State of the Union

They are. There is entertainment value at times, though. Oh, that Rubio response.

 

Jindal, bless his heart.

 

LOL. So, after following those two how could Haley not look good? I'm a victim of my own (significantly) lowered expectations.

 

I wish The Donald would have given the response. The Donald is at a rally surrounded on stage with supporters. Open with patented The Donald barrage soliloquies and then pan to a free style town hall meeting with The Donald.

 

If one imagines him as a middle schooler talking, his responses make more sense. His great critique of the speech by Obama last night? It was "really slow, boring, lethargic", sort of like a kid complaining about math class.

 

I don't know if that's a critique that matters, but I don't think it's incorrect (although I didn't watch last night so won't speak specifically to that speech). I think Obama is really overrated as an orator.

 

Steven Green had the best break down of the speech. It was like Al Bundy trying to get everyone to desperately remember he scored four touchdowns in one game.

Obama trying to remind people more of all the speeches he gave as Candidate Obama, instead of the last 7 years.

 

I've always thought this. Seemed like they just told us he was great, and kept telling he is, therefore he is.

 

He's speaking directly to the clowns we call an electorate.

 

He has definitely lost his passion and conviction.

08 was special

 

Do tell?

The Dems and establishment Repubs now have common ground, hatred of The Donald.

 

It's a good a thing.

I don't like it took The Donald to do it.

 

Would have been nice if Obama appointed Biden in the first year of his first term. Unfortunately now it is only symbolic for a few months.

 

Obama's first State of the Union and last nights.

 

Trying to destroy America sure takes a lot out of you.

 

The stress of the US presidency is ridiculous. That appears to be much more than 7 years of aging. Wow.

 

Look at Clinton or Bush with the same time frame. It's insane.

 

I bet come January 2017 he takes two months to sleep. The grey hair is normal, but the aging of his face is incredible.

You couldn't pay me enough money to be President.

EDIT:

And because Obama came into the office so young, I think the change in him is that much more startling. I wonder what your average 45 year old looks like between then and when they turn 53, if it is that marked or not.

I know my hair has gone almost completely grey since my son was born 9 years ago.

 

Clinton had a lot of mileage during his time.

 

Road head, too.
