So salty. Republican's had their chances and squandered them. Looking the same for 2016.

Obama could have been the nicest guy in Washington and the Republicans strategy of stalling for time until he is out of office wouldn't have changed.

Google Karl Rove.

Give an example? This is a State of the Union. Given in front of a party that even before his inauguration decided and tried to make him a one term president and not allow anything to be passed.

Memory sure is short.

Remember how hard Obama tried to get bipartisan support for Obamacare? Remember all the political capital he spent trying to make that happen?

Aren't republicans supposed to be trying to pretend bush never happened right about now? Especially with the wild notion that Jeb is a viable candidate in 2016.

I thought the best part was where Obama talked about new medical research and all the Republicans kinda looked at each other to figure out if they were supporting it or not.

Bush dealt with more than his share of partisan horseshit during his two terms. He never dedicated an entire state of the union speech to attacking democrats.

And this entire state of the union speech wasn't about attacking republicans. It was mostly typical bland policy prescriptions and feel good stuff, with a moderate amount of attacks on issues republicans are vulnerable on, but not worded as such.
Great read: http://shorensteincenter.org/news-coverage-2016-general-election/ great book on democracy: http://press.princeton.edu/titles/10671.html zlefin is grumpier due to long term illness. Ignoring some users.

Because instead of going out and pushing for why Republicans needed to keep the presidency after he was gone Republicans locked him in a cave and turned the last republican president into a delusional vision of Reagan.

Obama is clearly using the SOTU to set the stage for 2016 and judging by Republicans so far they are totally blindsided and have nothing but more personal attacks, petty legislation, and fear mongering around "terrorism" prepared for the next couple years.

Republicans wanting a petty pipeline that will primarily help a foreign company being compared to Obama asking for a large infrastructure bill will basically be the frame for every debate.

Republicans roll in with the Earnst teleprompter jokes now right?
