"I’m a Democrat. But I believe what Republican Abraham Lincoln believed: That Government should do for people only what they cannot do better by themselves, and no more."

Just tried imagining John McCain as president, and Sarah Palin as veep, doing a State of the Union.
Someone at their computer and good with photoshop, can you make an image of this? I want to know if it’s as terrifying as I imagine.
“For the first time in nine years, there are no Americans fighting in Iraq. For the first time in two decades, Osama bin Laden is not a threat to this country. Most of al-Qaida’s top lieutenants have been defeated. The Taliban’s momentum has been broken, and some troops in Afghanistan have begun to come home.”
The best screencap, and angle, of the night.
Sometimes government can be pretty.

Eric Cantor is not amused.
Best face of the night.
For most people, it’s harder to frown than smile. For Eric Cantor, it’s the opposite.
He can’t smile unless there’s a kitten dying nearby.

"So I listened to that Sputnik moment talk over and over again, and I think, No, we don’t need one of those. You know what we need is a Spudnut moment. … The Spudnut shop in Richland, Wash., it’s a bakery, it’s a little coffee shop that’s so successful, 60-some years, generation to generation, a family-owned business, not looking for government to bail them out and make their decisions for them. It’s just hard-working patriotic Americans in this shop. We need more Spudnut moments in America, and I wish that President Obama would understand in that heartland of America, what it is that really results in the solutions that we need to get this economy back on the right track. It’s a shop like that."

Sarah Palin on President Obama’s State of the Union address, to Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren*, Jan. 26, 2011
Commenter Joni Marie Cruz points out:
Actually, Spudnuts was a franchise founded in the mid-40s and at its peak in ‘68 there were 315 franchises with a total of $25mil in combined sales. By 1989 only 28 franchises remained. No idea how many besides the one in Richland are still open. I’m sure the folks who own the store are hardworking and enterprising and I salute them, but it’s not quite the started-with-only-a-pot-of-oil-a-one-burner-stove-and-our-secret-recipe-mom-an-pop-up-by-their-bootstraps-only-in-America story that Sarah Palin seems to paint them as.
