2013 State of The Union - Let's Go

Okay, right off the bat, for a bit of superficiality, I officially hate Michelle’s hairdo.

Obama just did one of those explodey handshakes with someone in the crowd. :slight_smile:

2013 drinking game rule: If President Obama mentions gun control you can have no more than ten shots, seven if you’re from New York.

Boehner introduces Obama.

Definitely not a “malaise” speech so far. Great booyah beginning.

What’s with the pastel ties on Biden and Boehner? They look like little boys dressed for Easter dinner. (Just to prove we can be superficial about male politicians, too!)

ETA: Stop fidgeting, Biden, my boy!

We’ll be right back to the SOTU in a few minutes, but we’re going to cut back to our main story of a burning cabin in Big Bear.

They should have done this tomorrow, so we could all see how many would keep the ashes. You know Biden would.

First salvo against the Republican’s military Fetish re: sequestration. Good.

Well, that is in his job description, although I doubt if he took as much honor and pleasure in it as he said he did.

“Our Government shouldn’t make promises we cannot keep, but we MUST keep the promises we’ve already made.”

Yeah, that went over like a lead balloon with the Republicans.

Does Boehner know cameras are on him? That orange scowling isn’t going to convince anyway that Obama is wrong.

I watch WAY too many political news and talk shows. I recognize someone in every reaction shot.

How the hell did they come up with a 140:1 return on investment on mapping the genome?

I see Boehner is just going to sit and scowl, whatever the President says.

Whew! I thought Obama was going to mention ‘clean coal’ there. Dodged a bullet. :slight_smile:

Yeah, but he had a lot of pro-fracking speech, so it’s a wash.

Say, what’s with the green ribbons? Biden is wearing one and so is McCain; but not Obama or Boehner.

Was his dentist standing by in case of broken teeth?

According to Brian Williams, it’s to honor the victims at Newton, NH.

Obama and Boehner aren’t outwardly opposed to dead school children. It’s a fact.
