DAMM! First five minutes and the stooooopid sonofabitch is doubling down with his foolishness!

Still making partisan "progressive" campaign speeches - now adding populist foolishness and making excuses.

Great for Republican election chances but bad for the country.

is it me, or does Joe Biden seem like he has 5 or 6 too many drinks before walking out there.

Slightly surprised that the Republicans are sitting down but amazed that many of the Dems are sitting on their hands, too!

I hate the forced standing ovations by the president's party. Hated it when the Republicans stood for Bush, hate it now when Democrats stand for Obama.

Convention speeches, Inauguration speeches, SOTUs, I never watch them anymore, Conk or Donk. Haven't in years. All they are is generalities, platitudes, fluff, hot air, etc. I want specifics and details. And you won't get it from these staged dog and pony shows, so why watch? Its a waste of time. Save yourself some time and just read about the highlights later.

Everybody's cheering for the elimination of capital gains taxes on small businesses.

STILL blaming the previous regime for the next 10 years of multi-trillion dollar deficits.

WAFJ.

He should be embarrassed. As commander in chief he's violating IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE WORLD the #1 rule: Assume the watch, assume the problems.

Agree 100%. I'm just posting happily on cs.com and ignoring The Great One's prefabricated shit.

Right on cue.

Mea Culpa, touchy. I didn't see one so I started one.

I didn't know small business paid capital gains taxes. Do they for real?

Hey, Z, is our saucy First Lady wearing something...fetching?

Surprisingly enough they haven't shown her in the last 15 minutes (that's all I've watched).

I have NEVER heard a president speak who SO hates business in America.

It is truly frightening to listen to this guy speak.

WTF? Eliminating capital gains taxes for small businesses means he hates them?

We'll see what Barry Sortero means by "small." Probably GATW's lemonade stand.

Christ, is it over yet? Pelosi is snoring and her PoliGrip has worn off.

Hopefully, but I do already make a killing as it is.

That was one hell of a long winded marathon with some nuggets but lots of meaningless rah-rah. Did you see Harry Reid yawning in the first ten minutes?

As many as required by free speech on THE free speech blog site.

If they sell capital assets then yes, they pay capital gains tax just like the rest of us.

Also, so many small businesses in the US are LLC's now, which are disregarded for Federal Income tax purposes. So their owners pay personal income tax on the business earnings, which does include capital gains tax.

Real small business tax reform needs to come in the form of personal income tax reform and it needs to start on the state level in a lot of states.
