8. Did Cantor at least stand for that? (The military support)

[livetohike]

10. Is Boehner glued to his seat? N/t

[llmart]

15. I have never seen a more lifeless dummy....

at the SOTU speech.

[ladym55]

11. Boehner can't even stand at bringing home the troops????

Seriously? Or is he so wasted he's afraid he'll fall over if he stands up?

[SummerSnow]

12. I bet everyone in that audience is naked to Boner

[livetohike]

[ChangeUp106]

21. They wouldn't do much anyway

[BeyondGeography]

18. McCain, not radiating wisdom

[llmart]

from the look on his face.

[SummerSnow]

34. He's thinking about who might be on his lawn now

[8 track mind]

20. Boner is such a little asshole n/t

[Snarkoleptic]

23. Bill Maher just tweeted...

important to remember what Prez Romney wld be saying: ditch health care, gut EPA, fuck the takers

[Boomerproud]

54. And the Goppers and the RW media would be yelling Yessssssss!

and the rest of us "losers" could just go away.

[struggle4progress]

24. "we counter terrorism not just through intelligence and military action, but by remaining true

to our Constitutional ideals, and setting an example"

[BelgianMadCow]

45. ...like spying on everyone indiscriminately for no reason...

sorry, talk is cheap, even when it's very very well done.

[struggle4progress]

59. I expect that metadata fight will be won, too, but it won't be done without careful analysis

and hard work: your approach simply won't win it

[NCarolinawoman]

25. Boner looks mad that we can't have endless war. n/t

[BeyondGeography]

26. Menendez looked obstinate re. Iran

[ladym55]

27. I now wonder

if the BOehner will face plant on the desk before the speech is over. It looks like staying vertical is getting to be a challenge

[dhill926]

36. Almost there Mr. Speaker....

C'mon...you can make it!

[TheDonkey]

28. Rethugs look pissed.

Obama has been blazing through a grab bag of progressive action and Boehner is nervously fidgeting .

[msanthrope]

31. They look they they are sucking lemons...nt

[SummerSnow]

35. they just suck

[msanthrope]

29. Resolve Iran WITHOUT the risks of war! nt

[ChangeUp106]

30. Ukraine mention!

Been following the events on the Reddits. Nice shout-out.

[Coyotl]

32. Good luck finding a decent candidate, Republicans. Beat this hurdle!

Obama sets the bar really high.

[edhopper]

33. Bohner

looks like he is trying to hold in a fart.

[llmart]

38. He is rather anal retentive...

n/t

[GoCubsGo]

41. More like trying to force one out.

Consider who is next to and in front of him... I wouldn't put it past him.

[flamingdem]

37. Bring home the Gold!

This a Gold Medal sotu

[ladym55]

39. Are we all standing for the vets?

Sure hope so

[ChangeUp106]

42. So sad

[BeyondGeography]

43. That look he gave his Dad...

[llmart]

44. Ok..this is ending with a tear jerker...

moment.

[dhill926]

46. Powerful moment....

Wow!

[morningfog]

47. Ugh. Using this 10 deployment serviceman as a applause line is sad.

10 deployments. That is a point of pride? It is a point of shame for the Commander in Chief that anyone has been sent to war that often under his watch.

Shameful.

[llmart]

50. Wow....

some people can rain on any parade.

What the hell is wrong with honoring this man? How negative can you get?

[morningfog]

60. 10 deployments! He hasn't been honored. He's been used

and abused. No person should ever be put through that. Especially not for these bullshit wars.

[llmart]

72. So you think the vets should just be ignored?

Would that make you happy? Why shouldn't he be invited and honored?

If this veteran felt "used and abused" he could have declined the invitation.

[lonestarnot]

51. And I still blame the son of a bitches who lied us into that bullshit!

[mrgorth]

52. Agreed.(nt)

.

[avebury]

56. The 10 deployments line was what caught me

the most. It is obscene that he was deployed that many times in this day in age.

[dflprincess]

67. Thank you.

There was no reason for us not to pull out of the Afghanistan debacle long before anyone got anywhere near 10 deployments and now this administration talks of staying there longer.

And for all the applause they're giving that young man now, every single one of them who has an "R" after their name will vote to cut his benefits the first chance they get.

[all american girl]

71. Wasn't that the whole point of pointing out the soldier and not to go to the war whenever the

McCains Get a bee in their bonnet?

[spanone]

48. wow...

[femmocrat]

58. Wow indeed.

I'm not a softie by any means, but that has me wiping tears away. Powerful ending.

[spanone]

66. ...

[global1]

49. I Can't Help Not To Think That Many Of Those People In That Room Put Cory.....

in harms way because of their votes. Really 10 deployments - that's too much to ask of anyone. One deployment is too much.

[Coyotl]

53. Like fine wine, better each year.

The Republicans wish they had one speaker like this!

[msanthrope]

55. Drop the fuckin' mic! nt

[mrgorth]

65. LMAO!

Totally should've.

[Little_Wing]

57. Oh they all stand and clap

and yet never hesitate to send off the next batch of boys to take the place of the wounded and fallen. When will they ever learn? asked Pete.

[struggle4progress]

61. !

[longship]

62. Tammy Duckworth!!!

Camera panned on her during Obama's dedication.

Love her. And love the flourish with which he completed his SOTU.

[Snarkoleptic]

63. Bill Maher just tweeted this about the chickenhawks...

they cheer for the wounded warriors, but they don't feel bad enough about starting wars of choice

[morningfog]

69. And Dems don't feel bad enough to end them.

[ChangeUp106]

64. That was great

I'm thankful Obama is our President. I believe he believes what he talked about. He just needs to find the right way to go about accomplishing those goals.

Let him get it right this time.

[Cleita]

68. Am I in error but isn't there supposed to be colors? You know reps from

All branches of the military marching in with banners to music? Or is that other occasions? Seems like GWB always had the ceremony going on every time he farted.

[avebury]

70. Time to turn the TV off now.

I don't have the stomach to listen to the numerous Republican responses. It is a testament at how poor the Republican/Tea Party crowd is that they have to produce numerous rebuttal speeches. They have no one that can speak on the same level as the President.

[greytdemocrat]

73. Way too long...nt

[Coyotl]

74. Twitter search for #SOTU pics
