Yo, Willy S. from St. Louis... yo spellin' is smellin'... it's 'abbreviate', not 'abreviate'. You gonna eat your own words?

pelosi is a bluming idiat ....!!!!!!

Shine, Shine, Shine.

To Ryan,CA. I will place you in the same category as those educationally lacking fools who seem to be unable to speak or even spell complete words. I refer to them as the abreviates. The ones who always have half of a word still lodged in their throats. And whether you agree or not B.O. offers one thing and one thing only-a lot of bull defecation. I would have used the generally accepted word but then I too would have become an abreviate. And I know that the moderator for this site would not have approved of its appearance.

Dem or GOP, no difference, just us taxpayers bent over the pork barrel while special interest groups laugh at us

THIS IS A BIG TALK AND NO ACTION. HE WANTS TO PLEASE EVERYBODY. IMAGINE HE IS SO CHEAP TO HAVE LUNCH WITH THE PRESSMEN. HE DOES NOT HAVE PRESIDENTIAL PERSONALITY. HE THINKS THAT HE IS IN CHICAGO AND HE CAN DO ANYTHING HE WANTS. CHEAP STUFF.

Thank you Mr. President, Sir for all you have accomplished in 30 days......more than Bush and the Repugs have done in 8 years.

God Bless you, and God shine his light on the United States, the greatest country in the world. WE WILL SURVIVE...and be better than ever.

I feel the need to comment on this article because CNN closed the thread of jindal critizing the President's address! Jindal is a 37 year old idiot! Obama has been President for under 1 month, and the old farts from the GOP have "lost trust..." W.T.....F!?!@? The GAP hasn't given the new black guy (oohhh, I said that, oooohhh) even 1 month and they have LOST TRUST in the President, I...D...I...O...T...S...!!!!

Dear Gray Old Perverts,
You idiots lost, because you fools are OUT OF TOUCH WITH THE REST OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE REST OF THE WORLD!
You have to get a guy like Bobby (I wanna be a white guy) Jindal disagreeing with a popular president. I hope NONE of you fools get re-elected in 2010 going forward! The MAJORITY of the WORLD AND I WOULD FEEL SAFER IF NONE OF YOU JERKS WAS IN POWER!
You Betcha!

@mike February 24th, 2009 6:06 pm ET
Hey BO:What would Reagan do? I'II call him...You BETCHA!!!
@ JJ February 24th, 2009 5:58 pm ET
I'm also getting tired of yet another campaign speach…..Don't LISTEN!!!

@ William A Schaedler

You wouldn't know a true person of character if they came up and bit you on the rear. There's hope for our country with Obama, but unfortunately, no hope for you.

Go take your meds and leave decent people alone.

Sounds good, this is my president and the man I voted for. What a wonderful world.

Obama 2012

"I've instructed my members, when the camera cuts to you, look like someone pissed in your corn flakes," said Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY.)

Seems the Republican members of Congress have been busy today taking lessons and practicing their grumpy expressions to "wear" for the TV cameras during President Obama's speech tonight. Can the quote above and their theatrics really be true? If so, it's disgusting, petty, childish, and irresponsible of them to "plan" such a "show" - who do they think they're fooling? It truly seems that the Republican Party has become "The Party of NO" with ZERO credibility!

I'll be tuned in!!

Does anybody care what the republicans think?
They have lost all credibility and are doomed.
I find them laughable.
Too bad these people were voted into office – I guess you get what you vote for. LOL

No room in the inn at Jindal comment:
I sure hope Jindal and Repubs read some of the comments out there and realize they will committ suicide should they come off as negative tonight....my advice....give solutions not condemation....people have had negative from their toes to the tip of their hair and just don't want to hear it anymore.....it will go against you if you keep putting out the negative.

Mr. President,
I'd like to take responsiblity for our nations future. But first, I need to hold a " Responsibility Summit " !!!!!!

ray ray typical repug. No solutions, only insults. So immature and so typical.

HAHA! you DO >/b>wish you had someone like Obama – just with white skin.

Obama wants transparency in government – we see right through you Repugs.

I can't wait to watch Obama's speech. But I know what the Repugs wil say, so I'll turn the channel after that.

The Repugs are showing us what they're made of – all NO WAY and no answers. They can't get rich off Obama's plan. They can't give money and contracts to their cronyies. Boo hoo! It's so funny watching them implode.

