Midknight Review -- new and revised: How many watched the State of the Union ?

How many watched the State of the Union ?

It was the lowest total of all four speeches, 37 million down from 52 million in 2009 and 48 million in 2010. The number is significant because it certainly represents an enthusiasm level that is nowhere near the levels of 2008, when he won the election by just 7% of the vote.

Another gutsy call by the Commander in Chief, just before the State of the Union Address. Of course, conservatives will NEVER give Obama credit for this, but they'd surely be crucifying him if we lost American lives. Obama made this risky call - he had politically a lot to lose and not much to gain, save for the lives of 2 American captives in Somalia.

"Gutsy?" You think it takes "guts" to make a call to rescue two American's kidnapped by terrorist? And he has nothing to risk in the political arena. He can't get more unpopular, you moron.

Let's return the favor, shall we?

CLINTON: You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about. That’s why I believe if we are fortunate enough to win back the House and/or the senate, that’s when civility can start again. But until then, the only thing that the Republicans seem to recognize and respect is strength. And you heard how the Republican members led by Mitch McConnell, the president really demeaned the confirmation process.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
