I know why Scalia skipped - all this talk of equality would've made his heart pop.. and he doesn't want Obama naming his replacement.

YES
 
He didn't say it was shutting down, by the way:

Since I've been President, we've worked responsibly to cut the population of GTMO in half. Now it's time to finish the job. And I will not relent in my determination to shut it down. It's not who we are.

He's continuing to work towards shutting it down. A good goal, but no end-date in sight.
 
A better politics is one where we debate without demonizing each other; where we talk issues, and values, and principles, and facts, rather than “gotcha” moments, or trivial gaffes, or fake controversies that have nothing to do with people’s daily lives.

God.

Damn.
 
C'mon GAF. This is a typical SOTU, and there are people in here acting like it's truly and importantly the biggest thing they've seen come from the White House in months.

Yes but its showing where we are going. Maybe not under him. Maybe not under the next president, but this is our future.

If you've been reading the news, all of this has been discussed for weeks. There's nothing remarkably new.

Edit - there's the transcript of the speech, for anyone who missed it.


Who the fuck are these imaginary people you are railing at?
