This is always one of my favorite political events. I love seeing the branches of government meet in one spot and having it aired live across the country.

This is also one of the images I have in my mind when I imagine someone becoming President. I try to picture them behind the podium/in front of the Vice President and the Speaker. After eight years of any President, I think it's weird to imagine anyone else standing there but it'll be especially odd seeing Obama there. That being said, I'm still excited.

Not really. I'll probably watch it anyway though.

Yup.  For the exact same reasons Phil stated above.

Actually there will be a black, a woman and two Catholics up there, one of whom recently had an audience with the Pope (and probably got a tongue lashing about her position on abortion).

No, I have more important things to deal with atm. Like school and my gf. It's doubtful he'll say anything new that we haven't heard already anyways.

It is exciting, I agree with Phil. Big events like this are what I love about politics. I'll be stuck playing FFXI while it's on but I'll try to listen.

I love how Specter stood for about five seconds after Obama mentioned the Stimulus Package.

"Mess with Joe" - unpresidential.  Come on.  This is an address to Congress.  Not a campaign speech.

Eh, it was more lame than anything else.

I really love Nancy Pelosi. If only she had pushed impeachment for Bush, though. *Sigh*

Republicans not standing to cheer for a children's health insurance bill?

Scumbags. They can rot in hell.

Nancy has been terrific tonight - this is the Nancy I remember before she became a doormat for Bush after 2006.

Says the guy with the anti Catholic, dishonest, Pro Lifer hating cartoon in his signature.  Roll Eyes

By the way, I love how Obama still has to do the campaign speech nonsense during this address. You have to love how he had to get that deficit jab in just to satisfy the hacks.

I've been chopping yellow peppers, ginger, and onions (and pathetically attempting to de-bone some salmon) as I watch this, and it makes me want to mince that ginger extra hard, thanks to Obama

I'm not in the mood to allow you to ruin another thread. Can we avoid this just for one night?

I thought that was a very good speech, by the way. Obama always seems unusually confident.
