The State of the Union: 2023

It was a gloomy response but they both seem to agree on one thing...we can do better. Yet, she did something odd...she talked a little too much about herself as governor of Arkansas.

I think she mentioned the first female governor of Arkansas...several times as if Arkansas is the only state in America. :D

Simply, she was laying the seed for a possible run at the White House as President of Vice President candidate.

Yeah, I got it wrong though. She focused on woke. Which it appears is the number one thing in many minds that's threatening American life.

All Sarah did was to promote culture wars and trash Biden. She offered no vision of what Republicans would offer in policies to improve America. This Axios article fairly summarizes her response very well. Let me mention that trying to tie yourself to Trump while talking about "time for a new generation of Republican leadership" seems to be nonsensical. Coupled with the problem that she does not recognize that the Republican party has a serious problem with a dividing line between "normal and crazy".

Sarah Huckabee Sanders: "Time for new generation of Republican leadership"
https://www.axios.com/2023/02/08/sarah-huckabee-sanders-gop-response-state-of-the-union

Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R-Ark.) delivered the Republican response to President Biden's State of the Union on Tuesday night, ridiculing the president's policies and leadership.

The big picture: Sanders, who served as the White House press secretary for two years during former President Trump's administration, aimed to draw a sharp generational contrast between Biden and the "new generation of Republican leadership."

Driving the news: "At 40, I’m the youngest governor in the country. At 80, he’s the oldest president in American history," Sanders said.
  • She went on to claim that Biden is "unfit to serve as commander in chief" and that his "weakness puts our nation and the world at risk."
  • "It's time for a new generation of Republican leadership," she continued, adding that the party will be the "change makers" for the American people.
  • Sanders said the dividing line in the country is no longer between right or left, but between "normal and crazy."
Zoom in: Attacking the Democratic Party's economic policies, she said, "In the radical left’s America, Washington taxes you and lights your hard-earned money on fire, but you get crushed with high gas prices, empty grocery shelves."
  • "And while you reap the consequences of their failures, the Biden administration seems more interested in woke fantasies than the hard reality Americans face every day," she continued.
  • Sanders claimed Democrats want to strip Americans’ freedom of speech and attacked the "woke fantasies" of the Biden administration, claiming "children are taught to hate one another on account of their race."
  • Sanders said that the GOP wants an America "where strong families thrive in safe communities, where jobs are abundant, and paychecks are rising."
Earlier Tuesday, President Biden focused on unity during his State of the Union address. He focused on manufacturing jobs and took credit for emerging through the pandemic.
  • Biden also promised to work with Republicans in the new Congress.
  • "I promised to be the president for all Americans. We’ll fund your projects. And I’ll see you at the groundbreaking," he said.

Sarah did a great job. Was a great press secretary and is now the youngest governor in America, a cancer survivor, and a working mother.

Your mission in life, as always is to identify people who are successful, and rip them down because they do not match your Department of Motor Vehicles clerk mentality.

Sarah's job was to respond to the state of the union message and she did that.

Joe put forward his usual dark, divisive, vitriolic view of America and republicans and Sarah did a pro-American response.

Great job Sarah.

Nah, Biden’s message was pretty aspirational and bipartisan. The media you consume is dark, divisive and vitriolic. You’re overly influenced by your tv. Stop watching cable news. You’ll be better off.

Pretty funny how Biden's section about Republicans wanting to shut off Medicare and Soc Sec backfired on him and the nation saw that Republicans have never had any intention of cutting those programs. ---Really bad for Ol' Joe

I expect a bump in the polls for Ol’ Joe. The speech was pretty good and it reached well beyond the dem base.

He's not the only Republican. Many of them signed onto what he wanted (plans to do). I think that's what Biden was referring to without going into any specific details other than to say it will not occur on his watch.

Yet, that's old news which is why I'm a little shocked that guy acted as if he didn't know what the fuck Biden was talking about... the same with some of the ET members here.

Those programs remind them of socialism...they want to pull it up by the roots...get rid of it.
