On A Scale Of 1 To 10... 1 Being A Blip... 10 Being A Tsunami... How Important Is Tonight's SOTU ???

[WillyT]

Just curious what you all think?





And for bonus points... what word or phrase will cause YOU to down a shot or a beer???

[Nye Bevan]

1. 1. Meaningless scripted theater. Not watching it (nt)

[Systematic Chaos]

4. I hate to admit it, but I agree with you.

[rhett o rick]

13. Me either, I think Judge Judy is on. nm

[sendero]

29. Obama is real good at talking.

.... but like most presidents of the last couple of decades, it's all talk.

I'm sure he will say some wonderful things I agree with 100%. I'm equally sure that nothing of substance will change anyway.

[TheWraith]

30. Pity for you that you're so catastrophically wrong. nt

[Nye Bevan]

32. I like Obama, but watching him read a speech written by someone else, from a teleprompter,

does not really appeal to me. I will read the analyses and skim the transcript.

Looking forward to the Presidential debates, however. Just thinking back to his zinger from last time around: "well, what we shouldn't do is sing songs about bombing Iran" (probably paraphrasing here).

[sharp_stick]

2. Depends how it goes

I don't see a poor performance by Obama being all that good for the pukes (~6) but a good performance by Obama makes it a 9, he can bury the bastards tonight.

I could handle getting tanked right now, but I'm witholding weekday drinking to lose a bit of weight, so I'd probably take a shot (bourbon, not beer) for every "let me be clear".

[KeepItReal]

7. Would the GOP be as buried as they were in '08 elections?

Those mofos ressurected themselves in a major way.

The media in this country will not stop propping up the GOP. That's the real problem.

[quinnox]

3. Unless Obama announces we have made contact with extra-terrestrials

I expect it will be like most SOTU addresses, a lot of sound and fury but ultimately signifying nothing.

[Samantha]

5. From the Prez' view -- all free air time in a campaign year -- priceless!

From mine personally, I will give it a 4 since Gabby Giffords will be there, perhaps for the last time.

Sam

[BlueJazz]

6. Depending on the words...3 to 9

[William769]

8. MARRIAGE EQUALITY!

I'll down a whole fucking bottle of Wild Turkey!

[pangaia]

18. Wild Turkey

Umm.. now there is someone with exquisite taste...10 year old?

[William769]

20. Thats the Kentuckian in me coming out.

[rhett o rick]

9. Too late, I already downed my quota.

[unionworks]

16. right there with you bro

...and come on. He could come on and pass gas and make the gop canidateslook like idiots. THIS IS PURE DEMOCRATIC GRAVY.

[WillyT]

19. Right There With You !!!

And my keyword is "fairness"...

According to news reports... I'm gonna get hammered.

[Skinner]

10. We will know tonight.

I think it's a good opportunity to roll out the themes for the campaign.

I'm hoping he hits income inequality hard.

[Poll_Blind]

11. Maybe a 2-3. And the magic take-a-shot word is..."together". nt

PB

[gopiscrap]

12. 6.78509

[Stinky The Clown]

14. Unanswerable until its over, it seems to me.

[unionworks]

15. It's at least a 20

And I already got my pizza and beer.

[OhioChick]

17. Just another purdy speech.... n/t

[jody]

21. Zero nt

[yawnmaster]

22. One, maybe a two. eom

[Zorra]

23. A 1 if it does not translate into constructive action, could be a 10 if it is sincere

and results in sincere efforts toward major progressive change.

[deacon]

24. 10. n/t

[krawhitham]

25. 1 Have you seen what the GOP is offering

He could say anything and get reelected

[Motown_Johnny]

26. 2, because he can repeat some of this right through the campaign

[Bucky]

27. 3.5 for importance, 5.7 for campaign, bonus drinking game starts w/Republican response

[woolldog]

28. Just started watching now.

Forgot about it completely I've been running around all day.

[Raine]

31. 0 ... totally worthless