I'll vote for Obama again and again – primary, general, he'll win again hands down (especially with the clowns the GOP circus has to offer!)

HAHA!!!

@Paul, Riverside CA February 24th, 2009 5:29 pm ET

"I watch in joy every time our President speaks"

Ha ha. Do you get a thrill up your leg?

Who wants a free vacation to Alabama,Kentucky or South Carolina?Didnt think so.they should just close their travel Agencies.But they sure love foreign carmakers that bust unions and give great payoffs for the republicans.

Gonna be another um, um, um speech. stop talking around the subject and give us details!!!! Getting really tired of this. Thought the "One" was suppose to resolve all the issues and CHANGE, what happen to that?????? It is Change allright but not what you thought it was gonna be, even the LIbs beloved Bill Ayers, stated that Obama looks like he will go down because of Afghanastan!

I will be listening to hear if this is more of a Presidential speech or whether it sounds as if he is still running for office. Until he comes out with more detail, which his aides say he won't be – and lets those who are in trouble or uncertain about what is going to happen next, he can offer hope all he wants but the devil is in the details and until people know them- the uncertainty will never go away because they don't know what wil happen next.

connect the dots@

Skull and Crossbones is a Yale society.

President Obama went to Harvard

And you nincompoops wonder why no one takes dittohead's talking points seriously.

We had to endure the wrath of your precious "W" for 8 very long years, give Obama a break. What a bunch of sore losers you Republicans are! And so pessimistic.

CSA writes, "Why are republicans like drunks at the bar?"

Yes – if we'd JUST act like "good democrats" and leave the bar drunk, run the car into a lagoon letting the pregnanty woman drown, get back to the compound, have a few more drinks to calm the nerves, and then call the police – 12 hours later.

Gosh if we'd all just act like good democrats!

@RAY RAY, BILLIE BOB, BUBBA, HICK, WHATEVER just go away with your stupid remarks. You need to disappear from this site as much as Palin needs to disappear.

We had a happy talk President for 8 years and look where we are now. I am an adult and I want the President to tell me the truth, and nothing but the whole truth about what his advisors say about the condition of the economy.

Save the cookies, milk and bedtime stories for the under 5 crowd.

Oh please its just a speech like the many he has given in the past. Lets hope the actions he is taking works.

Why are republicans like drunks at the bar?Because they just dont get it when its closing time.

oh goodie – another speech!! Sounds like the same campaign speech he's been giving for the last 2 years.

Perhaps after Michelle will give her 30 minute stump speech how Obama will heal the oceans and fix our broken souls???

Mr. President, I know it will take time but I have faith in you. You have convinced me and a lot of other people that there is hope in politicians, some of you really care about the people in this country.
Keep up the good work President Obama!

@JJ, Before you make stupid remarks about the market, look up where the market was when Bush was still in office. And about the President opening his mouth, not only is he a great speaker, he can also spell. Check your spelling, how do you spell speech you idiot

I am 20yr old black felmale from a small city in Alabama. I'm surprised at some of my fellow Americans. Do people really think that all of our problem will be fixed in this short amount of time? Despite what you heard, President Obama is not the Messiah! He is man with a heavy load and many problems to fix. Problems that include education, jobs, health care, and wars; how can people truly think that he could fix it all with the flick of his wrist? I believe that in time, President Obama will solve many of the problems that we are facing as a nation. But we must do our part to help. That is what makes us the United States of America. Despite our differences on issues, we are still united! At least that's how it should be....

It really sounds good but it won't happen until a true person of character and perseverance occupies the White House. Someone every American can admire and respect. Maybe this will take place. But not for another four years. We must first suffer through another inept and clueless administration. Time is running out folks. The voters need to wise up and wise up quickly.

You can't measure inspiration.

MR PRESIDENT I SAY HERE TO YOU SIR, IF THE KKK'S ON THE RIGHT IN CONGRESS DO NOT WANT TO WORK TOGETHER WITH THE DEMOCRATS , I SAY SIR DONT TRY TO REACH OUT TO THESE MORONS ON THE RIGHT ANYMORE. SIR YOU HAVE DONE ENOUGH SINCE YOU BECAME PRESIDENT SO I SAY FORGET ABOUT THESE RACISTS ON THE RIGHT AND YOU AND THE DEMOCRATS DO WHAT EVER IT TAKES TO BRING THIS COUNTRY BACK ON ITS FEET AFTER THE REPUBLICANS AND THERE MORONS PRESIDENT WHO LEFT IT THIS WAY.

