Here we go again: "millionaires, billionaires, and corporate jet owners", the evils of society. Vote this clown out in November!!

I know some of you have stopped reading these comments because the writers are too crazy - I'm even guilty of that from time to time - but wait till you read what the right wingers write in response to this article!!! It should be pretty good entertainment...full tinfoil hat mode!!! Read the comments tomorrow after the address as well...expect full whacko mode for at least two full days. In their world Bush was great and Willard Romney is the second coming of Reagan...except Reagan raised taxes five times and worked with...ugh...Democrats! Cheers!

Obama to signal campaign themes tonight . . . How is this night, different from any other night?

The difference, statist, is that, unlike his predecessor, this dude isn't going to question your patriotism just because you question his campaign priorities. There's much I disagree with as far as our current President's politics go, but I am not clinging to the delusion, or maintaining the hypocrasy, that politicking by this administration is somehow different from politicking by the last administration.

no mention that he has asked for a delay in putting forth a budget for the 3rd time. Nor that the Senate Dems have not put one forth in 1,000+ days.
