I like the picture he is painting. Now if only we can make it work.

Is John Boehner crying? I bet he's being mistaken for a wet leather chair.

He's the Weeper of the House.

A movie I was watching ended just in time for me to accidentally turn this on right before it started. Watched the whole thing, and it was a fantastic talk. Really liked how much of it he dedicated to education reform.

That Youtube channel translates the English questions to Swedish, and I must say it does an extraordinarily good job. What translate engine are they using?

 

[Doomination]

probably google translate

These things are really lame. The whole thing couldn't be more staged. Yes, it was a nice speech, but that's all it was. No real specifics, promises that can not possibly be kept (veto all legislation with earmarks, 80% energy renewable by 2030, etc), and this entire lets all hold hands and not call out the republicans in any way mentality.

I also have a feeling this president is starting to move in the direction that deregulation is a-okay. Which is a little funny after everything we've seen in the last couple of years when it comes to oil companies, big banks, and wall street. Also the fact he mentioned nothing of gun control really pissed me off.

"Mr. President, you don't believe in the Constitution. You believe in socialism"

tweeted during speech by Republitard Paul Broun (Ga.) who was sitting in the audience

I agree with him (partially )
what I don't agree with is inmendham's Nihilism.

I heard he make some salmon joke,do they will use salmons as fuel source?

Swedish, Norwegian, and Dutch all translate quite easily into English. The grammar is very similar as they are all descended from Proto-Germanic and linguistically speaking they are very closely related since they only diverged a few thousand years ago. If you use Google translate on any page in these languages from one to the other, you'll notice very little awkwardness as opposed to translating between a Germanic language and a Romance language for example.

The irony here is staggering.

Just a few years ago, you'd be damned to find a translator that could make the translated sentences even readable, nevermind gramaticially correct. So giant improvements have been made very recently.

He's running for re-election soon. He can't be bothered with life saving legislature when he could simply ride his rising approval rating to 2012 while appealing to the conservatives simply to avoid being called a Kenyan on FOX news. I like Obama, he's actually done a lot of good during his time in the white house although it's hard to see under all the bullshit that brings in higher ratings. We took a huge step by introducing preliminary discussion about our nuclear arsenal and what is the reaction? Outrage? ****ing kidding me?

As for deregulation, the money dictates for itself. It still amazes me that wall street got away with crippling our economy and sending the bill to the middle class. I know it's at the point of beating a dead horse but it's a horse worse beating, dismembering and lighting on fire.
