so does the president have spoken work let's analyze a little bit here
with their all-star panel microsurgery during this period and
I say the the first eighty percent of the speech was really strong stronger
than I expected
he came out guns blazing like the Syrian I thought he was going to be a little
apologetic about it right but he was it is like no no for these reasons XYZ
silliness strong as it's always been and let me tell you the good things that
we've done we've got more energy
production without this we've got that we've got the Los unemployment last five
years in
and health care is helping people et cetera but OK terms 0
what it has proposed well
you know in the head you still have the same things which is
you know a little increase in minimum wage for a limited number people
as federal harsher in New car tires
hires under federal contractors as a very specific group right right that
subset right now is
0 people right but now he had some good lines about
how we need to give America a raise so you talk about minimum wage to you talk
about
immigration reform but these are all things that he's we try to do for a long
time
we know on his agenda so in the end I thought it was a really good speech
but not a lot of action items yet which just about sums up
President Obama there was a lot of very flowery language
and i actually didn't like the fact the him outside the state of our union is
strong because Americans are feeling what the state in the Union really is
and it's not that strong
and I mean he touched a lot of things that he made it seem like 00 everything
is much better than it really is
for instance the housing market I know that it was a very very brief part of
the speech
but the reason why the housing market is so great is because banks
*** everything up and now they're going back and they're buying out all
these homes and they're using it as rental property so we're not seeing more
middle-class people buying these homes are you really that big banks
start-up as well not just that mean that that a huge chunk a mere
good housing starts being up is always with the housing market based on housing
starts being up
first time in a long time housings I know but again middle-class
but of homeowners that's not increasing significantly it's really the big banks
buying and renting it out
and also the banks are manipulating the market big-time because they're holding
onto foreclosed homes making it seem as though there's a lack of inventory
so that makes that the price is the homes go up
up so that's a bit of an issue in any talks about education he talks about
student loan debt
I mean what are you really gonna do for student loan debt right you guys allowed
the
interest rate on federal loans to increase at the same time whenever the
banks or whenever a corporation specifically
borrow money from the federal government the interest rate is much lower I think
it's about 2.75 percent
so many students are spending or paying six percent for their federal also
but these are specifics in everything I just feel like there was a lot of really
strong language flowery language
but the reality of our state in the Union is that it's not as great as
making it out to be
yet in he starred about how we week you know
the country's not standing still in and we will not say so so there's a lot of
moments
it whenever you have a good to a person's great a big speeches
a you have a lot more was well you like it was it won't happen. yeah
and then at the end it's kinda like a sugar high Uruguay what we doing this
year we're going to try to increase the minimum wage a little bit
new immigration reform which we've been trying for all this time he said close
Guantanamo
yeah I hope that's the case this year due to their thing is so terrible thing
to say listen i mean I think his
ability to make speeches is overrated I don't think he makes great speeches
i think is a good campaigner I don't think he's that great a speech maker
when you look at
it you know it look in the pantheon above Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton
and others I don't think he's that great a speech maker I think what he's
has been able to do is connect with new people
in a way that the other prisons other candidates have
I think his last two speeches this included I think this is and
excellent state in the Union speech it's been really hard to give a good state in
the Union speech
it's so full up laundry list that you have to
to make things stand out is really difficult technically and and
emotionally this speech and the speech he gave about assault on women in the
military
I think we're to unbelievably with those were more remarks in a speech but it was
a speech
really he's kind of on a roll here and I think this is what you know you see is
down in the polls you see he's down
within his own party and I think this is sorted his way I started to communicate
again and get better I think that it cannot be underscored
what kinda miss peters was real problem I what what I had written down
what was that holds the although Obama so the guy comes out makes a great
speech he makes a flowery speech to get it gets me just like the whole idea
let's do and then of course when you think about it out single chip
and other stuff is going to be implemented right so but that's not you
put that on Obama you know I
it's different when you judge a candidate then when you judge
a president giving the state the unit because you know the things that Anna's
talking about the things you're mentioning things we've talked about in
such frustrating ways
those with the fall to the US congress a lot of the time those aren't that
