Watching Fox interview David Axelrod. Paraphrasing here:

Fox: We have Scott Brown who voted for the Massachusetts plan and says he supports 98% of the senate plan. Any chance of working with him?

Axelrod: That's true. And 68% of those polled in Massachusetts said they support that plan and they want him to work with us. We could use the MA plan as a template moving forward.

To all of the Scott Brown groupies I TOLD YOU SO! Scott Brown is ONLY useful in shaking up vulnerable democrats.

The Republican response by Gov. Bob McDonnell (R-VA) on CSPAN

 

[Bruno]

Okay, have to point this out on the Republican response

In the frame is

upper left - African American woman
lower left - U.S. Soldier
upper right - Asian American older gentleman wearing glasses
lower right - Caucasian woman

you're trying too hard, GOP

 

[1836er]

Sure. I'll believe this Republican governor's dedication to restoring to the United States small, frugal, government in line with the Constitution... when the state of Virginia begins nullifying federal regulations and welfare programs.

It slowed them down, that is what we wanted, now we MUST WORK HARD TO GET LIBERTY CANDIDATES ELECTED! Lets hope we can hold off these votes until next year or it completely dies.

Did he just say he applauded Obama's decision to send 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan?

LOL... indeed

 

[SamuraisWisdom]

That was an amazing speech. I didn't agree with a lot of it, especially toward the first half, but by the end I was moved. He was spot on when talking about the media, petty politics by both parties, and the general embarrassing nature by which our public officials act. Hopefully they all took something away from it, we will see.

 

[Uriel999]

he did, and he called us a democracy too. REPUBLIC

 

[ItsTime]

The rep response they just quoted the bible. geeeeeeeez

[Bruno]

I think overall he did a fantastic job. MUCH better than last year!

I turned off the State of the Union with disgust, however I just have to say that this is one of the best minimovies I've seen in weeks. Thank you for posting this,

Do you work for apple or something?

No, I just figured it more entertaining to watch a presentation by a CEO of a company that had it's most profitable quarter in a recession, rather than a blithering socialist spew forth how government is going to save us. Imagine if government were tasked to come out with a neat product like a iPad.

 

[axiomata]

I missed the SOTU speech and the simultaneously drinking game.

Will someone please let me know how many beers I owe?

Thanks.
