.
What did he say?

>9/11
No presidential speech is complete without it.

>>34481
It's clear to me.

>>34525

Yeah, I missed it as well :c

>>34525
Did a big segment on how stopping progress because of personal problems is not leadership and does nothing to represent the people that put them in office. Called out both sides, but we all know which side has been doing it more.

>homeland security and torture
here we go...

The failed christmas attack? Some nigerian with OMFG

>>34525
Basically to stop being "Oppose everything the democrats do" party and start being leaders, since they insist on the 60 supermajority.

Basically, stop being cunts and going against everything he does just for short term political gains.

>>34508
>democrats have majority in the house and the senate

>herp derp teh republicans are blocking everyfink

Yeahhhh.... Knee jerk reaction terrorism attack talk

>>34525

Told the republicans "ok, so everything needs 60? Fine: you have to govern now too"

HAHA oh wow the military is just not clapping.

>>34294
>>34343

>>34157 is me
I certainly agree. Currently I associate myself with no party. I just realize I hold mostly Libertarian values. I'll vote for whomever holds values closest to mine. At the end of 2008, even though I disliked Obama, he actually had values closer to mine than McCain or other party leaders. I did vote for Obama but unfortunately if I could revote, I would change my vote.

The gentleman who said that Republicans have simply become "Anti-Democrats" is true to an extent. But unfortunately he forgot to say the same for Democrats. Remember at the end of 2008 how Dems spent the whole time stating McCain is just another term of Bush? The Democrats were fucking handed the Presidency in 2008 on a silver platter. Nearly everyone, Democrats and some Republicans, were pleading the Democratic party to fix problems caused by the previous administration.

>>34533
Don't be a cunt. Don't act uppity just because you disagree with the political leanings of others. It's vague. You know it, and I know it. The word of the law must be specific at all times. Anything less leads to chaos and needless arguments. The constitution is flaws, the bill of rights is flaws, and the founding fathers failed. We must change the government as a whole while attempting to retain our values.
Trash it all. Write a new one.

>end this war
halo 3: FINISH THE FIGHT.

He's an inspirational leader, you have to admit that. I believe he's the right man for the times. 7 years from now, he'll be viewed like Reagan, a transformational president.

ALL COMBAT TROOPS OUT OF IRAQ BY SEPTEMBER

>>34555
political gain, as in don't spend another trillion dollars because no one wants it. The Republicans have written bills, but of course the Democrats won't accept them.

Does Obama spray tan though?

I would just like to thank moot for /new/ again, it fucking rocked tonight :D

>>33873
Educate yourself: http://wattsupwiththat.com/

>"We will support the Iraqi government!"

George H. W. Bush (the first Bush) just had a heart attack.

Cause I'm pretty sure he's wearing spray tan.

>>34593
50 bucks says this won't happen

>>34580
The problem is that Democrats aren't anti-republicans, but a less focused group. Democrats have far less internal agreement, which made the super-majority seem more powerful than it really was. Dropping to 59 votes in the Senate was a good thing for the party, without the silly illusion, they have to actually work as a team.

>>34583
What is vague? They enumerate powers. They say don't do anything but these. They do things obviously not in the constitution. It's obviously illegal. What is hard to understand?

>>34630

1 trillion x the current deficit says this won't happen

>>34633
Seriously. Democrats are such fucking pussies.
Howard Dean.
Harry Reid.
John Kerry.
Barack Obama.
All of them. Fucking get shit done vaginas!

>securing nukes
hey everyone, give us all your nukes.

>>34597
You're forgetting that, earlier in the speech, the Republicans did not applaud the idea of taking away tax cuts for outsourcing companies, and shifting those tax cuts to companies that keep jobs here. What possible reason is there to oppose that policy?

>north korean sanctions
no! bad korea! no more dessert for you!

Great let's threaten iran again.

Republics are doomed because people want democracy.
Democracies are doomed because people are fickle.
Socialist states are doomed because the rich do not want to help anyone.
Communism was doomed because it requires altruists in positions of power, but the corrupt inevitably take control.
Anarchy is doomed because someone always has a bigger stick.
WTF are we going to do, guys?

>>34669

Give us your nukes, but we will gladly keep ours, bah...

I have to admit. /New/ is actually showing its true value tonight. Thanks, anon. You've made me laugh and have better hope for the future.

>>34680
To be edgy?

>>34680
because outsourcing helps American consumers more than it hurts American producers. Some of them actually understand economics.

> A key voting bloc within the Republican National Committee on Wednesday rejected the so-called "purity resolution" that would forbid party money from going to moderate GOP candidates. In a private meeting, the RNC's state chairman's committee voted unanimously to oppose the resolution, which would force GOP candidates to ascribe at least eight of 10 conservative principles, or else be cut off from RNC financial support. It was submitted this week by 10 committee members.

Essentially, Some republicans felt there was no room in their party for anything except the most extreme and unified members who refuse to compromise on anything.

lol republicans

>>34700

We just went from bio-terrorism to Haiti.
Wtf...

>>34693
Create a hivemind every human is connected to so lies cannot take place and everyone can understand each other through the hivemind.

>>33963

AHAHAHAHAHAHA I'M LOVING THE LOOK OF HATE/DISGUST/FEAR ON THE CONSERVATIVE FACES

equal pay laws

what a bunch of shit. Like they already don't earn the same.

>women getting equal pay
do the same amount of work as me and I'll have no problem with this. Until then, fuck you.

>>34719
>implying that sending jobs overseas helps the US economy
Yes, unemployment- that's what's going to fix our economy.

Thank you. God Bless You. And God Bless the United States of America.

Wait Obama is for making sure people are here legally? I thought he loved illegals and wanted to give each of them a million dollars and a handjob?!

How come Republicans weren't jumping up into the air and stroking their dicks when obama mentioned the borders?

*This is a fox headline* "and we begin with our top story, faggots in the military, doing faggotry"

GLENN BECK SAID 2010 WILL BE ABOUT IMMIGRATION SO DEMS CAN CALL REPUBLICANS RACIST

WILL HE BE CORRECT?

>>34739
how about no

>>34797

Not according to the butthurt feminists.

>>34719
I lol'd

Each time lobbyists GAME THE system we lose hope.

Equal pay for women?

What is the longest state of the union?

>Change
YYYYYYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>>34808
yes because if we keep outsourcing we'll have no jobs left, like when the cotton gin and steam engine were invented. Oh wait no we won't because that's stupid.

OBAMA DELIVERS!

>>34693
Uuh democracy with bits of socialism... Extravagant personal profit should not be made off of the sick....certain things that everyone needs should be socialist...other things should be free market...

>>34856

Hey why did you capa.... oh fuuuuu

>>34841
Yeah, if you didn't notice, Pelosi had a fucking orgasm face when Obama said equal pay for women.

>>34880
So the third world is our cotton gin?

'soup, folks?
Just wanted to take a moment to mention that the constitution was designed to protect individuals from large organizations. In the past this was foreign governments. In the present, it is corporations. Companies do not have the same rights as the individual, despite being made up of individuals. The government should have the right to step in, pimp slap them into order, or rip them apart if need be for the greater good.

>>34823
you're doublethink skills are ungood
