talking notes tonight

[Illisezek]

President Barack Obama! For his portrayal of a Republican during his State of the Union speech on January 25, 2011.

One of the best acting jobs I've seen in a long time. Congratulations, Mr. President.

You mean he vowed that his sole purpose in life is to prevent Obama's re-election in 2012? Wow, I must have been watching the wrong channel.

Not surprisingly, my "favorite" part of the night was Michele Bachman: Reading off cue cards and (at least on CNN, and I would have expected a pool feed), not looking into the camera. Even from the get go, using props (is that a first for a semi-official response from a SOU party response) that actually defeat her point. Talking about the first year of Obama's tenure, when unemployment spiked? Two things I took from that: One, the Tea Party still seems to think 2009 was on Obama They used numbers from December '10 for 2011, so logically, the numbers were taken from early in the year for '09. I wonder how long Obama was in office, or if he even was, when the sampling was taken.

The second thing I took out of that was she totally ignored that her own graph showed a decline in unemployment for the two years after that point. Her own graph showed Obama's doing something right.

Oh, and I'm sorry. Did she say this nation has the world's best healthcare?! Oye, gavalt!

It turns out that Fox News supplied the pool camera, much to the chagrin of some conservative bloggers who averred that CNN must have intentionally sabatoged her somehow.

I've been calling for massive investment in R&D, innovation, education and infrastructure in order for the U.S. to be competitive in the global economy. I'm glad he followed my advice after we spoke. Good speech.
