You mean looking at the turd that passes that floats in the toilet ?
Not watching that bullshit - and unlike you - will be training and staying in shape.
Fat, weak, liberal, and in need of T shots not even 30 yo must suck bro.

i will def watch it. i will probably cringe and gnash my teeth the whole time but still ;D
-
I'll be skipping the annual class warfare speech. Again. Cliffs Notes please.
But I'll take a stab at what those who watch are likely to hear:
- "Millionaires and billionaires."
- "Fair share."
- Amnesty.
- Claiming the war in Afghanistan is over.
- No mention of "radical Islam," but railing against "Islamophobia."
- Passing reference to Ferguson and/or New York, but no call for personal responsibility.
- A call for bipartisanship, while outlining unconstitutional executive action (or threats of action).
- No mention of our national debt.

Military guest list short for State of the Union

Troops and veterans will be largely missing from the President and First Lady Michelle Obama's guest list for the annual State of the Union address Tuesday night, at least in the House chamber.
Only two service members will be official guests of the first lady for her husband's address to Congress tonight. Last year, the Obamas also hosted only two military guests, Vice Adm. Michelle Howard and Army Sgt. 1st Class Cory Remsburg. Neither year's guest list included any veterans representatives or military family members.
However, other service members and veterans may be in attendance as guests of their home-state and -district lawmakers. For example, Army Sgt. Thomas Block, who was severely wounded in Afghanistan in October 2013 on his fourth combat deployment, will attend as a guest of Rep. Tim Walz, D-Minn.
Individuals seated in the presidential guest box for the event are often reflective of the themes of the president's speech. This year's guests include immigration advocates, families who have benefited from recent health care changes and an Ebola aid worker.
During President George W. Bush's final two State of the Unions, when the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were still at their heights, the presidential guest box featured representatives from each of the armed services. The speeches were also heavily focused on military progress in both countries.
But Obama, who campaigned in 2008 on ending both wars, has dedicated only about a quarter of his State of the Union speeches to national security and foreign policy, focusing more on domestic issues like health care and job creation.
This year's military representatives are Army Staff Sgt. Jason Gibson, who lost both legs fighting in Afghanistan, and Navy Capt. Scott Kelly, an astronaut headed to the International Space Station for a yearlong mission.
Veterans groups have said they worry that military and veterans issues have been overshadowed by other domestic challenges in recent years, and they have lobbied the White House in recent days to include more on those topics in the nationally televised event.
But White House talking points in recent days have not mentioned any major defense or veterans policy announcements, and administration online chats scheduled for Wednesday to discuss State of the Union topics do not include any Veterans Affairs officials.
In early discussions with reporters, the administration has talked about economic and education initiatives as their main highlights of the speech.

Another great comeback.

actually, we're the #1 superpower in the world. The country was built by men in work clothes... but in terms of becoming a superpower, it was men in suits that were making that happen. banks and bankers, soldiers and great thinkers (regardless of party)
There are lots of countries with people that work very hard - harder than americans - think of the long work days in some countries, think of country with slavery still. We are #1 because of the BRAINS and BALLS of the bankers and soldiers...
Men in denim have, unforunately, been used as tools and pawns by the very brilliant people. "The cogs of capitalism are oiled with the blood of the working class", something like that?
Look, the denim line is a fun one, but in REALITY, yeah, no. We are #1 because smart men sent badass men to exploit the resources and workers of OTHER countries for our gain. THAT is how a superpower is built.

Another great comeback.
Hey Dumbass - all you Republican heros wear suits so I guess you're saying they destroyed the country?
The founding fathers wore suits and powdered wigs and their slaves were the ones wearing denim (or the equivalent)
to suggest that people wearing denim build the country and ones wearing suits destroyed is just fucking stupid and par for the course for you
Damn, are you actually a Republican. A real Republican would be telling us that a bunch of rich fucks over the last 250 years actually built the country

No, I mean watching the man you have a crush on and can't stop showcasing your homo fantasies on here every day about.
Bald, short, and with mental issues at middle age must really suck. Is this where your self loathing comes from?

I'm going to sleep now because I have a long morning at SC tomorrow. But before I pwn the fuck out of you (once again) let me ask you this. Who built your home? Who grows your food? Who built your car?

Record-low ratings for State of the Union
By DYLAN BYERS | 1/21/15
Nearly 32 million Americans watched President Barack Obama's 2015 State of the Union address on television, the lowest turnout since President Bill Clinton's final State of the Union address in 2000, according to newly released Nielsen ratings.
Obama attracted 31.7 million viewers. Viewership for Obama's State of the Union addresses has been in decline since 2009, when he drew 52.4 million television viewers. Subsequently, 48.0 million watched on television in 2010, 42.8 million in 2011, 37.8 million in 2012, 33.5 million in 2013 and 33.3 million in 2014. This year's speech replaces last year's as the second-lowest rated since Nielsen began recording viewership in 1993.
Nielsen's totals are based off viewership for ABC, Al Jazeera America, Azteca, CBS, CNN, Fox, Fox Business Network, Fox News Channel, Galavision, MSNBC, MundoFox, NBC and Univision. They do not include digital lifestreams.

