Congress needs to get on the "YES" chant bandwagon.

Infrastructure should be as easy of an idea as there is but it keeps getting blocked.

Such is the state of congressional gridlock. Which is why the Prez is going to go it alone where he can.

Makes sense. The gridlock has to end soon. People are just fed up with it.

Too bad that Republicans who work towards immigration reform get censured by their own party.
Okay, just the one that I know of, but when it's John McCain of all people that speaks volumes.

Notice that the GOP didn't move on immigration. If they don't want to ever win a national election again, keep sitting.

Yes but I'm a very blue person in a red state.
He mentioned Kentucky as I was talking about that. Beshear is a very nice guy. I worked for him a few years back.

Gotcha. Just made me chuckle. I'm not even from here, but I'll take these mild winters over what I had to deal with back east.

Good opportunity to tip my cap to the troops. Any WZ'ers serving or who have served, thanks.

Obama's got to rank among the greatest orators in American history. No matter whether I agree or disagree with what he says, I can't help but be rapt while he's saying it.

Fact checking for anyone who's concerned about such things (odd statement, I know, but a lot of people seem not to when it comes to politics):

no sir, THIS is all that needs to be seen
That works as well.
I read through a couple of those and they weren't really fact checks.

I had my doubts as soon as I saw it was on Yahoo
Same here.
The State of the Union was fairly unremarkable I thought. The official Republican response to the State of the Union was just stupid though. Not once did she mention ANY of the great plans Republicans apparently have. Never did she propose policy or offer a plan.

AP wrote it, not Yahoo. One would have to read it to know that, though.

In order to propose policy or offer a plan, you have to have policy or plan ideas. I'm pretty sure Republicans have no plans right now other than oppose anything Obama is in favor of.
AP isn't too good for much past your basic inverted pyramid story.

The GOP response was the same thing it always was: Obama's policies suck, we won't say how they suck or what we'd do to replace them, jobs jobs jobs, healthcare just isn't working and we have an example of how it isn't but we have no alternative for it, vote GOP!

You'll hurt yourself thrashing. The bigger guy I eliminated earlier will surely come back for me.
