KS Gov Kathleen Sebelius' Democratic Response to SOTU

Back


transcript:

"I'm Kathleen Sebelius, Governor of the State of Kansas.

And I am grateful for the opportunity to speak with you tonight.

I'm a Democrat, but tonight, it really doesn't matter whether you think of yourself as a Democrat or a Republican or an Independent. Or none of the above.

Instead, the fact you're tuning in this evening tells me each of you is, above all, an American, first.

You are mothers, and fathers. Grandparents and grandchildren. Working people and business-owners. Americans, all.

And the American people - folks like you and me - are not nearly as divided as our rancorous politics might suggest. [...]

We are Americans sharing a belief in something greater than ourselves, a nation coming together to meet challenges and find solutions; to share sacrifices and share prosperity; and focus, once again, not only on the individual good but on the common good.

On behalf of the new American majority - the majority of elected officials at the national, state and local level, and the majority of Americans - we ask you, Mr. President, to join us. We are ready to work together, to be the America we have been - and can be once again.

Thank you for listening. God bless and sleep well. And in the morning, let's get to work."

Nice way to apply a lil history there sebelius. fireside chats?? Anywayz she's pretty much responsible for salvia being illegal here. Even though no studies have really been done.. I hope it doesn't cure cancer.. Soon it will probably be outlawed everywhere because ONE kid supposedly became depressed by it and killed himself. Making plants illegal is outrageous and I lose respect real fucking quick

WTF SHE SUCKS. She upholds only those most average and mediocre. She has done NOTHING constructive for Kansas. If you like her, you are most likely a pot head w/ a 3rd tier BA just like her.

Sibelius SUCKS. She made KANSAS HELL. She got rid of (just like Pelosi who ironically went to Trinity and just has 3rd tier BA) any person (woman or man) who was genetically viable, attractive and intelligent (Trinity must put serious jealousy issues into the psyche of it's TERRIBLE graduates). Crime in the state is ASTRONOMICAL, Immigration is a HUGE problem (even Sunni), The state lost business and so much intellectual property under her & the staff of potheads.
She upholds mediocre.

Just what has Barack Obama and Kathleen Sebelius done? The answer is NOTHING OF VALUE...

This is *not* the real Kathleen. She is a fantastic, charasmatic person and politician. very "real." I only wish she would open up instead of this such scripted speech. That AND she knows my name! I hope you get a good seat in the cabinet Kathleen!

I'm sorry, but I feel like she took 3 Xanax before making this speech. I'm sure she's got a great heart and is quite intelligent, but unfortunately, people will switch the channel on her in a second. :-/

Another canned pre-planned heartless speech. Can't anyone speak from the heart anymore?
