[jefferson_dem]

[joshcryer]

1. Was going to start this exact topic. Epic. Amazing. Brilliant.

[Politicub]

2. Amazing speech

I'm proud to have voted for President Obama.

[DeepBlueC]

3. Hear, hear

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bobbie Jo]

4. Nailed it.

[Peacetrain]

5. Yep

[ruggerson]

6. It was direct, frank and simple, instead of lofty rhetoric

I thought it worked very well.

[jillan]

7. The best SOTU ever!

[The Backlash Cometh]

8. I missed most of it...

...but it sounds if anyone has a little alien in him tonight, Obama does. Good for him.

[graywarrior]

9. He's been listening

[Top Cat]

10. On point all the way.....

[wisteria]

11. Yes, bravo. Our President was wonderful. n/t

[tridim]

12. The Media won't agree, but history will.

[wisteria]

15. Limbaugh, Hannity et al, are all in a huddle figuring out their get Obama game plan. n/t

[mscuedawg]

25. Well said!! n/t

[KaryninMiami]

13. Yup. Hit it out of the park. Amazing.

[tekisui]

14. He called everybody out.

That's what I was looking for. EO and Veto. He laid it all out there.

[Thrill]

16. LOL Cenk

@TheYoungTurks
I think this is one of his least inspiring speeches. Looks tired and I don't think anyone is buying the non-stop bipartisanship appeal.

This comment is proof Progressives have gone nuttier than Republicans. Its a shame.

[BeyondGeography]

17. Until the next time he's in a tight spot

As you know, Obama has always delivered when the stakes were highest.

[Clio the Leo]

18. I think so too ...... but I say that EVERY TIME. :-) NT

[falcon97]

19. Denver was better.

But he was on top of his game tonight.

[Phx_Dem]

20. Out of the park! And can I just give props to

First Lady Michelle! She got an incredibly long standing O and rocked that wine-colored outfit!

:applause:

[Robbins]

21. Obama

Untill now for awhile Republicans have had their way with the media getting the message
out that ended tonight.He addressed the problems we faced.Pointed out what has been
done to stop the fall to depression.Reminding people Bush actully proposed the bailout
for banks.Pointed out Social Security,Medicare,and Medicaid are not part of spending
freeze,and saying we remain ontrack for pullout In Iraq.And reminding he Intends to pull
back from Afghanstain In 2011.

The MSM has always counted Obama out.He couldn't win the Nomination.He was done with
Reverand Wright,and Palin was going to help Mccain win.

I have to admit I have gotten a little discroughed over the last week but this gets me
worked up again.

[akbacchus_BC]

22. Ditto to that. Tried to make an OP about how happy I was but I failed, LOL, n/t

[Solomon]

23. I told you long ago I couldn't wait for his SOTU speech.

This is why.

[mzmolly]

24. Fabulous

speech! The best SOTU I've ever seen.

[saltpoint]

26. What few elder GOP strategist there might be must have realized after

tonight that they don't have the bench to beat this guy.

Congratulations to President Obama on a formidable performance.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. And that sense of humor! I loved it!

Best. Speech. Ever.

K&R

:patriot:

[uponit7771]

28. Howard Fineman said it best. "Obama should be on Mt Rushmore for his speeches" (translation mine)

[Zavulon]

29. I was a bit worried about tonight's SOTU, but I shouldn't have been.

Hanging curveball versus Obama's bat, one swing, out of the park.

Well done, Mr. President.

[emsimon33]

30. I couldn't watch for fear I would take a sledge hammer to the TV

I have felt betrayed by this guy for a year. More lies and betrayal and pandering to the Republicans and Blue Dogs would have sent me over the edge.

If the speech was really that good, can we trust him to grow a spine and follow through?

[ginnyinWI]

31. yes.

Since I've been watching him, I've seen that he usually is taking a longer view than everyone else around him. People don't see the plan right away--but in hindsight what he's done makes more sense. So I'm not standing in judgement until some time passes. Been wrong about him before and have learned to watch and see.

[depakid]

32. That's what people said about the health care speech, too

Just sayin'

[President Decider]

33. Good yes, but not best ever ...

It was good and very much neeeded, but the speech he gave the night of his nomination was the best I've ever seen and probably will see in my lifetime. 2nd will be the speech he gave in Germany on race.

[spiritual_gunfighter]

34. It wasn't his best

But it was so good it even made me like him again.
