So many quips to make about this being the one time a year that a Republican Congress will stand and applaud President Obama. So little time.Nicole Hernandez 1/21/2015 2:10:56 AM

@Soxfan: Clarifying the question. Are you asking if Mike Dukakis said he only took 2 sick days or that Obama says that? I'm checking the remarks right now and don't see that in the speech. I also don't see it in Joan's column.Nicole Hernandez 1/21/2015 2:12:27 AM

As a millennial, I have to say a good portion of my counterparts have college degrees but are not working the types of jobs that they studied for. We were juniors/seniors when the recession first hit, and I think it felt like the "American Dream" was just a broken promise for so many of us. So... what does it matter if we have more college graduates? Can they put that education to use?Nicole Hernandez 1/21/2015 2:14:32 AM

From the globe
“It happened to me maybe once or twice in the 12 years I was governor,” said Dukakis. “You try not to make a habit of it, but if it hits you, it hits you.”

Focusing less on proposals and more on values is a pretty smart rhetorical approach when your party controls neither chamber of Congress.by Dante Ramos via twitter 1/21/2015 2:17:05 AM

"Will we recapture the sense of common purpose" I doubt that will happen in the next two years, Mr. President. But I freely admit I'm a cynic.Nicole Hernandez 1/21/2015 2:17:41 AM

I'm certain the point of using Rebekah and Ben's tale as the first anecdote is part of a softer approach to an audience that is likely hostile. It focuses on a family and how they worked together and stuck by each other during a tough time.Nicole Hernandez 1/21/2015 2:19:20 AM
