This is how they did it in Rome, this is how we should do it today. I can't wait for the Games to begin.

Typical.
For reference, the clown on the right is NOT a democrat.
edit..it would've been great theater if the republican would've thrown the guy off the roof.

In fact, I did not watch the State Of The Union. I was in transit that night.
But at a certain point it's irrevalent. The State Of The Union speech is the same no matter who gives it - It talks about past accomplishments, future hopes and plans, and of course some exaggerations. The Democrats hear what they want to hear and the Republicans hear what they want to hear; They all hear the same exact speech yet walk away with something totally different.
Our best bet is to ignore the speech and then read the results the day after. His prior speech had an overall 53% approval rating, where as this one the other night had a 44%. That says a lot.
What did his speech say? That he's tired of fucking around with Congress? Congress has the lowest approval rating in my lifetime, isn't getting anything done when we need them the most, and instead is putting all of their effort into fighting a bill that is already a law. Come on already, stop playing fucking games.
When you aren't a Republican or a Democrat, you don't see things from one point of view - and it's fucking funny. Republicans keep complaining - Republicans are complaining that a Democratic president can't fix a Republican problem with a Republican Congress. Really? Meant time, unemployment is down to 6.7% and dropping, and just yesterday there was a report that our economy grew 3.4% last quarter alone. Who do you think you are fooling?
