Obama's State of the Union vs. the GOP's Rebuttal (Mitch Daniels)

After watching President Obama's State of the Union Address and hearing Republican Mitch Daniels' rebuttal, I have to say, I think the Republicans better think of a different strategy if they want to capture the White House in November's election.

President Obama, for the most part, was illustrating that there's reason for hope and optimism in this country. All things considering, it was a rather positive speech, which I have to believe is how he will campaign in the run-up to the election. Daniels, meanwhile, painted a picture of doom and gloom for this country. It was a "Vote-for-us-or-face-Armageddon" type of picture.

Let's see here...which strategy, which outlook will be more attractive to voters? One of hope and optimism or one of doom and gloom? If Republicans continue with this negative strategy, Obama and the Democrats will likely be sitting pretty come November.

Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

Trump's Lie Tally at the CNN Debate

1) "We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We had never done so well. Every – everybody was amazed by it. Other countries were copying us." 2) "But the thing we never got the credit for, and we should have, is getting us out of that COVID mess." 3) "The only jobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounceback jobs; they’re bounced back from the COVID." 4) "Not going to drive them higher. It’s just going to cause countries that have been ripping us off for years, like China and many others, in all fairness to China – it’s going to just force them to pay us a lot of money, reduce our deficit tremendously, and give us a lot of power for other things." (tariffs) 5) "He also said he inherited 9 percent inflation." 6) "No, he inherited almost no inflation and it stayed that way for 14 months. And then it blew up under his leadership, because they spent money like a bunch of people that didn’t know what t...