Obama’s Words v. Reality
Peter Wehner
01.26.2015 - 1:30 PM
“This strategy of taking out terrorists who threaten us, while supporting partners on the front lines, is one that we have successfully pursued in Yemen and Somalia for years. And it is consistent with the approach I outlined earlier this year: to use force against anyone who threatens America’s core interests, but to mobilize partners wherever possible to address broader challenges to international order. ” — President Obama, September 10, 2014
“The United States is closing its embassy in Yemen to the public until further notice, the embassy said in a statement on Monday amid political turmoil after that nation’s government resigned last week under pressure from the Houthi rebel movement. ‘The U.S. Embassy will be closed to the public until further notice out of an abundance of caution and care for our employees and others who may be visiting the Embassy. We are continuously analyzing the security conditions and will resume consular operations as soon as our analysis indicates we are able to do so safely,’ the statement said.” — Reuters, January 26, 2015

“Forty-two years of tyranny was ended in six months. From Tripoli to Misurata to Benghazi — today, Libya is free. Yesterday, the leaders of a new Libya took their rightful place beside us, and this week, the United States is reopening our embassy in Tripoli. This is how the international community is supposed to work — nations standing together for the sake of peace and security, and individuals claiming their rights. Now, all of us have a responsibility to support the new Libya — the new Libyan government as they confront the challenge of turning this moment of promise into a just and lasting peace for all Libyans.” — President Obama, September 21, 2011
“The United States shut down its embassy in Libya on Saturday and evacuated its diplomats to neighboring Tunisia under U.S. military escort amid a significant deterioration in security in Tripoli as fighting intensified between rival militias, the State Department said. ‘Due to the ongoing violence resulting from clashes between Libyan militias in the immediate vicinity of the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli, we have temporarily relocated all of our personnel out of Libya,’ spokeswoman Marie Harf said.” — the Daily Mail, July 26, 2014

“We’re demonstrating the power of American strength and diplomacy. We’re upholding the principle that bigger nations can’t bully the small — by opposing Russian aggression, and supporting Ukraine’s democracy, and reassuring our NATO allies. Last year, as we were doing the hard work of imposing sanctions along with our allies, as we were reinforcing our presence with frontline states, Mr. Putin’s aggression it was suggested was a masterful display of strategy and strength. That’s what I heard from some folks. Well, today, it is America that stands strong and united with our allies, while Russia is isolated with its economy in tatters. That’s how America leads — not with bluster, but with persistent, steady resolve.” — President Obama, January 20, 2015
“Unexpectedly, at the height of the Ukrainian winter, war has exploded anew on a half-dozen battered fronts across eastern Ukraine, accompanied by increasing evidence that Russian troops and Russian equipment have been pouring into the region again… The renewed fighting has dashed any hopes of reinvigorating a cease-fire signed in September and honored more in name than in fact since then. It has also put to rest the notion that Russia’s president, Vladimir V. Putin, would be so staggered by the twin blows of Western sanctions and a collapse in oil prices that he would forsake the separatists in order to foster better relations with the West. Instead, blaming the upsurge in violence on the Ukrainians and the rise in civilian deaths on ‘those who issue such criminal orders,’ as he did on Friday in Moscow, Mr. Putin is apparently doubling down, rather than backing down, in a conflict that is now the bloodiest in Europe since the Balkan wars…. newly emboldened separatist leaders have abandoned all talk of a cease-fire. One of the top leaders of the Russian-backed rebels said Friday that his soldiers were ‘on the offensive’ in several sectors, capitalizing on their capture of the Donetsk airport the day before.” — New York Times, January 23, 2015

“And tonight, I call on this Congress to show the world that we are united in this mission [to defeat the Islamic State] by passing a resolution to authorize the use of force against ISIL. We need that authority.” — President Obama, January 20, 2015
‘“The analogy we use around here sometimes [in describing ISIL], and I think is accurate, is if a jayvee team puts on Lakers uniforms that doesn’t make them Kobe Bryant,’ Obama said, resorting to an uncharacteristically flip analogy. ‘I think there is a distinction between the capacity and reach of a bin Laden and a network that is actively planning major terrorist plots against the homeland versus jihadists who are engaged in various local power struggles and disputes, often sectarian.'” — President Obama, quoted in the New Yorker, January 27, 2014

“We’re also supporting a moderate opposition in Syria that can help us in this effort, and assisting people everywhere who stand up to the bankrupt ideology of violent extremism.” — President Obama, January 20, 2015
“With ‘respect to Syria,’ said the president, the notion that arming the rebels would have made a difference has ‘always been a fantasy. This idea that we could provide some light arms or even more sophisticated arms to what was essentially an opposition made up of former doctors, farmers, pharmacists and so forth, and that they were going to be able to battle not only a well-armed state but also a well-armed state backed by Russia, backed by Iran, a battle-hardened Hezbollah, that was never in the cards.’”–“Obama on the World,” Thomas Friedman, New York Times, August 8, 2014

“I mean, words mean something. You can’t just make stuff up.” — Barack Obama, September 6, 2008
