    I love how, in their dedication to not show an ounce of support for Obama they won't even applaud giving kids an education or affordable college.

    The one lady on the right side of the room who stood and clapped for the pre-k line was looking around like, "Really? Not even for the kids?"

    "We didn't deny Sputnik was up there" is a some pretty good global warming shade.

    I wish my dad was watching for that line.
    Look, if anybody still wants to dispute the science around climate change, have at it. You'll be pretty lonely, because you'll be debating our military, most of America's business leaders, the majority of the American people, almost the entire scientific community, and 200 nations around the world who agree it's a problem and intend to solve it.

    Solid.

    "Now drone strikes on civilians, that's totally different!"

    The rah rah kill them terrorists part of these speeches always make me want to drink.

    So is Joe Biden being put in charge of the National Institute of Health? What was Obama saying when he said he's putting them in charge of Mission Control?

  • SticksSticks I'd rather be in bed.Registered User regular
    "Help African countries feed their people, help the sick."

    Cut to general looking like he wants to bomb somebody.

    Yes yes yes fuck gerrymandering.

    Thought christ I have no idea how you're supposed to do it fairly, even an appointed committee is going to be biased as all hell.

    We build machines to do it for us.

    Cold, merciless, implacable machines.

    I like that he explicitly called out the cynical "politics don't really matter, maaaaaan" crowd, but those guys are shielded by so much snark that, even if they were watching, it wouldn't do them any good to hear it.

    Send anyone who thinks politics don't matter for a tour of duty in Iraq.

    I believe him when he says that the divisiveness is the biggest regret of his terms in office. The sincerest parts of his speech are those still talking about coming together for the betterment of all.

    I wish the divisiveness in our politics had anything to do with him :(

  • ph blakeph blake Registered User regular
    He had some good lines, but I expected something more concrete on criminal justice reform, especially since he bothered to fly that Republican mayor/criminal justice reform advocate out and sit him beside FLOTUS.

    Also no mention of the attacks on reproductive rights/planned parenthood stuff felt like a missed opportunity. Maybe he felt it would be gauche since the case is headed to the supreme court soon?

    There was way more "RAH RAH DRONE STRIKES TPP BIGGEST GLOBAL MILITARY" than I'm comfortable with, especially coming from a President whose policies I generally agree with, but overall I thought that went really well.

    I wish he'd addressed gun violence more, and that he'd gone into more detail on abuses of police power (which was a problem last year too), but it's refreshing to see Obama get on the pulpit and have the nerve to say "You know what? I did a good job. I did a good job, and I couldn't care less if you agree or not."