not Obama's fault that $75 billion in pre and pre-kindergarten funding wasn't
put into place this year
it's the fault of the congress so up somewhere between you guys
his I agree with Michael yes congress hasn't passed those things he wanted to
close Guantanamo the first year
and now we're gonna be in the years 6 is nm
still not quite close I mean so we're past year by
still no but he's trying any came back to get he didn't write for a long time
he's now try again so I am so amazing another hint
the other way that you can go to Jimmys point is so the Republicans are blocking
you
so you fight harder so you take this opportunity like this is a bully pulpit
as you mention those speech Michael
as we're doing a play by play right there's a bully pulpit you come in you
say
hey listen here's how you block me XYZ
for example you broke the record on filibusters I'll call you up
you bro you right sitting right here you broke the record
on filibusters you were being obstructionist a you know what the
american people even know
who is that ball but a few america's the arrays
the guys blockade is uuuu in this guy the green to hide
refuses can talk about it later in a bit Inouye
he did that a little bit I said I'm to use my veto pen
if you don't if you don't do this or on Iran I am going to use executive orders
now as I did this morning on
on mineral minimum wage it you can't discount the minimum wage that doesn't
affect that many people
it is a symbolic show up the president's
ability to do that he saying I need to do it but you know when to stop the
symbolic shows
when you actually present well respected by the wayside Dr there is precedent
to using these executive orders to and and listen that he
if he runs roughshod over these people with with executive orders
that's gonna damage his brand the party's brand its gonna dance was
worried about but his bro
know it's gonna be dictatorial I mean I i in a way I ll
but he will do all we want is way way way I double what i'm saying is the
behavior I'm not saying that he will be the behavior
is dictatorial if you use it on every single issue good-looking was saying
earlier I think
is what I was trying to say it's like why don't you lay out for the people
because the people
aren't smart enough to know what's happening day today they have lives job
to kids
so why doesn't he lay out say hey by the way I was trying to close Guantanamo
and republicans keep putting everything in every budget bill
that says i cant yeah they're saying I can't but he never said that
people why is it a bug in close White yes but you may want to call to buy you
want to but we close it
and he never says why that's exactly what Jen same anything what the point to
make the cut he is the guys dating about
unprecedented amount of filibusters why is aware why is that
got Washington in gridlock because they
oppose everything that even the wrong ideas and listening I
its fantasyland I'm with you in advance here but it's very well this is the
right decision
because that's not the way unfortunately
or you know fortunately sometimes that that the
American government is practiced right now
and and I you know I'm not sayin apologetic way
it just isn't a president is gonna go up and in and call out Mitch McConnell but
my hand is so
okay but that's nice XIII with you but it's not gonna have a lot of no return
the speech I don't think you're gonna see her so i mean i i totally green
and and party this year going so he's absolutely right on the facts I mean
that's not how they do the State of the Union generally speaking
so presses are far more aggressive than others are able course bushel ceased
you're either with us or against us he means that was other nations were
sometimes
it meant that was democrats itself right and washington pundits would
hate this speech that Jimmy and I just how wide a wooden display say all
bonobos
so impolite but I can't believe me this was not a moment
there where you're supposed to play partisan politics which is nonsense
of course the what they say are part of this way did play a part in politics
no i i kno any did but in the example drinkers and parameters and the
washington media
prize except yeah so the lead by example because it's precedent
I mean that's the way it's I know you know it hold more excited for the
washington media
was this sort of monolith you know that the media covered the speeches or
I'm with you the park so I agree on the facts the part i slightly disagree on is
that
I would be willing to break their president given the number process the
republicans a broken right
so I said I would have respected your president yes if you to respect the
president's on filibuster right
a judicial nominees which you know we showed today on the show
I think this term it's going to be a project to be a 45
bit before clinton the most it has ever been for judicial nominees at that level
was
to to for a given a yes two-for-one other president and that
it now it's gonna be 40 by you who wrote the precedence
is another I couldn't get along with you it's a you
refused to get along with me and the thing is like what you write
he kept going in that direction any did as much as he could
within the parameters love this accepted wave
acting in washington right I would have gone past okay
so now in the end what I have to say is
look it was a good speech I'd only ever if you look at this and say it was a bad
speech or poor speech arrived hours we journey along those lines
bite in the end there's not much me
on those bones made you're not walking away for a kid
all mike got this is going to be an exciting year
well we're really gonna take up like 20
