Moose Mess complains about President Obama's State of the Union Speech

Question of the Day

What did you think about the State of the Union Address?

Ladies and Gentlemen... Michele Bachmann

READ President Obama's State of the Union Address

It’s no secret that those of us here tonight have had our differences over the last two years. The debates have been contentious; we have fought fiercely for our beliefs. And that’s a good thing. That’s what a robust democracy demands. That’s what helps set us apart as a nation.


But there’s a reason the tragedy in Tucson gave us pause. Amid all the noise and passions and rancor of our public debate, Tucson reminded us that no matter who we are or where we come from, each of us is a part of something greater – something more consequential than party or political preference.


We are part of the American family. We believe that in a country where every race and faith and point of view can be found, we are still bound together as one people; that we share common hopes and a common creed; that the dreams of a little girl in Tucson are not so different than those of our own children, and that they all deserve the chance to be fulfilled.

Daniel Hernandez Jr. will be at the State of Union Address

Super Hero, Daniel Hernandez Jr. will be at the State of the Union address, sitting right next to Lady Michelle.

Daniel Hernandez Jr., one of the heroes of the mass shooting in Tucson, Ariz., two weeks ago, tells ABC News that he will be sitting, along with his father, Daniel Hernandez Sr., with Michelle Obama at the State of the Union on Tuesday, which happens to be his 21st birthday.


"I'm both honored and excited to have the opportunity to travel to our nation's Capitol for a once in a lifetime event. Also the chance to bring my father along for his first trip to Washington, D.C. The State of the Union is a pivotal moment because it is our opportunity to find where we are and where we will be going as a nation in this upcoming year," Hernandez said.

And it's his birthday? Do it, Daniel! This is your life!

Interesting Quote: Dan Savage

"President Obama should address gay rights in his State of the Union speech this week, and he should tackle the biggest, most meaningful right of them all: the right to marry. Gay Americans are eventually going to win on marriage just like we won on military service, the president should tell Congress, so why not save everyone on both sides of the debate a lot of time, trouble and money by approving the entire gay rights agenda?"

Okay, I do believe he should address it, but right now, folks want to hear about jobs and the economy. Plus, with Health Reform is being attacked, President Obama needs to sell Health Care again and remind the public about the great deal they have in this reform.

And to be real, I rather hear about ENDA. I mean, I want to get married; but I want to know I have a job to pay for my LV themed wedding and the approved vacation days to go to Hawaii for the honeymoon. I really think if we push anything, ENDA should be first.

Also, President Obama should remind the public about DADT. If anything, he needs to talk about the success of repealing DADT and how there is more to come for equality. He could plant the seeds and set us up for the cute garden in the summer... Okay, that was a weird analogy, but I think you get what I'm saying.
