Everyone have a shot, contribute their fair share, and play by the same rules? Ew, says Boehner.

Boehner also apparently not a fan of GM doing well.

It's not about excuses, and you will never get any kind of amnesty.

He did not argue for amnesty.

Yes he did. If it doesn't include E-verify and a touchback requirement, it is amnesty.

If you think we can realistically just deport millions of people, you are out of your mind. Some form of amnesty as part of a larger immigration scheme is the only realistic, pragmatic option.

You insult my intelligence. Did you not read my post in the "Who won the debate?" thread, yesterday?

If it's in this particular board, chances are I didn't subject myself to it.

Building roads? Well Boehner won't applaud that either!

Obama gets an embarrassed laugh for a terrible joke. OH OBAMA. Humor isn't for you.

After tonight, I''ll put Mitt Romney's odds of getting even 220 EVs at 0%.  All of this GOP fight made me really forget about how Obama really was.

We've basically been watching four minor league players competing for a callup to pitch a spot start against the Yankees.

Feeling the same.

He can give a good speech, but unfortunately that all it is...a speech.

Yes, it was a State of the Union. Obama unfortunately lacks exclusive magical lawmaking powers.
