Senator James Webb Democratic Response to the SOTU Speech

[LatashaLaval]

A man who is more then the Govt. Issue Politicians; truly a 'Man for All Seasons.' Where do all the good men go? Sseems like they leave DC, it's the BS factor that is hard for brillent minds to tolerate. Senator Webb will be missed on the Floor of the Senate in 2013. BTW, as far as I'm concerned he is easy on the eyes.

Great speech so long ago

[shap94]

great speech

[Erik2erik1234]

Webb is a very intresting senator and I hope he runs in 2016, I can't say i'd support him not knowing who else might run, but he certainly would be a wonderful candidate.

[wise4me]

i have a copy of a time to fight,great book!

[sgtarmas]

Piyush Jindal should have watched this

[burntrubber11]

so true

[aweiss]

New Direction he asks for? he got it: The Surge.

[keithellington]

Dude, Jim Webb might as well have "unpresidential" tattooed on his forehead. He might run, but he would never be elected.

[jackal1221]

That's true. But simply because he's so honest and direct. No BS, no tricks, a pragmatic rationalist. A good man.

[socratiskiss]

What a strong leader. Webb 2016!

Obama 2008 & 2012!

[mikejim007]

Jim Webb will be the next Democratic President that will be unbeatable. Right now- I am pulling for Obama/Hagel... Watch out though 8 years from now- President Jim Webb

[mientememami]

Such practical and straight-forward reasoning has NO PLACE IN POLITICS!!! Shame on you, Sen. Webb! At no point did you make me feel scared of terrorists, godless liberals, immigrants, or minotaurs. You'll never make it in this game, kid!

[jackal1221]

You are fucking amazing. Bravo.

[MarkCM07]

Obama/Webb in '08!

[bgbell2019]

OBAMA/WEBB 2008

[shap94]

if he does, we will join him...if he does not, we will be showing him the way...

[Adtotheam]

Obama/Webb 08!

[cocacola1023]

It is very nice to listen to someone who is able to apply a historical perspective to our country's current problems. Sen. Webb obviously was not inebriated and enabled in his personal faults until his 40th birthday like the person who this response was aimed at.

[macekid421]

webb seems like a good guy.

[Shasta4737]

Please run for president Senator Webb.

[FXMAHO]

Nancy Pelosi is his Pimp?? Equal Opportunity abounds!! What glass ceiling?

[dal51]

Jim Rocks!

[glv80]

While I disagree with his statements on the economy, he is right on with the war. He sounds very Presidential. I think he should make a run someday. I'm as conservative as you get, and I wouldn't mind pulling the lever for Webb.

[grantchanning]

This man kicks ass. What else can I say.

[Trudeau790]

Very impressive. It is high time that we connected our present impasse with some sense of our own history and traditions and stopped thinking that past approaches and restrictions are "quaint."

I am so pleased Senator Webb connected the costs of war to the economic costs at home. But more importantly, he called the president's approach to this war "reckless."

And it is.

[cutiepa2ti]

Senator James Webb presented an awesome speech and told it like it is. There is no middle class anymore. You're either rich or poor and hanging on a tread. There is no Middle-Class. You try to hold onto you job that could be outsourced. I don't know Senator Webb well, but I can't disapprove with any part or comments of his speech. He certainly gets an A+++ from me.

[nothankyoumam]

After six years of Dubya & Co., I can't tell you how heartwarming it is to here someone speak with integrity, brains and good sense. THANK YOU!!!

[mav7770]

Before you people out there give this Man Props for just speaking before a camera with a script.. I suggest you look into his past and especially into the Green river valley shale oil scam... This man speaking was at the Heart of it... There is more then meets the eyes with this one!

[badtux]

Ooh, all hands on deck, Swift Boater sighting hard astern!

[mav7770]

No swift boater here, Just look into it.. Green river valley Shale oil scam... He is no different than Bush.. Webb is an Oil man as well... The Valley is said to contain the worlds largest deposits of crude oil in the world...

[RadarKing]

Well said. This country needs that man.

[lollyliquor]

Finally. Someone from politics speaking clearly and from the heart. I'm almost beginning to believe there is hope for our country yet.

[hgdjhjdfjg]

perhaps the only politician i could conceivably vote for for president if he ran

[jackcardwell]

I read he refused to read the prescripted speech provided by the Dem party, this is his own stuff. Good for Webb. Wish we had more Dems of his caliber. I am tired of the Kerry, Clinton, Obama types who fenceline their comments. We want candidates with backbone. If we can't have Webb, at least give us Edwards in '08.

[coreyphillipsx]

This guy is the man. PERIOD. I knew right after hearing this that this wasn't prepared by a speech writer. I was right. This man is a maverick and you should pay close attention to him.

[IU90]

Preach it, brother! Time for the middle class to quit taking it and start fighting back.

[leandroman]

Hell yeah! Go Jim Webb!

[sonicfrog]

Thanks for posting this video. I'm a Vietnam vet, and Webb nailed it regarding the roles and responsibilities of the troops and those of the commander, which in President Bush's case is one of deceit, incompetence, and mismanagement.

[anothrdumscrname]

now im not a democrat, but u gotta admit this guy really stuck it 2 bush
