At the top of the hour, President Obama will address a joint session of Congress outlining his jobs plan going forward.  Use this thread to discuss the speech and what you think will happen in reality going forward.

The GOP will oppose anything the president proposes is what I think is reality going forward.

Ha, the Speaker and Vice President's minds are clearly not on the President's speech.  Their minds are on playing golf!

Insiders say that President Obama hopes to boost his approval rating tonight by transforming into a professional wrestler named "Brocko Bomba".

NBC just reported a "national security" development will be in the speech.

He should call for more Border Patrol just to watch Republican (and Democrat) heads explode.

Maybe Zombie Osama bin Laden crawled out of the Ocean in Santa Monica but Obama personally went down there and blew his head off with a shotgun.

I love that he's turning it back on the Congress... the GOP needs to not look so sour when he's talking about payroll tax cuts...

Boehner looks so uncomfortable, lol... he knows these are good ideas, but since he has to deal with people who don't like good ideas if they come from Obama.... he's in yet another bind.

All GOP closeups so far have been nothing but scowls.

Obama's doing great at pointing out how everything he's proposing has been supported by the GOP at some point recently- will make them look hugely hypocritical if/when they oppose this en mass.

I hated him, as soon as he became the nominee I loved him, as soon as I lost I hated him again....

Looks like the veterans employment tax credit thing has a chance at passage based on Boehner clapping.
