I was relieved that the President made no mention of possible British Intelligence Reports claiming that Iraq had a stockpile of Weapons of Mass Destruction and that a mushroom cloud on our horizon was imminent if we fail to act aggresively!

Here are two of the facts that they checked.....Wow Obama like the rest of Amercia thinks Henry Ford was the inventor. Maybe we could all learn something.
Next if you or anyone else does not think we have a problem with low oil reserves 3% and high consumption close to 25% then you stick to posting nitpicking points if you think that problem is not real. No damn wonder we are where we are.
OBAMA: "And I believe the nation that invented the automobile cannot walk away from it."
THE FACTS: Depends what your definition of automobiles, is. According to the Library of Congress, the inventor of the first true automobile was probably Germany's Karl Benz, who created the first auto powered by an internal combustion gasoline engine, in 1885 or 1886. In the U.S., Charles Duryea tested what library researchers called the first successful gas-powered car in 1893. Nobody disputes that Henry Ford created the first assembly line that made cars affordable.

OBAMA: "We have known for decades that our survival depends on finding new sources of energy. Yet we import more oil today than ever before."
THE FACTS: Oil imports peaked in 2005 at just over 5 billion barrels, and have been declining slightly since. The figure in 2007 was 4.9 billion barrels, or about 58 percent of total consumption. The nation is on pace this year to import 4.7 billion barrels, and government projections are for imports to hold steady or decrease a bit over the next two decades.
I couldn't take Pelosie right behind the POTUS so I had to change the channel. she knew she was going to be on national tv and wore such an ugly dress. Then everytime she smiled for the camera she reminded me of the joker(heath leger). I just couldn't take one more look at her. Not another look.

Wait... I thought Presidents didn't write their own speeches.. someone else is paid to do that, right?

Most of what I heard was empty promises except those of spending a record amount of money we dont have and further weakening the rights of the people through unfair taxation giving cuts to some and increases to others.
I didnt hear much good news just the sme old rhetoric.
Nancy Pelosi was emabassing and it looked like Biden was thinkging this bitch is starting to really bug the shit out of me.
The best of things that I saw was I didnt see that idiot Hillary rolling her eyes like a disoriented drunk no offense to Teddy as you couldnt see his eyes anyway.
I think there ways an old Happy Dyas rerun that would have provided better value for the time I wasted listening to how much the Democrats were going to spend making everything "right" in the world. Kumbahya have another sip........
