it comes with the territory dude, at least he's got the media strokin his dik. the media & dem. vitriol aimed at the last dude was much worse...
i'm pretty sure obama can handle people crackin wise, its what we do.
i wont even bother to bring up obamas role in going all class warfare & dividing this nation to forward his agenda...he's played a pretty harmful hand that didn't need to be played & we will see the effects for some time to come.

Gee, I wonder why?

Could it have been the massive tax cuts which killed a surplus? Oh, the multiple wars with no planning? The Fake WMD theories?

Oh, and let's not forget all Republicans now telling us how they really didn't like Bush anyway due to his MASSIVE GOVERNMENT SPENDING and EXPANDING.

But you're right....it is clear that anyone not giving Obama the same criticism as Bush is clearly bias

you mean those wars that were congressionally approved by a majority of democrats, by a wide margin. why did bush win a 2nd term over frankenstein in 2004, because the majority of the country felt safer with the tough decisions they knew bush could make...& then they could bitch about it, but thats the way we are. its like the saudis & the rest of the middle east right now who are begging us to take out iran before they have the bomb, but have to play the american devil card on the surface to satisfy their base, just politics....same as the dems wanting the war, hillary etc all of them...but they also wanted the right to be against it at the next election when we all got sick of it & thats ok, as prez, its bushes legacy, history doesnt care about congressional approval, its the prez. in the history books, good or bad.

Liked the high tech manufacturing message. Liked the 102 year old voter. Didn't like the Gun control message.

ya the potus gets a pass on the rhetoric & bs that makes up the state of the union.

facts are played fast & loose, that just the way it is...

The president claimed that "both parties have worked together to reduce the deficit by more than $2.5 trillion." But that's only an estimate of deficit reduction through fiscal year 2022, and it would be lower if the White House used a different starting point.
Obama touted the growth of 500,000 manufacturing jobs over the past three years, but there has been a net loss of 600,000 manufacturing jobs since he took office. The recent growth also has stalled since July 2012.
He claimed that "we have doubled the distance our cars will go on a gallon of gas." Actual mileage is improving, but Obama's "doubled" claim refers to a desired miles-per-gallon average for model year 2025.
Obama said the Affordable Care Act "is helping to slow the growth of health care costs." It may be helping, but the slower growth for health care spending began in 2009, before the law was enacted, and is due at least partly to the down economy.
