So I gotta give the GOP credit here, the opposition response used to be like 5 minutes, be one person in a room with a camera. Now it's just a competing SOTU. Dude's been going on for like a half hour now.

McD: We (Govt) must expand opportunity, somehow. We want small govt too, tho.

About 10^7 times better than Bobby Jindal. Dude is like a mocha scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz.

How was the repub response not a fiery Ron Paul blasting liberty with the Battle Hymn of the Republic?

Is it wrong I gave up 50 minutes into the President's speech and am just skipping the rest of the night?

Responses are always boring.

PBS:

Liberal Guy: It was a great speech.

Very Liberal Guy: It was a very good speech. A supermarket of issues. Not a great one, unless it starts a turn. [?]

I'll summarize: All future economic direction and growth (lol) will come from the government. We're taking over everything.

CNN has a "Stimulus Desk" I wonder what intern has to work on it there. MWA HA HA

Also clarifies tax cut vs stimulus tax refund. and of course the focus group. Not bad CNN, but no drama sans Dobbs.
