what he announced last night in the state of the union address. here with reaction and analysis is richard kelsey, assistant dean at george mason university school of law. always good to you have here with us. your thoughts on the speech last night? the president said the economy is strong. >> we've never seen a president say at the state of the union it isn't -- the state of the union isn't strong. so that's not a surprise. the president wants to propose things that the republicans will never pass. the republicans want to propose bills that the. will never -- the president will never sign. that's basically the lesson of last night. >> did you see any areas where we can expect compromise? i know voters voted for a change on both sides of the hill but they still want these law maketories do something? >> i think at best we might see compromise on the transportation bill and on small marginal issues but on the big issues like tax reform, foreign policy, the things that really matter, i don't want to say transportation didn't matter but the big ticket items, i don't see any compromise and i see no effort by either party to really substanley compromise-- >> substantively compromise. >> what do you think about her state. was it strong enough and the right message for the g.o.p. to send? >> most of this was staged and not crafted. in this case the republicans wanted to send a message. they're very unpopular. congress' popularity is around 13%. they wanted to send a simple message, hey, we represent women, we represent veterans. we're not mean, scary people. and i think that was the goal of that speech. very difficult no matter who you are to follow a sitting president with a full house. she looked a little bit stiff. but she certainly didn't make any major gaffes. she wasn't reaching for beverages or doing anything crazy. i think she did what she set out to do. >> thank you very much. we'll be analyzing the speech and the campaign 2016 ready under way over the next couple of weeks and months. that's it for wusa9 news at noon. we'll be back at 5:00. until then, have a great day. be safe out there in the snow. >> adam: "when asked about her relationship with abbott chelsea's eyes danced with adoration and love." my god. can you believe this? >> sage: calm down. >> adam: how am i supposed to stay calm when every day that goes by is another day that i've lost with my wife and son? we need to speed this up. >> sage: we need to be careful. we're supposed to be having coffee like happy married couples do. okay? so if you start taking shortcuts, you're gonna make a mistake. >> adam: okay, listen, you just take care of your end, all right, and keep pumping nick for information about the good, ol' days, because the more information i have, the less chance he has of realizing that i'm not his good buddy gabe from boarding school. >> sage: i'm doing everything i can! >> adam: are you doing everything you can? really? okay, are you playing on his interest in you? because you've obviously sparked something, sage. he likes you, okay? so, you know, make your eyes dance with adoration, all right? both of our futures depend on this. >> nick: it's never gonna happen. i never lose at this game. i'm a master of it. you don't want none of this!
