Who will be watching the so-called president on TV tonight for his latest round of promises and lies?

Not me.

I will be watching and I don't think he "lies" - sm

Convenient for the bashers when their own Republican party screws up every idea the president has ever put forth, and when things don't turn out as the platform outlined (not promised or guaranteed/thus not lied), then they accuse the President of lying. Absolutely ridiculous, another talking head, Right Wing buzzword.

Yes, I have every intention of watching, and it sounds like it could be a good one too.

Did you hear the Pope will be addressing Congress in September? I think that should prove to be very entertaining/embarrassing for the Republicans also.

I would think it might be more embarrassing for Catholics. - nm

I am Catholic and why would I need to be embarrassed?

I don't follow him that closely, but isn't he (sm) - me

sounding a lot like a Socialist? Taking from the rich to give to the poor type thing? And changing stance on gay marriage? I don't think a lot of Catholics are very happy about all that.

The rich need to be taken down a few notches. - Wait a minute. A LOT of notches.

Many think the Pope has become too liberal - to represent the Republican

[ In Reply To ..]
Catholics. Many instances:

Gay marriage
Poverty
War
Respect for other religions

This does not mean this fits your thoughts, it is just the main stream division points.

I don't even want to begin to argue over Catholicism and whether or not a conservative can be Catholic with this Pope, but there has been a lot of push back with this Pope and his liberalism.

I have seen a lot of liberal thinking that he is the most Christian Pope ever.

no fight here. - nana7

[ In Reply To ..]
I am a Catholic with a gay son. So that tells you where I fit in.

I do believe this Pope is one of the most open minded Pope's we have ever had. For a Pope to take a stance other than normal on gay marriage speaks volumes where I am concerned. He believes in change and is leading the way to make that change happen. At least it is open for discussion with him.

Kudos to you Nana7 - nm

I hope this Pope can open some eyes and minds.

Here is an example (sm) - nm

[ In Reply To ..]
Catholics do not need to "breed like rabbits." Hard to believe the Pope said that, but he does have some very socialist ideas. I am no longer a Catholic. I now consider myself Methodist for the last say 30 years, but I liked this Pope right away. He will forge ahead with some change. Not all change is a bad thing.

There's part of our problem. Government should - NOT be paying attention to the Pope.

Can't blame that on Republicans.

Can't blame that on the President either - sm

Oh, excuse me? That lie did not come out of his own mouth? - was there a ventriloquist involved?

If ACA had been passed the way it was - intended, there would be no issue

[ In Reply To ..]
regarding "lying." The insurance companies have hijacked as many portions as they can, and they are backed by the Republicans they have purchased.

Call your insurance company about keeping your doctor. Or maybe just your money-hungry doctor and whether he wishes to participate in the plans available.

Our doctor joined a concierge network to guarantee his network. Membership fees will guarantee his income, not patient care.

and why wasn't it passed "as intended?" Please explain. - Excuses, excuses. (sm)

[ In Reply To ..]
It was passed EXACTLY as intended.

Um, I think the Republican Obstructionist Party - had a wee bit to do with that.

Listening to Obama is a waste of my time.

So sad not willing to listen to original source - but rather their favorite pundit

[ In Reply To ..]
I'm sure those channels will be tuned in to Fox afterwards to get the "low down"---emphasis on low.

Why not listen to the original source and form opinions. I defy a person to not think that healthcare for more Americans, lower unemployment, lower gas prices, less servicemen in harm's way and the possibilities of college education for everyone and tax cuts for our income level to be good.

I understand they all have attachments, but it is not as bad as your pundits have convinced you.

And, once again, it does not constitute a lie if the people (Congress) that you expect to support logical polices does not come through (i.e. they get bought off by the corporations such as gas and oil and insurance).

That's silly. I'm not watching, but "my favorite pundit" (sm) - LM

[ In Reply To ..]
will play parts of the speech over and over again, ad nauseam. I am capable of forming my own thoughts, so no, he doesn't tell me what to think. Besides, if I watch that man for more than 5 minutes, I become nauseated.

You've got to be kidding. (sm) - msg

[ In Reply To ..]
You "defy" anyone? OMG. Ok.
1. More Americans do not have healthcare. They have health insurance, but many doctors do not accept Medicaid.
2. Unemployment is not lower. There are more PT workers and many have given up looking for work or didn't want it in the first place.
3. President has nothing to do with lower gas prices.
4. The "children" who get out of college now can't find jobs in this crappy economy. And we taxpayers are supposed to WANT to pay more for "free" education for college? Come on, think about this. Is he offering help for trade schools? What's so good about a college education if you can't find a job.
5. Last but not least, the tax "cuts" as you call them will not help the middle class. Even the lower income people will end up paying more. More for earned income credit for illegals not working, for one.

I can listen to the president, - NPC

[ In Reply To ..]
listen to your pundits on your stations, listen to whatever sound bytes they want to play and still come up with my own opinion that BO is a liar and a socialist. Does that help you understand the way most* people feel about this man? It doesn't matter how you spin it. You can't put lipstick on a pig.

* most based on polling data and those with "buyer's remorse"

I expect some trolling backlash to this post, but I will not be responding. Have a nice day and enjoy your evening listening to your president.

You expect some "trolling backlash" to your post? - seriously?

[ In Reply To ..]
I guess "trolling backlash" = disagreement or a view that doesn't coincide with yours. It smacks of a deep-seated immaturity for you to post something and then refuse to discuss it further. Why even bother to post in the first place?

Why...? You just proved why. - Have a nice day.

[ In Reply To ..]
How can one have a discussion with someone when they're accused of having "deep-seated immaturity." You people always resort to name calling. You just can't help yourselves. It's pitiful. This is why we would like to have our own board, to have "mature" discussions without posters being called names. Call public figures names, yes, but not each other. I won't report you, but I should.
