Yeah, that book put me to sleep, too. OTOH, the SOTU was a laugh riot. "Let's try common sense." Sure, why not? You've tried everything else.
"Just like a family, we'll have a budget and live within it." Wow! You mean that the government could have a budget and not just spend money on anything whenever it wants? What a novel idea! Why didn't anyone think of that before? No wonder he's President! He's so smart!
I also liked the way he's recycling all his old campaign promises. It was very crafty of him the way he didn't keep any of them. They worked so well for him the first time and now he gets to promise to do them all over again.

He really should retire some of his old material, though. Some of those jokes are getting too old to be funny. Like the one about how the government can run health care better than the private sector and more cheaply. Then there's the one about how it's all Bush's fault, or how it's the evil corporations fault that the politicians are selling their votes to the highest bidders. Those just don't make me laugh any more.

I am proud of myself - I managed to watch 40 minutes of the horseshit before my blood pressure just started to climb and, well that was enough. Can see I did not miss anything - honestly we would not likely miss anything now would we?
I have tried to give this guy an honest chance and he continually manages to even f*$& that up. He is a lying commie rat bastard whose only legacy will be that he tried to impose socialism (or even communism) on this country and we told him and his toadies to go to hell.....after that is where Teddy is - swimming forever.

Michael Barone is a brilliant (and perhaps my favorite) political journalist.
He is brilliant, dry, incisive and on the money.
I had the pleasure of seeing him speak to the Federalist Society a few years ago and he was outstanding.
If my memory is correct, he went to Harvard for undergrad and to Yale for law school (I think), but he still came out all right.
Contrasting Michael Barone with E. J. Dionne, Howard Fineman and Chris Matthews, who are all utter shills, is like comparing Ernest Hemingway or William Faulkner with a pulp novelist.
