Instant Poll: 90% of Republicans Who Did Not See Obama's Speech Disagree With It

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) - President Barack Obama's State of the Union address has already gotten a big thumbs-down from one key group of voters: Republicans who did not see the speech.

According to an instant poll conducted by the University of Minnesota's Opinion Research Institute, 90 percent of Republicans who did not see the President's speech strongly disagreed with it.

Additionally, 95 percent of Republicans polled agreed with the statement, "If I had seen the President's speech, I'll bet I would have hated it even more."

Davis Logsdon, who supervised the poll, said there were certain difficulties in polling Republican voters: "Many of them would not let us finish asking the question before answering 'No.'"

Brian, most Democrats have even figured out that whenever Obama's reading his teleprompter he's lying.

You're lagging behind the curve, buddy! Try and catch up.

      WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama told Americans the bipartisan deficit commission he will appoint won't just be "one of those Washington gimmicks." Left unspoken in that assurance was the fact that the commission won't have any teeth.Obama confronted some tough realities in his State of the Union speech Wednesday night, chief among them that Americans are continuing to lose their health insurance as Congress struggles to pass an overhaul.Yet some of his ideas for moving ahead skirted the complex political circumstances standing in his way.A look at some of Obama's claims and how they compare with the facts:

    This whole fact-checking thing started with a couple non-partisan organizations and has now blossomed into every news organization and blogger publishing opinion columns and labeling them as "fact-check".

    Forget the fact checks, so far as Obama's concerned. We've already moved far beyond that:


    quote:


     Reality check: President Obama gropes for a strategy

    President Barack Obama on Wednesday night tacked to the right with appeals for tax cuts for small business and new investments in off-shore oil drilling and nuclear power. He tacked to the left with renewed vows to let gays serve in the military and to get U.S. troops out of Iraq.


    He sounded at times like a Bill Clinton-style centrist, at others like a bank-bashing populist. He taunted Republicans, and also presented himself as a lonely tribune of cooperation and bipartisan civility in Washington.


    In a favorable light, his State of the Union speech may have revealed the mind of a leader who has never cared much about traditional ideological categories and is determined to create his own results-oriented composite of ideas from across the spectrum.


    Less charitably, the address could be interpreted as the work of a president who is desperately improvising by touching every political erogenous zone he and his advisers can think of.


    Under either judgment, however, it was inescapable that his 69-minute speech — for all the rush of words and policy ideas — was a document of downsized ambitions for a downsized moment in his presidency.

    Since 65% of FNC viewers are either liberal or independent, the "what they want to hear" line is bullshit.


    WIth statements like this why anyone would ever believe a single word that comes out of your piehole is beyond me.

    Just another conservative that places  more weight on trying to prove a point than being accurate or honest.

    Liar.

    Forget the 8 trillion they borrowed for the war, blame that on Clinton, because they inherited 9/11nfrom him

    Forget the "we will only be there for 6 months" or "our troops have everything they need"

    Forget that in 2000 Bush promised health insurance reform for millons of Americans with out insurance

    Yup when it comes to lying the GOP is the best

    And this is what democrats do when they're faced with any kind of opposition lately:  They blame Bush.  Typical.

    But let's assume you're right about all of those points, okay?  Let's assume for a second.  Does this mean that every president after Bush (who was NOT a real republican  by any means) should be a liar?  They should be less than their best?  That they should waiver on mediocrity or craptasticness?  Seriously?

    There was bullshit, there were half-truths, and outright lies.  There were elephants in the room he never mentioned (Gitmo).  Such is the nature of the SOTU.

    I thought he did an excellent job with it.
