OK, So I Am Watching The Speech

Nice to see a little fire from Obama defending common sense regulation.

7:36
Looks like the poetry is coming.  Lincoln is a sure bet.

7:37
Laying a real challenge over infrastructure spending and federal role in American economy.  This is good.

7:38
Nice theme of community over individualism.  Meanwhile, the local news team's News Van keep zipping back and forth across the bottom of the screen.  Annoying.

7:39
"My plan is reasonable and bipartisan.  I am saying we can do this."  And let's see how THAT flies on the right side of the aisle.

7:40
Nice, Boehner.  Way to golf clap.  Maybe you should have stayed on the course.

7:41
Obama definitely laying the groundwork for a real campaign for this bill.  That is exactly right.  Make this the beginning of 2012, because the GOP only responds to political pressure.

7:42
Bob Schiefer: "He threw a high hard one at Congress."  Hell yeahs.

7:48
And the f-ing terrorists have to go and make noise and steal the show.

7:53
Douglas Holtz-Eakins is on PBS and is a dick.  If he's an Economist, then that really is the dismal science.
