Talk about a sign of complete skepticism and burnout on the old "Hope and Change" hype.
I guess most voters aren't quite as stupid as I thought.

It was just another campaign speech. This asshool can't stop patting himself on the back.

I'm still waiting for the usual apologists. There are plenty of rationalizations for this.
The best one probably being, "the people who vote for Obama don't do it based on what he says or does, anyway."

Probably has more to do with two things.
First, his speech was very centrist and contained elements that both liberals and conservatives will love...and hate. Net gain or loss? Probably very little either way.
Second, and more important, almost nobody watches the damn thing in the first place.

His speech was just a recycle of last year, since the government didn't do anything this year he didn't have to change it.

An overwhelming majority of Americans approved of the overall message in President Obama's State of the Union speech on Tuesday night, according to a CBS News poll of speech watchers.
According to the poll, which was conducted online by Knowledge Networks immediately after the president's address, 91 percent of those who watched the speech approved of the proposals Mr. Obama put forth during his remarks. Only nine percent disapproved.
Even if he isn't getting a personal bump out of it, most Americans do approve of what he said.

Obama will not really gain significant ground until he is head to head with another candidate. His election also relies on the economy improving. There is a decent chance it will at this point.
albeit slowly like the entire recovery has been.

I thought the election is going to be all about jobs, and to some extent it's true, but not as much as it should have been.
It's pretty clear neither camp is going into the election cycle excited about their candidate, so it's going to come down to who the moderates tolerate more. Right now I'd say the order of precedence would be Romney > Obama > Gingrich, but there's plenty of time for things to change.

Fox has been pwning him pretty hard since the speech. Tune in for 5 minutes and I'm sure you'll see it. They have been playing it back to back for the last 24 hours or so. They just took the last 3 SOTU speeches and replayed them with the new one and almost everything he said was the exact same thing as he said before. To the letter almost.
I know it's easy to h8 on Obama but the noob is self pwning pretty hard right now. It'd be laughable if it wasn't so sad.

This seems right.
There was no meaningful reaction around the 2011, 2010 or 2009 state of the union's (2009 was a televised speech to both houses of congress, not a SOTU).

Does anyone really think that votes matter anymore? I really doubt it. I think they put on a show for the masses but in the end they choose their man and put him in office.

I really liked the topics and tone of the speech.
I don't believe he would ever agree to give up the things he talked about giving up in order to get the things he talked about getting.

he wrote a speech intended for a eighth grade reading level.
he re-used exact sentences from 2011 and 2010, specifically based upon how they tested out in focus groups at the time.
he threw out ridiculous feel good policies that sounded more like a highschool graduation speech than a SOTU "like omg, we should totally not let people drop out of highschool".

Considering the only politician I post support for on a consistent basis is Ron Paul, it would appear you have faulty information regarding my post history or Ron Paul - or both.
