Netflicks sent us the new Three Stooges movie. The wife and I watched it instead. It was good, clean, family fun. I was still smiling when I went to bed.

Obama kept saying that gun victims "deserve a vote" on gun control. Unfortunately, in his opinion, they don't deserve the right to protect themselves....

By "gun victims" he means "dead people" and we all know that Democrats think “dead people” should vote. But only if it’s a vote for them.

I turned it off about half way through. I couldn't take any more of his bull. I did turn it back on to listen to Marco Rubio which I thought was pretty good. I like him.

As previously stated, he got nothing I want to hear.

:iagree: The only way one can listen at all to this piece of work is to remember to turn everything he says 180*. As I am trying to keep my blood pressure down a bit I did not listen. I did listen to Rand Paul and Marco Rubio, they did great, the water break not withstanding.

I was sent out of the room for literally screaming at the TV. So, I got myself a beverage and went and watched Sportcenter. Did watch Rubio. Great message, shaky presentation... :patriot:

My wife and I watched the speech in 30-45 second segments. We had to watch it this way because we have a rule in our house that if you are going to yell at the TV, you must pause it first so the other person doesn't miss what is said while your yelling at the TV.

I get "the look" from Mrs. Anygunanywhere so I choose to not watch this crap. Safer for me.

I've recently read about "heart attack", well ok myocardial infarct inducement causality and stayed well away from the speech, then again, I'm not swayed by any speech, be it socialist or conservative...

From the site it was on.
I participated thru the whole thing, hitting "Strongly Disagree" or whatever it was as often as possible thru the entire speech as I knew everything he said about anything would be lies. Looks like I was correct in my assumption.

Really makes you wonder how he won the vote? Or, as others have suggested....."Did he"?

Even the Dems never got to positive on anything he said.

At the end, I took that screenshot of the final graph to post here.
