[ellaydubya]

4. Well, of course!!!

How could I not? That's my take on it.:party: :toast: :thumbsup: :dem: :headbang: :applause: :popcorn: :patriot:

[Gregorian]

5. Absolutely. I just realized Teddy Kennedy won't be there.

I have faith in Obama. I asked someone today if that seemed like a typical conservative style following. No, it isn't. We have truth on our side. Not lies.

It's Obama tonight, not Bush. So it's easier in that respect.

[JoePhilly]

6. %$%# yea!!!

[gateley]

7. Yes. And I just posted that I was pleasantly surprised at his speech to the

Joint Session, so I'm hopeful...

[doc03]

8. Of course I want to hear what he says not what the MSM

say he said.

[JuniperLea]

9. I'm hung up in the office until 6 Pacific...

I'll have to listen on the radio until I get home... but you know, it's kinda cool listening on the radio... like the olden days when families gathered to hear their president speak...

[msongs]

12. ah yes, the president that welcomed the hatred of his enemies nt

[Lisa D]

10. Of course.

Why wouldn't I?

[Brickbat]

13. No. I'll be switching back and forth between a story I have due tomorrow and the hockey game and

the updates on DU.

[IndianaGreen]

14. I will be channel surfing as I usually do in the evenings

Right now I am flipping between MSNBC and "A Funy Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum," but I am sure that I will be changing the channel to Discovery Science to watch the "Odessa Iron Meteorite Crater."

15. The Fraud of Irredemable Currency - From Andrew Johnson's 4th State of the Union Address 1867

A disordered currency is one of the greatest political evils. It undermines the virtues necessary for the support of the social system and encourages propensities destructive of its happiness; it wars against industry, frugality, and economy, and it fosters the evil spirits of extravagance and speculation. It has been asserted by one of our profound and most gifted statesmen that--Of all the contrivances for cheating the laboring classes of mankind, none has been more effectual than that which deludes them with paper money. This is the most effectual of inventions to fertilize the rich man's fields by the sweat of the poor man's brow. Ordinary tyranny, oppression, excessive taxation--these bear lightly on the happiness of the mass of the community compared with a fraudulent currency and the robberies committed by depreciated paper. Our own history has recorded for our instruction enough, and more than enough, of the demoralizing tendency, the injustice, and the intolerable oppression on the virtuous and well disposed of a degraded paper currency authorized by law or in any way countenanced by government. It is one of the most successful devices, in times of peace or war, expansions or revulsions, to accomplish the transfer of all the precious metals from the great mass of the people into the hands of the few, where they are hoarded in secret places or deposited in strong boxes under bolts and bars, while the people are left to endure all the inconvenience, sacrifice, and demoralization resulting from the use of a depreciated and worthless paper money.

my note:
When will Obama address the money scam? Like Johnson did in 1867.

[rug]

17. It's about time somebody deals with this.

[stray cat]

16. No - I already know everything there is to know..How could I learn anything about Obama from Obama

[NRaleighLiberal]

19. Will listen to and watch the speech on TV...and have an eye on the Duke game on the laptop

[Nite Owl]

20. Yes,

doing the rating with Moveon.org/MSNBC

[tigereye]

21. yes, Michelle always looks so great- love her outfits

(not that that's the main issue by any means)


It's such a relief to see an intelligent and articulate president.

[Inspired]

22. Yes and I predict that he is going to give a great speech.

That will be torn apart by the press immediately after.

[a la izquierda]

23. I'm in seminar until 9...

at least. On break now.

[chill_wind]

24. Yes. n/t

[LWolf]

25. No.

I'll read a transcript in the morning.

It's less stressful.

[Stand and Fight]

26. Easily. As frustrated as I am with his administration...

I watched that jerk-face Bush for eight years. Can't say I'll agree with everything the president will say, but I will hear him out at the very least.

[Stand and Fight]

27. "Thought I'd get some applause on that one..."

Gotta give it to the guy, he's a charmer -- that's for sure.

[Stand and Fight]

28. What a smug bunch of jackasses the Republicans are...

Mr. President, surely as you look out over that audience, you can sense the barely veiled contempt that I can so easily see on my television screen. These bastards are NOT going to work with you.

[DRoseDARs]

29. Rec, because unlike some other threadstarters on the subject, you aren't being an ass about it.

Thank you.
