[Stinky The Clown]

For me, it was the support for the community banks to lend locally over the banksters nolube fucking us globally.

What arcane little detail did you cheer for?

[shadowknows69]

1. When it was over was cool. I can go back to my powerless, insignificant life now.

2. student debt assistance! 10 years in public service = forgiveness. LOVE IT.

[Stinky The Clown]

4. Yeah. We liked that too. Moreso the incentivizing of national service.

9. Punched hard while promising more Globalization, no new taxes, offshore drilling, coal and nuclear..

strong on Charisma no doubt, but it was a serious move to the right.

3. Punching Bohner and buddies in the nuts was pretty good for me.

5. Obama calling out the SCOTUS was just epic.

10. Damn, I had to tend to dinner and missed it. I'm frantically searching YouTube

for it.

13. Yes, that was a great one!

I was so nervous for Obama before he arrived, but what a great job he did. When you stop and think of all the criticism he's had, no cooperation from the Repugs and everyone jerking him around, how can he come out and be so calm and cool? He's amazing.

He made the Repugs (or they did it to themselves) look like total jerks and junior high school clowns. They should be ashamed of themselves.

6. Pro-science

Sure, there are a zillion things he could do better, but to have a president who VALUES SCIENCE is huge (to this scientist :D )

[SemiCharmedQuark]

8. LOL, that was great! "despite overwhelming scientific evidence.."

Republicans: "Science-BOOOO!"

[SemiCharmedQuark]

The SC decision for a very specific reason.

Polls showed that the majority of people approved of that decision. I have always felt that Obama has an aversion to conflict. But there was absolutely no hesitation this time: he told them they were wrong and that it was up to Congress to fix it, DESPITE what the polls said.

7. The speech was one of his very best

He faced down those that have dogged him and he did not blink. :bounce:

[Berry Cool]

11. The part where he essentially said that they won't win friends and influence people

by insisting on a 60-vote Senate supermajority in order to get jack-anything passed.

Editing to add: Also, the parts where he said he's letting the Bush tax cuts die and also (allegedly) pushing to repeal DADT. But we shall see.

[liberalmuse]

12. Student loans, DADT, spanking the Republicans....

and scaredy cat Dems, and best of all ripping a new one for the SCOTUS 5.

[lib2DaBone]

14. Spanking SCOTUS... End Tax breaks for Off-shoring...

Supreme court sitting there looked like they had just swallowed a handfull of Ex-Lax instead of Prosac....
