[gateley]

11. Ick! Just caught a glimpse of Cantor over his shoulder. nt

[Divine Discontent]

14. Did Eric Cantor get in an accident or fire? he looks ill. maybe I dont' see him, or look away

I want him (Obama) to be bold and direct to the Congress to do it without delay! Seems like he's doing that.

[gateley]

I'm trying to watch at work -- but what I'm hearing sounds good! nt

[Divine Discontent]

39. yep... sounding very good. I'm hearing the emotion from him I literally expected to hear, thank God

as I haven't been thrilled with the Admin, but I know he knows how bad things are, and I'm thrilled to hear him hammering the facts! :)

[monmouth]

12. Pres. got a really short, short haircut...LOL. Maybe trying to hide the gray..n/t

[jefferson_dem]

13. "Tonight we meet at an urgent time for our country..."

[benld74]

16. Drinking contest starts NOW - Everytime he says PASS THIS JOBS BILL!!!!

[joshcryer]

20. FUCK YEAH!

[monmouth]

17. Wouldn't you think Boner would applaud once in a while?

[benld74]

19. I think he just sharted early the way he was moving around in his seat,,,,

[one_voice]

23. Biden looks like he's interested in what..

Obama is saying....Bonehead looks like he wants to stab in the neck...

I really really dislike repukes

[one_voice]

21. No, that'd be too much like right...

Did you see Mitch McConnell? Dick head..

[joshcryer]

18. PASS THIS JOBS BILL (said about 5 times already, will be tonights meme!)

Fuck yeah.

[jefferson_dem]

22. "The American Jobs Act will repair and modernize at least 35,000 schools. "

[tridim]

31. Republicans sitting on their asses.

Are you watching America?

[joshcryer]

24. YOU SHOULD PASS IT RIGHT AWAY

[joshcryer]

26. PASS THIS JOBS BILL AND THOUSANDS OF TEACHERS WILL GO BACK TO WORK

Obama is MELTING the MINDS of DUers right now. HAHAHA, FUUUUCK!

[jefferson_dem]

28. Powerful!

Where's this guy been?

[joshcryer]

32. Saving the pulpit for reelection.

Duh. :)

[Hosnon]

25. Hit 'em hard, Mr. President!!!

:patriot:

[jefferson_dem]

27. AFSCME chief McEntee: “President Obama has taken a bold step toward creating jobs immediately."

[gateley]

29. Haha! Biden is nodding along in support, Boehner doesn't look happy at all! nt

[maryellen99]

40. Boehner seriously needs to lay off the spray tan nt

[gateley]

53. I'm thinking when he went home to "meet with his constituents" during

the recess he met with just a select few on the golf course. Every day.

[Phx_Dem]

30. Did Boner just fart? How else to explain that smug look on his face

while Obama was talking about not raising taxes on the middle class.

[NYC_SKP]

64. That might have been Biden. You see the effect of the gas on Boner's face.

The Biden gas is brutal; deadly.

:scared:

[psychobueller]

33. How could anyone be against these things???

But they will be....

[maryellen99]

45. Republicans=Profits before People nt

[otohara]

34. Paul Ryan's Childish Behavior

Takes a lot of will to not pay attention - writing notes, or drawing pictures just so the camera won't catch you giving the president one ounce of respect.

[gateley]

36. Biden looks engaged - and serious. Boehner looks bored. nt

[gateley]

35. Did Obama have that pre-meeting with Boehner et al? Thanks. nt

[book_worm]

37. Oh-oh reforming medicare--what does he propose to do with that?

my guess is raise the age.

[ClarkUSA]

42. Wrong. He mentioned "small changes". Your speculative guess doesn't qualify.

[book_worm]

49. maybe--maybe not. We'll see.

[gateley]

57. I know there has been talk of discounted prescriptions (like the VA)

which would save money - I'm always hopeful that's what he means.

[Shining Jack]

65. "Small changes"

And what is your own speculative guess about the size and impact of these "small changes"?

[gateley]

38. What do you want to bet Joe Walsh is watching this on TV from home?

[Phx_Dem]

43. You bet he his. And to prove it, he'll be on TV later criticizing everything POTUS said.

[BadgerKid]

41. Boehner doesn't stand/clap for everyone paying their "fair share." n/t

[tridim]

44. The rich are getting taxed in 2012. Deal.

Fucking Aye Mr. President!

[Phx_Dem]

46. This is the part where he tells Congress to go fuck themselves.

We can do some things without you, and we will.

:toast:

[Moosepoop]

47. "This isn't class warfare -- it's simple math"

Good!! Took that meme away from them!!!

[obama14]

48. Is it me or is Boner actually darker then Obama? n/t

[gateley]

50. Remember when he referred to Boehner as "a person of color"?

:rofl:

[graywarrior]

52. !

:rofl:

[BadgerKid]

51. Metaphorically or physically? (--Both!) n/t

[Moosepoop]

56. I keep looking at his tie...

Pink with white polka dots... fitting attire for the clown that he is.:silly:

[book_worm]

54. He mentioned collective bargainig rights!! BRAVO, Mr. President

[Phx_Dem]

55. ROFLMAO!! Jon Kyl looked like he was about to throw up when

Obama was talking about collective baragaining rights!

These spiteful assholes do realize they're on television, right?!! LOL

[Phx_Dem]

58. He's using his outdoor voice.

:7

[Control-Z]

59. Hey. Boner stood up!

Now that it's over.

[maryellen99]

60. Boehner:Time to hit the Bar! nt

[Control-Z]

61. You could see him losing his happy hour high

while he was sitting there. He really does need another drink, doesn't he?

[MrsCorleone]

62. Due to massive power outage in San Diego & South Orange County most didn't get opportunity to watch.

Hopefully, there will be a rebroadcast later in the evening.

[Retrograde]

63. Due to it being at 4 PM many didn't get an opportunity to watch

Will anyone be re-showing it?
