CNN: JC Watts rates SOTU speech ("Economy is clicking on all cylinders")

JC Watts
Republican strategist

Social issues: He addressed the issues without abandoning his values -- creating a culture of life, in terms of abortion, stem cells. I would've liked to have seen some preventive measures on health care... like rewarding people who are healthy, which saves the country tremendous amounts of money in the long term.

Economy: Tonight, he framed the agenda. Our economy is clicking on all cylinders. But it won't make a difference in Washington. He's got to get out and tout the positives... get into the heartland.

National Security: The president is also very much in his element in national security. The same traits and appeal that work for him on foreign affairs apply here.

Foreign affairs: That's the president's strength. The American people are very confident with the president in that area.

"A state of the union gives the president an opportunity to pivot. He took all the good news -- that we're winning in Iraq, that we haven't been hit since 9/11, that we have low unemployment and low inflation, that we collected $100 billion more in tax revenues than we expected. He's got to take those things, and make a case... This was an opportunity to put himself on the offensive."

1. is this for real ? this has got to be satire
rewarding people who are healthy ? what the fuck ? did all those children who suffer since childhood from things like cancer, diabetes etc a bunch of irresponsible people who are driving up the health care costs ? and disease is often the result of genetics and many people need health care because of some accident which wasn't their fault.

the rest of it sounds like something written by a grade school student.

2. JC Watts.........
there are so many things I could say about that man, but they'd all be cliches. How can he look in a mirror in the morning and not want to gouge his eyes out?

4. He just "follows the money"...
...come up with enough cash and you can get him to say anything.

Watts is absolutely the worst in his class...a "go-to" guy for Sean Hannity and his ilk (although that may no longer happen as he is on CNN's payroll)...

5. Hey JC Let Me Rebut You
Social issues: He addressed the issues without abandoning his values -- creating a culture of life, in terms of abortion, stem cells. I would've liked to have seen some preventive measures on health care... like rewarding people who are healthy, which saves the country tremendous amounts of money in the long term.

JC people do not give a shit about Bush's fucking values. He has no values except wealth just like you and your point about money for healthy people is fucking stupid. Next.


Economy: Tonight, he framed the agenda. Our economy is clicking on all cylinders. But it won't make a difference in Washington. He's got to get out and tout the positives... get into the heartland

JC that clicking you hear is the sound of somebody in the heartland starting up a tractor so they can mow that fucktard down. Next.

National Security: The president is also very much in his element in national security. The same traits and appeal that work for him on foreign affairs apply here.

JC you actually made some sense here, Bush is in his element, ELEPHANT SHIT. BTW he is hated as much abroad as he is here. Next.

Foreign affairs: That's the president's strength. The American people are very confident with the president in that area.

JC this is so motherfucking ridiculous I'm not even gonna comment. Next.

A state of the union gives the president an opportunity to pivot. He took all the good news -- that we're winning in Iraq, that we haven't been hit since 9/11, that we have low unemployment and low inflation, that we collected $100 billion more in tax revenues than we expected. He's got to take those things, and make a case... This was an opportunity to put himself on the offensive.


JC those things, yes those things that Bush needs to make a case with..PSSST...THEY ARE LIES! The only pivot this blivet needs to make is to spin off the edge of the fucking globe. Next.

19. He is from
crazy red f*cking JOklahoma. And there are lots of stories about him and his family members around these parts. And, yes, I am trying desperately to find work and relocate to a more suitable environment.

6. About that clicking noise in the economy cylinders, It is not a good thing
Clicking noise usually means something is a miss.
Bu$h should open the hood on the economy and see the real mess he has neglected for 5 years.

9. "Economy is clicking on all cylinders"--JC Watts
:wtf:

The things that aren't clicking on all cylinders are:
  • The economy, and

  • JC Watts.

13. When a car engine starts 'clicking on all cylinders'
it is generally getting ready throw a rod through the top of the engine.

Just my two cents, while I still have 'em.

20. The economy is always clicking for Uncle Tom House Niggers
Whenever a black face is needed to put a sheen on racist Republican policies, you can bet that JC Watts, Alan Keyes, Colin Powell or Clarence Thomas will gladly jump in front of a camera and the news outlets will fall all over each other to broadcast another Authentic Voice of Black America extolling the virtues of the latest Republican scheme.

But put on Kanye West? Or Harry Belafonte? Or even some non-celebrity who has to actually live life as a black person in America? Not a chance in hell.

21. Kicking, because according to CNN, Bush still has a "D" average...

LET'S SEE WHAT WE CAN DO ABOUT THAT.
