My thoughts during the speech...
1. Who did this guy's makeup?
2. It's been six minutes and I already can't stand the stream of nonsense coming out of his mouth. Don't sit there and claim that you read letters from Americans at night. We all know you do nothing of the sort.
3. Now he's talking about transparency. What a crock of garbage.
4. You recovered the bailout money from the banks? No. You forced them to take it and they repaid it.
5. Yes, you cut taxes. $13 per week, big shot.
6. Pelosi has received one too many Botox injections. She couldn't stop making that fish-face if she wanted to.
7. You can't quantify how may jobs you claim you've saved. It's made-up garbage.
8. I'm dying to know what kind of bill can be passed that will create jobs. How about cutting taxes and easing restrictions? Ever heard of the free market system?
9. Talking idealistically doesn't make it a reality.
10. Banks loan to bigger businesses because they're more apt to pay it back.
11. $30 billion for more small business credit? Excellent idea. Now where's that money coming from? Oh yeah. Us.
12. Yes, there is a reason China has the cheaper factories: they pay their workers pennies a day.
13. We already give tax cuts to those that make their homes more energy efficient.
14. Tax cuts for businesses that keep jobs in the US? First thing he's said that makes any sense.
15. Other nations aren't putting anything on hold because they pay their workers nothing.
16. It's easy to see how people buy his rhetoric, he's an excellent public speaker.
17. He needs more than two teleprompters.
18. Basing legislation on climate theory is asinine.
19. I hate Nancy Pelosi. She's such a smug douchebag.
20. We can't export more of our goods. Other countries get them elsewhere cheaper. Promising to double exports in five years is a promise you can't keep, Mr. President.
21. "Seek new markets for exports" = invest in China. Don't we owe them enough money?
22. You can't make a kid learn more by throwing more money at them.
23. Forgiving student loan debt after twenty years, or ten years if working in public service. That's the second thing he's said tonight that makes sense.
24. Let's joke some more about your ridiculous healthcare proposal. It's worth joking about.
25. THERE WAS NO HEALTHCARE DEBATE. There was Democrats zooming right along because they had a filibuster-proof majority. That is, until Massachusetts did the right thing in electing Scott Brown.
26. You're not interested in bipartisan healthcare reform. Stop pretending. You're embarrassing yourself. The GOP submitted a 250 page proposal to counter the Democratic 2200 page proposal, and it didn't criminalize people for not purchasing an 'approved' healthcare plan.
27. A hidden jab at Bush. Nicely played.
28. Yes, you added $1 trillion to the deficit. Your proposals, however, threaten to bloat it to $12 trillion.
29. Controlling federal spending, that makes three things he's said that makes sense. It'll never get done, but it's a great idea. That's something he could enforce tomorrow.
30. Line item vetoes don't exist in your office. Stop talking like they do. That all came and went during the Clinton Administration.
31. Another Bush jab. Stay classy.
32. Chuck Schumer looks like Mr. Burns (http://http.cdnlayer.com/itke/blogs.dir/8/files/2008/06/mr-burns.jpg) from The Simpsons.
33. Don't propose common sense be used as a new idea. It's been present, you've just been ignoring it.
34. Don't give us this nonsense about transparency again. You've done nothing to make politics more transparent. You're just as secretive, or more secretive, as any other administration in history. Your meetings on the transparency of your administration were closed-door meetings!
35. How the hell is Charlie Rangel still a member of Congress?
36. Does anyone else find it strange that the 4th person in line for the Presidency, Hillary Clinton, isn't present for this speech?
37. How many times is he going to imply that Republicans should just stop fighting against him and the Democrats and just do what he wants them to do?
38. You haven't improved airline security since Christmas.
39. Combat troops will not be out of Iraq by August, but it sounds good to those not paying attention.
40. Don't compare yourself to Kennedy or Reagan. You're not in a league with either of them. Not even close.
41. Don't blame the low opinions of politicians on media outlets. Those of us paying attention know what you're saying - we just don't like it.
42. Are you claiming that your actions are something that should have been done 100 years ago? Is the Secret Service going to help you carry that head of yours back to the White House after the speech?
43. Christ, more with the letters you read at night. Give it a rest.
44. If my poll numbers were as low as yours, I'd be calling for a new start too.
