BOSTON (AP) — Tensions within the Democratic Party were on display in the living rooms of Massachusetts, where liberal activists watched President Barack Obama's State of the Union address with skepticism.
Like many in the party's far-left wing, those who enjoyed pizza and beer at a Boston-area watch party Tuesday night have been disappointed by the president's performance while facing a divided Congress. Some offered positive marks for his speech, but said that it did little to resurrect their once-passionate enthusiasm for the nation's top Democrat.
"I think he offered some good things," said party host Josh Tauber, a software engineer and Democratic activist who volunteered for both of Obama's campaigns. "I would get more excited if I believed those things would happen."

ReplyDeleteA farmer anywhere in America would need a permit to spread that much BS!
If he gave that speech in Cooperstown, NY at the headwaters of the bay by the time he finished the water under the bay bridge would look like the inlet pipe to the 'bury WWTP!
me thinks Josh Tauber is an idiot
ReplyDeleteSo whats the tension? One half saying lets stop the pretense and just announce the communist takeover of the US, the other half declaring; no, no, we want an Eyptian-like Muslim Brotherhood takeover of the US with suspension of the Congress and the constitution? Like Rodney King said "can't we all just get along?"
