Obama backers to gather in Dayton for State of the Union speech

Volunteers with Organizing for America, the grassroots organization backing President Barack Obama’s agenda, will gather at Montgomery County Democratic headquarters in Dayton on Tuesday to hear Obama’s State of the Union speech.

The “Watch Party” is open to the public, said Mark Owens, Montgomery County Democratic chairman.

The speech is at 9 p.m. and the party headquarters is downtown at 131 S. Wilkinson St.

The gathering is one of several planned for across Ohio and the country, a press release said.

Socialists will tell you that you are unpatriotic if you question the President’s intentions. Hmmm. That sounds more like Socialism than a Republic. I wonder why Dumbo kept calling us a Democracy instead of a Republic. Perhaps he thinks he’s already switched our country fully to the Socialist position? I believe it is around 18% of our citizens that believe in socialism and the majority of us believe we should stay a Republic. So…were all of the liberals there with their SAVE EDUCATION signs (because, of course, who would notice if the Department of Education was abolished to save tax money) or the UNIONs (communists) who are trying to use our tax money to bail out their (misspent) pension funds, teachers unions, socialists, communists organizations all were represented well? The truth is, we don’t need the trains, we don’t need to pump more money into education (we need to get rid of the unions). We don’t need to pump more money into the green initiative. My gosh, Obama’s agenda hasn’t changed at all!

These post are sad. Whether you agree with our President or not, he deserves our respect because of his position. I did not agree with many things Bush did; however, I prayed for him and respected him in Most of these comments sound very immature and uninformed. Many of the comments are general or blanket about democrats, which is totally ignorant no matter what party you support.

Karen Nixon…Brilliant post. Your mastery of the English language is impressive. Next time have your Mommy or another grown up to look over your comment before pushing post.

dhampton…Patriotism is hardly defined by being in unquestioned lockstep with your fearless leader. Its interesting how you paint anyone who you deem as in disagreement with you with a broad brush. If you recall, a few years ago under the Bush Adm, Hilary said (or should I say , screamed) that it is patriotic to disagree with government. What has happened to change that outlook? I am continually amazed how the left’s outlook on things changes based on circumstances, and I even more amazed at the left’s inability to recognize and acknowledge their ingrained, institutional hypocrisy. Nothing of substance will occur tonight. More words, veiled accusations and scare tactics, but no responsibility for our current situation. If these comments are not worth responding to, then why did you?

It is so transparent that the same person or the same two people wrote all of these comments that they are not worth responding to them. What is sad is that if Mr. Obama fails America looses. What American wants their own country to suffer failure? This is a weird way to express your patriotism.

The “Watch Party” for what? To see if your party will be able to allow the United Nations to judge that which is not theirs to judge? Our gun rights are in the constitution which above anything the United Nations can do. Does your watch party want to allow the Islamists to have their Islamic law within the United States border? I won’t stand for it! These Islamists cause all of this trouble in France and other countries and we allow that foolishness here? I should say NOT! Does your Watch Party include some of the remaining Acorn staff? Are the Acorners busy trying to fake something in Chicago for Rahm Emanuel? I know all about your Watch Party and will not accept it for the wrong it will do for America!

I find the whole Obama picture to be a discomfort. A healthcare bill that threatens to progresssively tax us and control the care we may or may not receive. What kind of people are the Obama people? People who believe the govt. should tell us, the people, how we will live! I support the conservative/Republicans because I know they won’t try to create excessive government- Are you listening, Mr. Speaker?

what liberals fail to understand here is that respect is earned not given. this man has done absolutely nothing to earn mine or most other WORKING americans support. the message most sane voters sent in the 10 election is clear…NO MORE MARXISM. the immediate thought here if, god forbid, i watched this train wreck is thats an hour of my life gone forever with no reward.

“Geez people, don’t care for this Reichtfurher? Do you hope he fails? Like it or not, he is our Reichtfurher, and needs our support.” Peg sounds like she keeps going back to her abusive husband who beats her….and can’t figure out why she needs facial reconstructive surgery when “everything was all right”. Her support of Obama causes ugly. The left has always embraced ol’ Sigmund “Frood”. (the real anal Marxists/liberal/progressive believers call him “Froyd”). I believe that people who need to be taken care of are the ones who embrace the Charley Manson’s…the Rev. Jim Jones…the Democrat Party, and can find no problem with being involved with evil if they’re comfortable while evil is being committed. The Democrat party is like God to them…God gave us all free will to make decisions. The Democrat Party gives you free will, and the option to look away while evil is committed….and another free pass to not be implicated in the evil. All evil done now will come to pass and it doesn’t look good for any of us. Religion aside…we’ve already started killing one another. Embrace the horror caused by the Democrat/Marxist controlled downfall of this Republic. Been in combat? 1861 to 1865 is nothing compared to what we have planned for one another. Embrace the horror.

Kevin S. shows the low level of support he has for our White House interloper since being originally “tingly” about the community organizer and 193 day Senator (who was rarely there during the 193 days of senatorial duty. Hell of a resume’!) He now uses percentages in explaining why Barry Motors allows GM to build in Mexico…sounding like the capitalist evil rich who he despises. (Kevin…one of Barry’s czars could stop the construction with a phone call, and have it relocated into the U.S. in a day or two). He then talks about “words” (saviour/Messiah)…very important today to the Marxist/liberal/progressives who now want to limit what is said, especially if it reveals truth about the lies they live/promote/state as fact. Then he abandons his own support of his God Obama by stating that the liberal blogosphere regards Barry as anything but a savior. Kevin S. is not an individual. He hides in the collective, whatever the collective (“group”) decides, must be the conclusion and must be true. Hey kevin S…..what’s it like to be a myrmydon?

“only” 35%. Is that all?? Whew. And that excludes the first $20 Billion that was flushed down the toliet when they filed bankruptcy in June of ‘09. Peg, it would be best for the country if he failed to transform America into his (and his appointed ideological brethren) gov’t run everything/do everything/regulate everything/control mentality that he so staunchly embraces.

Well I hope the Democratic daily news reports how many people show up. If it a small crowd do not bet on it.

Gobblygook (why does that name seem appropriate): You do realize that the government now only owns about 35% of GM? And that words like “savior” and “Messiah” aren’t things liberals say about Obama, but things conservatives claim liberals say about him. In fact, much of the liberal blogosphere regards Obama as anything but a savior.

Ahhh…the party apparachicks are gathering to hear the soothing golden throated warbler teleprompt his way into the third year of the destruction of the U.S. Remember: besides the other lies he has planned, he’ll mention “investment/investments” many times. In Barry Osama speak…that really means “spend”. Is he going to mention jobs for Americans? If so, why is his Government Motors building a new “green engine” plant that will emply 1,000 workers….in Mexico? Folks, never let reality and truth get in the way of the one you’ve deemed the savior. My father remembers hoards of faithful party members “getting tingly legs” (aka Chris Matthews, a media party hack’s description) watching Adolf at various stadiums in/around Berlin…same in Red Square…Tienimen Square. I didn’t expect zealots to be running the U.S. after the example out of Germany/Russia/China were exposed.
