Noam Chomsky and Naomi Klein Respond to Obama’s First State of the Union

[Dover]

President Obama delivered his first State of the Union address Wednesday night. A full two-thirds of the President’s seventy-minute address was devoted to the economy, the central theme of which was job creation. We get response from MIT professor Noam Chomsky and journalist and author Naomi Klein (The Shock Doctrine).

3. It's too bad brillant voices like these..

.. will be drowned out by money grubbing nonsense from corporate whores like Geithner, Summers, Rahm, Bernanke, etc.

5. Don't worry

A lot of DUers will help drown it out too.

Speaking truth to power was NEVER a popular act.

4. This was good

Chomsky and Klein made excellent points- Obama in declaring the freeze on whats important and the non-freeze on what we need to cut back on is going to kill people.

I thought that actually mattered to people at one point- that we weren't killing people.

[pleah]

8. there wasn't that much content in Chomsky's response

I expected more.
