Obama’s State of the Union Address
So, what did you think of Obama’s State of the Union address last night? I got a kick out of Fox New’s poll where they asked people “What do you want to hear Obama say tonight” and they answered “I resign”. I wish!
I was not surprised at all that he did not pivot toward the center, as all the analysts were predicting. He just doesn’t “get” the American people, period. No amount of bad ratings or democrats being shoved out of office will get that through his thick skull.
I was actually HAPPY that his speech was almost a carbon copy of last year’s. That just means it’ll be easier to get conservatives into office in November. And what was this “Washington this, Washington that” he kept saying? He IS Washington now!
I was also amused to watch the interview he did where he stated “I would rather be a great one-term president than a so-so two term president”. Isn’t that an oxymoron? I mean, if you ARE a great one-term president, wouldn’t you get re-elected for a second term? Yet another example of how he doesn’t “get it”.
How could he have been so completely contradictory. He is against earmarks, but he signed a bill with the most earmarks in history. He is for transparency, but cuts secret unconstitutional deals behind closed doors. He is for new nuclear power plants and off shore drilling, but just try to start either one and see how fast it gets shot down. He is for jobs, but taxes small businesses to the point where it’s either hire someone or pay your taxes. I truly believe it’s because this guy is totally clueless to how the world works. And people are starting to notice. He has the lowest approval rating at this point in his presidency than any other president. He has the largest partisan gap of any other president in history. People who voted for him are now waking up and saying, “What the hell did I do? This isn’t the change I wanted!”
So, nothing’s changed, but everything has. The conservatives are gaining momentum. Obamacare is all but dead. So is Cap and Trade. Apparently there is a God, and he’s a conservative!
