Thoughts on Obama's speech:

This was his best speech to date and this is coming from someone who has seen all his speeches.
He felt very comfortable and confidant. It was amazing to see some liveliness from the president.
Pelosi should have stood up and clap the whole night. No wonder she's house speaker, she knows how to be a cheerleader. Did she really need to cheer lead the whole god damn night though? I was feeling Biden's pain.
What was John Boner doing there? He looked like he had something stuck up his ass and the look on his face was awful.
I am very pleased to hear Obama is going to pursue universal health care.
It was kinda corny but liked the line "dropping out of high school [is] not just quitting on yourself, it's quitting on your country."
What about taxes for single people god damn it?!!! Is the cutoff line 250K for me?
Talk is cheap, show me the money and the budget...recovery.gov is garbage. I make better tracking system every time I take a piss.

Thoughts on Jindal's response:

It's not fair to compare him to Obama.
He tried way-way too hard. His Meet the Press performance was much better.
This is a big boy's league. There are limited roster spots -- friends and foes are trying to land a roster spot. You got to bring your A-game. When you intend to run for high office the line between friends and foes is murky.
The substance of his entire speech was bullsh*t much like the substance of his Meet the Press appearance. Complaining about funding for volcano detection system is unf*cking inexcusable, especially from a Louisiana official. Might as well have said why spend money shoring up the levies in NO. What I don't understand is whether they do some thinking at all.
I didn't think his intended audience was as wide as Obama's. Singing to the base won't cut it anymore. You're in a ditch and you're digging for like minded subscribers? I don't get it.
Government is bad, government is bad, government is bad. Uufffff.
Congratulation to the nation of India. Slumdog Millionaire was a fantastic movie.
