2011 State of the Union

So what do people think of Obama's speech?

I was kind of half watching but I cheered when he said he intended to get rid of No Child Left Behind. Yay!

Lot's of rhetoric about exceptionalism and vaguely improving stuff. Blah blah blah. An final standing ovation rate of .75 (forty-five during the one hour speech). Hooray for sycophantism and crowd mentality I guess.

I did like his talk about reforming healthcare reform.

I didn't get a chance to watch it. Is there a link where I can watch it, again? (I already looked and could not find.)

The transcript:

The talk of a four (?) year freeze on federal budgets it interesting. It will never ever happen in a million years. I'm hoping that he'd trying to do what people said he should have done with healthcare, start from a position that he can argue for but doesn't really support and bargain his way down to what he does want.

"Let’s also remember that after parents, the biggest impact on a child’s success comes from the man or woman at the front of the classroom. In South Korea, teachers are known as “nation builders.” Here in America, it’s time we treated the people who educate our children with the same level of respect. We want to reward good teachers and stop making excuses for bad ones. And over the next ten years, with so many Baby Boomers retiring from our classrooms, we want to prepare 100,000 new teachers in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math.

"In fact, to every young person listening tonight who’s contemplating their career choice: If you want to make a difference in the life of our nation; if you want to make a difference in the life of a child – become a teacher. Your country needs you."

😆

Does this mean open season on teachers is over? Mike? What say ye?

So is Jones' shtick 'dump on whomever is president/in power'?

The faces he made concerning the Obamites was pretty funny, a bit exagerated, but still funny.
