Obama's Last State Of The Union Viewership Dips In Early Numbers
2016-01-14
[DEADLINE] With all of the Big 4 running it live, the very last State of the Union address of Barack Obama’s presidency saw jokes and barbs about those running to succeed him, a call to cure cancer, pleas to pass the big Pacific Rim trade deal and Paul Ryan’s debut in the Speaker’s chair over POTUS’ shoulder. Overall, the President also offered an optimistic assessment of the nation in his just over an hour speech but the incumbent conceded he hadn’t been able to overcome the harsh bipartisan battles that have characterized his term in office.
I saw a few minutes of it. The man's voice makes my skin crawl.
You're a brave man. A few minutes is a few minutes more than I could possibly stand...
I boycotted the entire address, but it's not just the voice.

#8  51% of those who vote, whether they are registered or not, citizen or illegal, alive or dead, no matter how many times they vote.

#7  you can't fool all of the people all of the time.

Fortunately, in democracy, you only need to fool 51%.

#6  You can fool some of the people all of the time but you can't fool all of the people all of the time.

Obama has rewritten that little bit of wisdom in a most perverse manner. He fooled enough of the people enough of the time. Can't give him all the credit though. He had a lot of help from MSM and a complicit gang of Republicans.

And, yes, there are those of us who find that unbearable to watch no matter how much whiskey we drink.

#5  I survived the drinking game, but not by much. Of course, I was using O'Doul's.

Optimistic doesn't mean the same to him as it does to me. He should have said something more like "We suck the least right now."

#4  I was playing the POTUS Strawman drinking game. My liver broke about 10 minutes in and I had to quit

#2  I can't stand anything about him or his administration. Whenever I hear him or see him, even in a 10 second spot on ESPN, I feel nauseated.

This regime is the antithesis of anything remotely American as I was raised to understand and love it.

I'm currently trying to avoid an ulcer thinking about what horrors he can inflict this year.

#1  I watched the whole thing so that as it ended I could celebrate a milestone on the way to the bammer's exit, stage right. I actually thought that as I tuned it in.

That man is living in an alternate universe. You can fool some of the people all of the time but you can't fool all of the people all of the time.
