Incentives = More government spending/Taxes.

The right thing to do is let the market (and people) decide what they want.

I'm just starting this, thank you TiVo... and my first thought is... couldn't he have double-shaved? For an event like this? Or, is he planning on growing a mustache... starting just before the State of The Union.

or... fuck, I hate HD ;)

You realize that none of what he or any other President says matters, right? Nothing happens until Congress butchers- er legislates. When that happens the best of intentions goes to hell. That's not Obama's fault, but it's true.

So that means if Obama proposes ending those tax breaks the GOP in congress will oppose? Why?

More farm subsidies

Has anyone hear him say anything about actually cutting spending and not just more spending?

"over whelming scientific evidence" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know - the groans were VERY noticeable. You would think he woulda avoided that shit with ClimateGate. Then again, he talks about off-shore/nuclear, which is gonna really piss off the enviro's.

The President of the United States, brings out the Children Defense.

Won't anyone, think of the Children?

Next it'll probably be the Chewbacca Defense.

Holy hell... Did Obama just tell Congress that he wants to drill? Wow.
someone needs to do an Obama/McCain comparison. heh.

taxing health care benefits?
continuing the Bush bailouts?
drill baby drill?
expanding the war?
healthcare package that does nothing but give insurance companies more money?
