You repeat something enough times, the more people are bound to believe it

Oh, give me a BREAK!!!!!!!

Right here on the CBS website, they tell how CBS and Knowledge Network "assembled a scientific sample of Americans to watch the speech and then respond to our poll questions online"!!

Poll Response to State of the Union 2011 - CBS News Video

And you believe this crap about a "scientific", "objective" poll....OMG...

....and millions of other sheeple take one source of "news" and do no other searching for other reports online where thousands of news outlets are available.

The difference in this year's speech is President Obama said he's going to accomplish things without congress. He's willing to work with anybody, anytime, he said, but he'll do whatever he can on his own.

The original post referred to Mitch Daniels firing a shot.......

I recall when Mario Cuomo decided he was going to run. However his campaigning ended quickly. I was glad. However a month or so later they video a news media's breakfast, one Mario cuomo attended. during the breakfast a reporter interrupted Mario's breakfast. He had asked Cuomo's opinion about a heated debated subjects among the remaining candidates. Marion finished chewing, wiped his lips with a napkin and said in an even and common voice said in effect . It would be inappropiate for me to answer that question because I am not running and it would be easy for me to finesse a response. Its just not fair and I am not going to comment. Bravo Mario. I gain so much respect for him that day.

So I say to Mitch. You lost your right to comment. Your opinion lends no more credibility than any other voter.

Without Congress?.........is he proclaiming himself emperor?

Hey, Mitt Romney has made the same comments - about how on "Day One" he's going to sign Executive Orders for all kinds of things.

I think you're onto something....brilliance is the key word.

I think he's mostly talking about orders that would reverse Obama Executive Orders, and eliminate the Emperor's unaccountable government ministers; otherwise known as "czars".

Romney's avowed first "order" would be, he claims, an order to authorize all states to opt out of ObamaCare. It the same procedure that Obama used to allow his political backers, like the unions and select corporations, to opt out.

The state of the union address was broadcast by every news network, over-riding their usual programming. Why change the channel away from the network and/or talking heads you were already watching.

Yea all nine of those in the audience because they were promised shovel ready jobs.

His appointments of czars along with cronies in the EPA, NLRB and other such appointments is to bypass the Congress goes against the US Constitution which IMHO can mean Obama's actions and those of his subordinates are arguably subversion. Its probably a tactic he picked up from Bill Ayers.

Historically we were out of our recession in 2009. So where are the jobs from all of the stimulus packages? Why are interest rates conti nuing slow depriving retirees of interest income? Why is the Fed seriously considering a QE3? Why are employers big and small holding onto capital? These really are all rhetorical questions. But they have to be asked because we have far too many pollyanna's in the media. While I am not satisified with Republican candidates any one of them is far better than Obama. My God I still can't figure out how this guy got this far. It just boggles the mind. Perhaps it can be attributed to Love Portion Number 9....that must be it