Who,other than all the Bushes,Robert Gates and President Obama are members of the Skull and Crossbones gang that are being sued by the indian nations for stealing Geronimos remains?

That's what a dictator does, when the peasants grumble. He comes out says a few pointless empty words and goes back to building his empire.
Paul in Riverside....what are you smoking. I think its time for you to get back on you unicorn and head on back to your rapidly depreciating valued home in the inland empire. Seriously, you need to take anything a politician says with a grain of salt.
So much for change. When BO is finished with this country, loose “Change” is all we will have left in our pockets.

I love the bozos who are complaining that – gasp – Obama is giving a speech tonight. The State of the Union is just that, a speech. To my knowledge, no President has whipped out a pen mid-speech during the State of the Union and signed an Executive Order.

Grow up, folks. Tonight's a traditional speech that has been given by presidents past and likely by presidents future.

Obama *is* taking action. Tonight, however, he's giving a speech, just as Bush did before him.

donna brazil [6] shot inc a baby along the parade route during the madi gras. today . and its only the beginning . god don't like UGLY and the so- called big easy is a ugly place. i don't care how you people spin what that big evil plantaion is all about. i would predict a hurricane to finish the job this year but who would want to take on all them people who just kill,steal and destory.

You go on with your bad self Mr. President! There are millions who believe we will be stronger than we were before.

You tell them, we are Americans and we can do whatever we set our mind to.

We have been down this road before and we have recovered; this time, we are creating a new generation that will take us into the 21st. century and beyond.

Go get em Barry!

smokesignals, can we afford more than 30 days of Obama/Democrat spending? In 30+ days he has increased the national debt 1/5 of what Bush did in 8 years. If that keeps up, he'll make Bush look like a financial wizard. Mind you I ddn't like Bush. I'm glad he's gone. But I thought BO promised us changes. He preaches financial responsibility, then spends money we don't have. He sends 900 MILLION dollars to the Palestinians, while our people suffer.

If he took 200 Billion of the stimulus package, and gave 100,000 to people in forclosure, he would have helped 2,000,000 people!!! That would have ended the housing crisis, the bank crisis, and infused money into the economy. Instead he gave it to the corrupt and greedy banks, mortgage company and all the rest that donated so generously to his campaign.

Let's face it, we were duped. Let's here his sweet talk tonight, so all you loosers can swoon and put cherios on your forhead and drool over Saint Obama. Then get your checkbook, because it's gonna cost us, big time.

Hillary told us "all he had done is made a good speech. "

When Democrats get in trouble they become Reaganesque, as evidenced by Obama's speech tonight. Barack Obama is not Reaganesque. He is Orwellian.

I would like to know when abortions and planned parenthood became more important than our kids education. Education funds were cut and abortions and planned parenthood gets billions here in America and IN OTHER COUNTRIES. I would really like to know how the best interest of the United States was served in this decision.

Hey BO:

What would Reagan do?

You can either curse the darkness or look for the light. WE must look for the light together. The country's success is based on it's citizens' tenacity. If you want to be spoon fed, that's fine. But please cease the whining. If you want to be part of the solutions to our collective problems, let's share ideas and stop finger pointing. Everybody grab an oar and let's start the rowing!

Just got my new issue of Rushustler,the centerfold features Rush and a chimp,and his golden microphone,dont miss it republicans,you can have hours of fun.

America simply needs stability and an end to surprises coming in the back door. We need rules which apply to all so we know what to expect. Government can no longer choose which laws they wish to enforce from immigration to financial we must enforce all laws to level the field.

i will admit pelosi needs to go. to me shes a sell-out an a ol hat like charles schummer and barney frank. its time to get these sandbaggers and goldbrickers to get the boot .and be replaced by moderate dems these 3 are just riding the congressional "gravy train" . and would turn lobbyist anyway lets hurry these frauds into retirement. and i vote democrat and can't stand these fakes.

I read the comments from the GOPers, they criticize, demean, hate, spew the typical vile........ BUT you offer NO solutions or ideas! Nor do you take the blame for "your president's" DISASTER.

