What did everyone think about the SOTU?

[N-O-G]

Well?

I like that they had the response in Richmond Virginia. In many ways the heart of American Conservatism.

McKinnon's humor and his overall response is pretty good so far. I fear that he is seeking too much agreement. I don't know if any of you saw Brooks, but I think that there is a similar RINO approach being employed here. Compromising and seeking commonality with Marxism isn't going to solve any problem but rather create more of them.

"We should be spending taxpayer dollars to defeat terrorists, not protect them"

Truer words were never spoken.

Inspiring, as usual. (you can read it here).

I thought it convenient for Obama to mention the inherited debt of two previous wars, even as he started a brand new one. Remember, Karzai said Afghanistan needs at least 15 years of US commitment. And how much is that going to cost?

"We should be spending taxpayer dollars to defeat terrorists, not protect them"

Translation: The plan is to chase after the bogeyman...forever.

State of the Union?

Is that what was on last night?

You see, I saw Barack Obama on TV and thought, "It must be Wednesday."

Or Tuesday,

Or Monday,

...

Obama showed a keen awareness of the situation he is in. The Republicans won't even applaud tax cuts when the words come from a Democrat's mouth. He refuted his critics point by point. But it doesn't matter unless he can get the significant change he promised done. "Deficit of trust" gets to the heart of the matter. The test is whether he will be able to overcome the politics as usual that surround him. That's going to be tough. But unless he can, the deficit of trust will remain large out here where people live.

Obama showed a keen awareness of the situation he is in. The Republicans won't even applaud tax cuts when the words come from a Democrat's mouth.

Because they know he has no intention of cutting taxes, or even keeping the tax cuts that are in place.

And he flat out prevaricated when he said the Supreme Court ruling reversing campaign contribution laws would allow foreign contributions. That....is......incorrect--and he knows it.

But unless he can, the deficit of trust will remain large out here where people live.

With his attack on the Supreme Court, which has re-leveled the playing field between business/capitalists and the unions and the MSM, he just jacked up the deficit of trust another notch. Democrats are even bailing out on him, except, of course, for those like Chuck Schumer who's the senator who stands to loose the most income, by far, because of the SCOTUS ruling. I hope Obama goes to California to campaign for Barbara Boxer. Pro'bly won't happen. Counting the two trips to Copenhagen (Climategate and the Olympics), Virginia, New Jersey and now Massachusetts, he's 0-5.

It's obvious that from the President on down to the operatives on the site here that the message sent by Massachusetts is going unheeded. It's truly ironic that Uncle Teddy was actually responsible for changing the succession law so that Brown could replace him. It shows how fast and vociferously things have swung around. Almost nobody saw the '94 midterm elections coming, but only those in complete denial are not heeding the huge red flags for November, which is just going to make it worse--which is fine.
