State of the Union -- Domestic Section

Once again, a speech against isolationism/protectionism... "economic retreat" -- interesting term.

"An agenda for a nation that competes with confidence." OK, let's hear it.

More tax cuts... there goes the throwing hat.

When will someone teach this guy that nonrenewal of tax cuts does is not the same thing as raising taxes?

"Make the tax cuts permanent" -- biggest applause line so far.

Yes... be proud that you cut taxes on benefits to the poor by $14 billion while spending $100+ billion A YEAR on wars. Great.

OK, a commission to figure out solutions to Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security...

HE'S SMIRKING!!!!!!! There goes the hat again. When he's giving a speech, he really always does look like he's just pulled a fast one on someone and is surprised he did it.

One quick line on border security... nothing new.

Health savings accounts, portability (that's a good point).

The bullshit medical liability reform crap... third hat throw.