Again and again I ASK:

WHERE WERE ALL THE SO-CALLED-FISCAL-CONSERVATIVES WHEN BUSH WAS...........DOUBLING....... OUR NATIONAL DEBT?

WHEN BUSH WAS SPENDING $10 BILLION A MONTH IN IRAQ???

WHEN BUSH WAS OKAYING ALL THE PORK SPENDING FROM THE GOP CONTROLLED CONGRESS (1994-JAN.2007)??????

HYPOCRITES.

PLEASE OBAMA SUPPORTERS LET'S BOYCOTT ALL THINGS ....FOX...... "FAUX NEWS" ........MOVIES, SPORTS, EVERYTHING! THEY ARE FREE TO SPEW HATE .........AND WE ARE FREE TO BOYCOTT!

I would like it explained to America why School funds were cut. When our schools are already haveing a hard time. Yet the abortion clinics and planned parenthood here in the United States and in other countries get billions of dollars. Are they more important than our childrens education. These children are our future.

I'm also getting tired of yet another campaign speach.....

Thank you President Obama. I appreciate what you have done already. It is true that you do give a good speech but thank goodness your actions speak even louder than your words.

I believe you are the person for 'such a time as this' in our country.
A little old lady at our church gave us a single word of advice that served us well, for all these years, and I now give it to you: "Continue"!

Nice gain in the market today..... All to be lost after he speaks again.....
All talk, no details, no plan, no recovery......

One thing he will say is that most of our troops will be out of Iraq by August 2010. Sounds pretty much like that is when "conditions on the ground" would warrant such a pullout. Thanks for following Bush's lead on this, it's good to hear him acknowledge that Bush was right on this.

I'm behind our President...100%!
My opinion is that it is going to take a lot of effort on the part of everyone one of us to get this country back on track, no thanks to eight years of Republicans screwing it up.
Let's give him more than 30 days to do what he said he will do.

Was the excerpt the English or Chinese version?

Obama needs more than just 30 days to fix what why homeboy BUSH and his buddy dumb Chenny messed up in 8 years. Weak up people!!!

Start the "camera count". Let's see how many times Obama "needs" the audiences, the cameras, the clapping in order to do his job. Americans don't need sales talk – they need substantive remedies. Since he has been President – he's been in front of crowds yapping while the stock market sinks, the unemployment rates go up, people are displaced from their homes, crying on the news and this guy is smiling.

IT WOULD HELP A LOT IF YOU WOULD STOP THE UNTRUTH WORDS YOU DAILY HAVE POSSED FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS. ADMIT IT YOU BOUGHT THE WHITE HOUSE , AND YOU DEAR FRINDS , FROM WALL STREET TO YOUR DARLING PELOSI AND COMPANY , REID . ACORN , AYERS AN NOW YOUR STIMULUS , IS SO FULL OF PORK . AN NOW YOU ARE TRYING TO CONVINCE EVERYONE . THAT THIS IS ALL FROM THE BUSH YEARS. BEST YOU LOOK A LITTLE FUTHER BACK , OF THE YEARS OF YOUR DARLING FELLOW DC. HOW HE STARTED NAFTA. THERE IS PLENTY OF BLAME, NOW ALL WE ARE GOING TO HEAR IS , YOU INHERITED ALL THIS. WHOOOOO LOOK WHAT YOUR FRINDS IN WALL STREET DONE , FOR YOU OWE THEM FOR ALL THE LUMP SOME DOLLARS THEY GAVE TO YOU .

FIRST AND FOREMOST , YOU GIVE TO ACORN , AN YOU FOR GOT ABOUT IKE , AN THE PEOPLE THAT GOT FLOODED OUT. YOU FOR GOT ABOUT THE DIS ABLED VETS AND THERE FAMILYS.

AND WE THE TAX PAYERS PICK UP THE TAB FOR YOUR SWEETHEART PELOSI TO FLY BACK AN FORTH zT A COST OF $60,000 EACH TWICE A WEEK OR $ 5,7000,000 ANUALLY. FOR SHE DOES NOT LIKE A SMALLLER AIRCRAFT. TO CRAMPED FOR HER STYLE.

YOU TOLD THE AUTO MAKERS TO GIVE UP THERE PLANES. LETS SEE YOU TELL PELOSI , SORRY DEAR TAKE A GREYHOUND OR START PUMPING A BIKE. NAW THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. YOU NEED HER FOR THE NEXT ELECTION , YOU ARE ALREADY SRKING ON WITH ACORN AN WALL STREET .

