What We Learned

Those witnessing the State of the Union address found the Teleprompter-in-Chief remains glib when reading from a prepared script. We have one of the greatest pitchmen since Billy Mays selling us what we already have, are perfectly capable of earning for ourselves (like college education), or simply do not need and all of course paid for with our own money or from borrowing largely from Red China, leveraged against our grandchildren in what Senator McCain aptly pointed out is "generational theft". With much of America realizing that Barack Hussein Obama is way out of his league (which more appropriately would be in an ivory tower classroom where he may pollute a few minds but can do little damage), he is no longer an agent of change but a rambling radical with traditionalists seeing the need for a change of agent and just counting the days to the next election to start throwing the bums out. A strong stomach was required to watch all the way through with the horrific visage of old stone face Nancy Pelosi and bobblehead Biden behind the President. The low lives continue to play the class envy game, promising to give the highlife to the shiftless with redistributionist schemes. The populist propagandist continued to demagogue banks and financial institutions which were put in peril in the first place by government pressure against "redlining" which forced the banks to give away 4.3 trillion dollars (a figure cited by Mark Levin on his excellent radio show) in loans that would never be repaid and started the economic crisis (not irresponsible actions by banks and insurers but coercive government policy). Nikita Khrushchev must be dancing with the devil right now as he sees his nemesis destroying herself from within as a US President offers America Marx instead of Madison. The President threatened to dilute citizenship and sovereignty with immigration reform (read amnesty for illegals) to inflame patriots even more. The President declared that he is still determined to joust against non-existent global warming at the expense of our productivity and prosperity. And to cap the speech, Obama spoke of "shared values" while pledging to repeal "don't ask, don't tell". If enacted, the plan to promote homosexuals serving openly in the military will only further sap good order, discipline, and morale. For most Americans, I do not think homosexual perversion would constitute a shared value. So with the naive blunderer in office still pushing health care rationing, bound to hasten the demise of many, and still hoping to sock it to the rich with un-American limits on compensation, the speech was boilerplate liberal, offering death and taxes while besmirching traditional morality and brushing off concerns about granting Constitutional rights to foreign terrorists while casting abundant and largely unmerited blame on the previous administration who after all suffered under machinations of Democrats in Congress wrecking our fiscal house and kept the homeland safe after the Clinton administration had left the door open to the September 11, 2001 carnage. There was even sanctimonious mention that the US no longer tortures which we never did but the techniques we did employ such as waterboarding may be sorely missed with the next successful mass casualty attack. I hope the holier than thou, narrow-shouldered boy President remembers that he is not running against "blame everything on Bush" in 2012.
