Things the Republican Party could not bring themselves to clap for tonight, a (much) condensed list.
 An improving economy
 A soaring stock market
 Americans getting health insurance
 Mention of "solar power"
 Tax cuts for working families (A tax cut Republicans don't like?)"
 Affordable childcare
 Tax cuts for families with children (Another one?)
 Equal pay for women
 "America has put more people back to work than Europe, Japan, and all advanced economies combined."
 A "free and open internet"
 Rewarding companies that "invest in America" (C'mon, really?)
 "Working Americans"
 A resolution for the use of the force against ISIL
 "Trying something new" with Cuba
 Acknowledging that climate change exists
 Prohibiting Torture
 Not persecuting "people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender."
 Closing Gitmo
 Making "voting easier for every single American"
 To be fair, many of those are controversial. Those working Americans are probably up to something.

President Obama is winning

As always, esp. in his SOTU address last night.

President Obama: "cause I won both campaigns"

...in the State of the Union address just now, President Obama says he's going to do what's best for America because he doesn't have any more campaigns to run, to which the Republican dominated Congress applauds.
 Obama responds, "I know, cause I won the last two elections."

President Obama's SOTU Address last night

Was fantastic.


"To CEO's and business owners: if you want something done, hire a Veteran."


"I won both campaigns" quote


"Try feeding or supporting a family on less then 15k a year"


"We will continue the fight against ISIS"


President Obama talked about free speech and other pressing matters as well.


The Republicans and conservatives will continue to oppose him, even though he is a moderate middle of the road, in many ways conservative like GWB.


And no he is not dividing our country but right wingers are.

American Sniper

"FYI: If you are marching into a state capitol with a couple hundred of your buddies armed to the teeth and wearing tactical gear, Snipers aren't on the roof because you're "standing up for freedom" they're on the roof because you look like ISIS.
