94. oh, MIRT!!! Clean up in the stacks!

[CAG]

6. That shut the bastards up

[calimary]

84. Wasn't that sweet!?!

They thought they were so funny and so alpha to throw that applause snark at him and he just walked all over it. Their cheers got stuck in their damn throats!

[ZX86]

7. Ha!

[bullwinkle428]

8. How many freeper heads just went "Scanners"?

[Roland99]

13. HA!

[NewJeffCT]

20. I was thinking similar

[ballabosh]

9. I was laughing. NT

[spanone]

10. FUCKING A & great delivery

[herding cats]

11. I laughed!

He's fast on his feet, that's for sure.

[SummerSnow]

14. cause he is so sick of their shit

[herding cats]

17. It feels that way.

He's had six long years of practice with that kind of crap. He's good at making them look like idiots now, a pro even.

[Dustlawyer]

65. I think he set them up for that. He knew some would applaud the line, they are nothing if not

predictable.

[1StrongBlackMan]

68. Yep! n/t

[Jackpine Radical]

97. Absolutely. I thought so at the time.

[demtenjeep]

12. BOOYAH

That's one of the best lines tonight!!!!!

[chrisa]

27. That light bulb is a lazy bum.

Stop trying to mooch from others and change yourself already!

[JDPriestly]

28. Brilliant!

[volstork]

16. Oh

SNAP!!

[Renew Deal]

18. That's was classic

[MohRokTah]

19. I LOVED how the GOP was applauding "I have no more campaigns to run"

just before he hits them in the face with his zinger.

[Roland99]

38. I have to admit...I did find that funny on their part

[Bucky]

88. Maybe it was more an applause of relief they wouldn't have to run up against him again.

Kinda like how relieve they were when Bill Clinton left the White House for good. (*dum, dum, dummmm*)

[Bobbie Jo]

21. SMACK!

[LawDeeDah]

22. can you tell me the pre-punch line to that? I'm not watching it live

will catch up tomorrow.

[Roland99]

23. He said he won't be campaigning anymore

and that got some claps from Republicans and laughs generally all around.

[LawDeeDah]

24. :)

that's our guy.

[tblue37]

40. "I have no more campaigns to run. My only agenda is. . . ."

Last edited Wed Jan 21, 2015, 12:55 AM - Edit history (1)

The Republicans start clapping about his not having any more campaigns, so he then quipped, "I know 'cause I won both of them!" And the Democrats started stomping and clapping and cheering to beat the band. (His facial expression after the clip was the best part, I think.)

[dixiegrrrrl]

75. Here is the clip of that segment.

[erpowers]

25. Funny

That was really funny. I screamed and laughed out loud. His response was just crazy.

[JDPriestly]

31. Obama has a bood sense of humor. That reflects the fact that he does not have an overly

high opinion of himself. What a great person. Michelle and his children and the rest of his family are very lucky.

He is a great president and a wonderful person. That's an unusual combination. FDR was a great president but sometimes not such a great person.

That was a wonderful speech. Positive. With proposals for the future. It was a looking-forward speech. I am thrilled and proud of our President.

[nolabear]

26. So sweet. Damn if he didn't!

[HipChick]

29. Don't fugg with the President...

He comes back at ya quick...that was a good one..

[WinstonSmith4740]

37. That was freakin' GREAT.

The Rethugs must have thought they were still dealing with Junior. He'd still be staring at the camera with his usual "deer in the headlights" look. Or rolling on the floor with blood coming out of his ears because he tried to, you know, think.

[3catwoman3]

30. Ka- POW!

Game. Set. Match.

That was sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

32. tee hee!

I enjoyed that too.

He's the best!

[Lifelong Protester]

33. Kah to the BOOM!!

I nearly jumped off the couch! (while wishing I could be half as quick as him).

[loyalsister]

34. I loved Biden's expression

He had this arrogantly amused look on his face.

[Scuba]

35. Best line of the night.

[mtngirl47]

36. Priceless!

He had lots of great lines tonight...I especially liked the one that we need to stop worrying about one pipeline and fix our infrastructure!

Really loved it when he put McCain and Graham in their places for having praised Putin!

Love my President Obama!

[napkinz]

39. K&R

[arthritisR_US]

41. The middle finger strikes again and I loved it! nt

[PragmaticLiberal]

42. Joe Manchin thought he was being arrogant.

I'm shocked.....

[lovemydog]

43. In case anyone missed it, here's what happened:

In talking about how his next two years are about helping strengthen the middle class, the President said:

“I have no more campaigns to run."

A couple of people clap.

President Obama looks at them.

"I know because I won both of them.”

[elias49]

49. But what was it that made him say "I know"

He was answering something someone said. I don't think it was just the errant applause.
Someone will dig out the truth.

