I Guess We Now Have To Listen To The Cable News Talking Heads To Tell Us How To React To The Speech.

Well - the speech is now history. Now we have to listen to the talking heads to tell us how we should feel about the speech that POTUS just gave. It will be interesting to read the analysis here by DU posters and see how much of it echo's the talking points of the MSM. We are such lemmings.

4. My TV broke a few weeks ago and I haven't replaced it yet.

And at times like this I don't miss it.

5. I don't.

My teevee is off. I don't need, nor want the cable nooze readers telling me what to think, nor what I heard.

6. Or you could watch the NBA finals

Or you could watch anything else. Or you could turn off the TV and sit outside in the peace and quiet. Or you could do damn near anything else. Me? I'm going to watch the Cubs vs. the Athletics if it stops raining.

I threw out my t.v. after his inauguration, as it was supposed to be history: You haven't lived until you've seen an analog broadcast of the president swearing on an old bible amidst traditional colonial decor. I had to catch his latest speech on a neighbor's t.v.

It was eerily familiar to hear Obama invoke GOD during the conclusion of his speech, thus propping up the usual political figurehead, amid glittering generalities, for his lack of genuine efficacy.
