Can this Joni Ernst person speak competently or is she going to provide yet another embarrassing GOP response?

Obama is going to call for the repeal of Citizens United tonight in the State of the Union and will announce a new executive order that requires any company with a federal contract to disclose its political contributions to PACs, Candidates, 501(c)(4)s, ballot measures, Trade Associations, and 527 groups.

He will also urge the SEC to adopt a rule this year requiring publicly traded companies to disclose their corporate political contributions (but technically can't make them do anything because the SEC is an independent agency).

I'd be fine with this kind of stuff as long as we're going to play fair and subject unions to every rule, regulation, limitation etc. related to political contributions by corporations, businesses, trade groups, etc. What is Obama's stance on that???

Here's her victory speech, you be the judge.



Meh. Can string sentences together, but kind of grating. Just a bunch of talking point word salad. No different than what will be delivered by the POTUS though I suppose.

I don't know why I hate myself so much, but I'll end up watching both.

Unions are already subject to LM-2 disclosure which is significantly more stringent than the rules Obama is proposing for corporations and much much more stringent than "nothing" which is what corporations have to disclose when they use treasury funds. Here is a quick side by side comparison.

As a consumer of the finest brand of football known to man, SEC FOOTBAW, I can tell you that it's not REALLY a big event until you're blaring Sandstorm over loud speakers.

Is Newt Gingrich still on CNN? Trying to decide between that and FOX.

I can't get enough of his smug face/grin.