[loyalsister]

60. It might have been a turn on the applause

Turning it around so the applause could be interpreted as they were applauding because he won. It was a pretty classy way to deal with what amounts to heckling.

[malaise]

93. That's what I thought too n/t

[Cha]

44. Someone has already made a graphic..

45. mike drop

54. This one too LOL:

[Cha]

55. Hilarious! thanks ecstactic!

[lovemydog]

57. lol!

[cheapdate]

63. Great Scott! That's funny!

[Bobbie Jo]

67. Love this!

[Number23]

89. I am totally, wildly in love with this.

I could stare at this all day...

[BlueCaliDem]

101. LOVE that graphic!! eom

[napkinz]

76. oh yeah!!!!

[Cha]

90. They were heckling at the SOTU, napkinz.. Prez only gave it right back. :)

[LawDeeDah]

77. :D

!

[ailsagirl]

46. I love this man!!!!!!!

Did you all catch that barely perceptible wink???

[Ms. Toad]

50. For those who missed it

[YoungDemCA]

51. This President is a BAMF

nt

[lovemydog]

53. Here's the clip. Classic.

[AtheistCrusader]

56. Ooooohh that is going to piss some people off.

Oh that was delicious. Perfect.

[lovemydog]

58. I think many will appreciate his sense of humor.

I like how he even winked at the folks after saying that.

[AtheistCrusader]

59. I know

but I can hear the 'serious decorum of the SOTU' crowd harrumphing already.

Right wing media is going to be entertaining tomorrow.

[George II]

70. True, but then why were republicans CHEERING about him not having any more campaigns????

[AtheistCrusader]

71. An excellent and extremely useful counterpoint.

Hell, I didn't even realize that. I was planning on trotting out 'You Lie!'.

[Roland99]

74. Because he cannot run for President anymore

and he's the anti-Christ in their deranged minds.

[George II]

82. I know that, but my comment was in reference to the rightwing whining about Obama....

....lowering the decorum of the State of the Union address, even after THEY lowered it themselves.

I thought the whole incident was hysterical - I love the way Obama repeatedly (and relishes) putting them down, a la "Please proceed Governor"!

[loyalsister]

80. They could only be cheering because he won- not just one

but both of them, and can never run again. ooops. That will definitely be one of my very favorite moments of his presidency.

[Roland99]

62. That slam dunk should make ESPN's Play of the Day!

[George II]

83. I'm annoyed with myself for watching C-Span last night. I thought all new outlets would be using...

...the same feed. It was only after the speech that I saw the networks had their own and had both Biden and Boner on the screen throughout. I saw some excerpts afterward, and Boner's reaction to some of the comments were priceless - at times he looked like he was having a hard time staying awake, other times he looked like he couldn't wait to get out for a smoke and a drink.

Overall, it was the most "stick it up your ass" State of the Union message that I've seen in 30-40 years that I've watched.

[Major Hogwash]

61. Best line of the night. The Republicans will never forget that comment!

The young Republican freshmen members of Congress who were clapping just got there!
And they should realize that President Obama was re-elected twice, so by now none of their snarky comments, or yelling out "You lie", is going to affect the way he carries out his job as President of these United States.

[Tanuki]

64. Best smackdown since the one with the fly!

[mountain grammy]

66. Excellent! Well played, Mr. President!

[George II]

69. republicans are now whining that Obama was "taunting him", but he never would have said that if...

....the republicans weren't taunting Obama about not running for office again.

Life is a one-way street for these morons, isn't it?

[nirvana555]

72. Loved it!!! N/T

[Ferd Berfel]

73. BANG!

[SunSeeker]

78. Obama is quick on his feet...and hilarious.

[Stephen Retired]

79. BAM!

[LeftOfWest]

81. HIGHLY recommended!

Go President Class Act.

[calimary]

85. As they said in the old Almond Joy commercial

"Indescribably delicious!!!"

[libdem4life]

86. Have had a ball reading all the comments. Now it does seem like he just might have set them up,

which is even craftier than it being a quick reply. Especially after the Fox-less-News place cards.

So predictable. Crow is best served up roasted and steaming hot...with a wink!

Since I never watch Fox News, I hope someone here who does...god love you for taking it for the team...will weigh in on any shift in "Fair and Balanced" in the near future.

I'm thinking now that he's at 50%, they'd be reining in the vitriol a bit.

[Bucky]

87. Why is the manly party of guns, God, & defense budgets whining like a bunch of babies about this?

I mean, tit for tat. If you do a little sarcastic round of applause, you got to be big enough to take the responses you get. Pouty little brats, I tells ya...

[workinclasszero]

91. WTG Prez!

BOOM in your f**kin hypocrite faces republican slimeballs!!!

[stonecutter357]

95. K&R!

[napkinz]

96. ...

[russ1943]

98. That's nice!

[Demeter]

99. And Americans lost

[Roland99]

100. Demeter!
