"State of the Union"

Postby Evad on Tue Feb 12, 2013 1:39 pm

Center stage is a bunch of gun violence victims. A quick snip of what I saw on TV in the breakroom is "over twenty people affected by gun violence". Really?

Gun control is the main topic it seems. Let's not worry about the economy or anything...

Rep. Steve Stockman (R-Texas) is bringing Ted Nugent :lol:

During his speech about 'reducing gun violence' he surrounded himself with children. For the SOTU he's surrounding himself with victims of gun violence. What are the odds that he'll actually bring facts and statistics to support his gun control proposals instead of more rhetoric?

Facts? When has Obama EVER used facts? He's smart enough to know that "facts" can be refuted. Rhetoric is his strong suit. Rhetoric and emotion. :evil:

The odds are slim to none.

He is amazing at how he can twist a point into something else. I don't want to hear how he twists gun control in.

He went from some halfway decent education points to how we have to make immigration reform NOW faster than I could chew my nachos.

I wonder how many people believe he really raised minimum wage to $9/hour when all he did is say it should be done?

Here is the transcript. He is planning on placating to the emotions of the uneducated towards the end of his speech about "gun control".

And don't bother mentioning that the gun in Chicago was already illegal and no law stopped it.