Wow, this guy can do absolutely no wrong for some reason or another. He gives us a bill that ONLY aids certain homeowners. What about us that were financially responsible and decided against even BUYING a home because we couldn't afford it? So my taxes will go to help a few? Ridiculous. I can understand stimulus for the financial sectors, we all benefit from them staying in business. But I don't benefit from Bob down the street getting some of my tax money to help him keep his home. I wish I could own a home, can't afford it though. What about the wonderful car stimulus package we did? Oh wait, the car corporations will STILL go bankrupt, good call on that one. Nobody is going to be buying cars right now, but hey, money well spent Barack. What about this new stimulus package that has important spending such as providing for new sod for the Smithsonian musuem grounds. Wow, that is stimulating. I don't care what you have to say Barack, get back to work and come up with something competent, that's what we are paying you for, not for pretty speeches that "inspire" us. You are proving to be as worthless as old King George Bush.

Just fix the economy already. Less talk, more action. Just do it. It can't be THAT hard. I am sure professional economists already know exactly what to do to get this thing fixed pronto, so let's just do whatever they recommend. Besides, giving fancy speeches that sound nice is just silly. If we wanted someone like that we would have elected him President by now. What is the whole point of speeches anyway? It's not like anyone pays any attention to them. Certainly not the traders on Wall Street. Whoops I misspelled "traitors" in that last sentence. Sorry.

Thank you President Obama!!! This republican voted for you and after watching the republican party NOT working with you I will vote for you again and ANY other democrat that comes along!!! The repub are soooo out of touch with working America and Jindal is out of touch too!! What is wrong with the republican party? Living in ivory towers!!!

@no corporate politics,
You dolt! That;s why we voted for Obama. Because he didn't just tell people what they wanted to hear. He has said all along that this would be a difficult road. He even said during the campaign when asked, "Are you afraid you might lose?" And he said, "No. I'm afraid I might win."
He never said this would be easy. He never said things were rosy. He never said We'd have immediate Peace and Prosperity.
It's the Republicans that tell the Christians what they want to hear and then sell their votes to the highest bidder. It's the republicans that haven't done anything to stop abortion, until they finally screamed and they banned harvesting stemcells from zygotes that would be flushed anyways. It's the republicans who controlled the Congress, Courts, Executive Branch and the media. Yet, we still don't have prayer in public schools.
The only promise they kept was to cut taxes for rich guys.
You are the one who was lied to. Not Me.
You are the one who is dissillusioned (and should be). Not me.
You are the one who was cheated and didn't know it. I was too.
But, that's why I voted for Barrack Obama.
Liberals won. Get Used to it.

This is what we need to hear because this country is the greatest and
everybody knows it I'm tired of all the doom and gloom our president ,
or the press is going to solve our problems we are if we can remember where we come from for example we all have lost a job at least once in our life and what did we do we got off our butts and found a new job , also we lived when money was tight before and look
we made it and we came back stronger and the stock market been
down before and it came up again and finally if you lost your house that means 1 thing if you can do it once you can do it again so don't give up that's not what we are about , just get every morning and say
how can I make this country better and remember the old saying
WHAT COMES AROUND GOES AROUND and WHAT DOESN'T BREAK US WILL MAKE US STRONGER.

Who give a big crap how good a speech is? For crying out loud – we need action – not speeches, false promises, money spending and lies that we've gotten so far!

Just what we need in time of crisis. Rhetoric.

LOL,

I bet Republicans wish they had someone with just an ounce of what President Obama is.

I watch in joy every time our President speaks. Whenever the last President would speak I would start to drool and stick cherios on my forehead.

CNN reports that a majority of Americans think Obama will give a good speech.

That is what he does and well reading from a teleprompter.

What really matters is positive action and we have seen little of that in the first month.

CNN Retards....this is not high school and Joey gave a really good speech or will give a really good speech. Your sophomoric reporting is an insult to all thinking Americans.

I got a preview of the speech:

"Hi. Remember how I let my followers believe in immediate peace, prosperity, totally new government, hearts and flowers everywhere?

Um, nevermind. Thank you."

obama is overexposed.

get it done

we need jobs
