Clinton make President? Oh lord help us all. You know you're sunk when it comes to a health bill with her in office. What did she get done when that project was handed to her by her husband, except sending Bill off for an HIV test? The Dems. better think of another candidate. I would vote for Bill if he could run again. Anyone that can run a war get a blowjob and soak his cigars, isn't doing a bad job in the oval office.

I sat smugly and watched that silver spooned prick spew out 45 minutes worth of bullshit and lies.   That man has completely lost all credibility and I can't imagine him being able to get any of his half assed proposals pushed through.

What was amazing to me was that my Conservative Republican parents were equally disgusted.   My mom was especially dismayed that when he spoke about AIDS, there was mention of 1.2 billion going to, where else, Africa.  I almost think he'd be better off just going to his damn ranch and shutting the fuck up.   However, it may be in our best interest to have him there for the next couple years to fuck up everything royally.   

I don't feel anyone would trust any health care plan he suggested.  God help us all if they do.

You know I find the whole State of the Union just an act.   Luckily, the curtains are coming to a close on this dreadful production!

Of course I disagree with everyone on this one. Ws Social Security problem was not his program, it was 99% of pols dont have the guts or moral fiber to save it and say what must be done and W as we all know has serious communication problems. We have heard nothing from Dems on how to save SS. Someone must stand up soon and say enough is enough,benefits have to be cut by raising the age and by lowering benes paid to high income earners.

Or you could do what we did in Canada, the premiums for CPP (SS equivalent) were raised.  The system is now very well-funded.  We have this crazy notion up here: you don't get something for nothing.  If the public wants a viable retirement benefit plan (as they keep saying in polls) they should be prepared to pay for it.

We also don't think having masses of poor seniors eating cat food is a great idea.
