President Barack Obama, in his State of the Union address, will call on a divided Congress to “reignite” economic growth by focusing on helping the country’s middle-class, and argue that government has a role in shaping prosperity.

“A growing economy that creates good, middle-class jobs -- that must be the North Star that guides our efforts,” Obama will say tonight, according to excerpts released by the White House. “Every day, we should ask ourselves three questions as a nation: How do we attract more jobs to our shores?How do we equip our people with the skills needed to do those jobs?And how do we make sure that hard work leads to a decent living.

Isn’t this the exact opposite of how the Democrats have operated for decades?

“How do we equip our people with the skills needed to do those jobs?”

The kind of jobs we need are NOT hi-tech jobs. They are not even jobs that require a college education.

Half the people in this country have an IQ that is below 100. (average) We need jobs for them.

I visualise a day when people will be free
And we’ll be living in a new society.
No class distinction, no slums or poverty
I have a vision of a new society.
And every home will have a stereo and TV,
a deep freeze, quadrasonic and a washing machine.
So workers of the nation unite.

I am your man
I’ll work out a five-year plan
So vote for me brothers
And I will save this land
And we will nationalise the wealthy companies
And all the directors will be answerable to me,
There’ll be no shirking of responsibilities
So people of the nation unite.

Union Man I’ll work with you hand in hand
For we’re all brothers to our Union Man.
I am your man,
Oh God how I love this land,
So join together save the Fatherland.

I visualize a day when people will be free
And we’ll be living in a new society.
No class distinction, no slums or poverty,
So workers of the nation unite,
Workers of the nation unite,
People of the nation unite.

President of the United States of America Valery Jarrett has asked Teleprompter Guest Speaker Benghazi-Coward Hussein Obama to give her hand-written State of the Union speech tonight.

President Jarrett wants to remind all present that Democrats never keep their promises, and is using Sen. Teddy Bare Kennedy’s Amnesty deal with Pres. Reagan to underscore how stupid and gullible Republican politicians truly are.

The Kennedy Lie that conned Reagan has resulted in 11 Million Mexicans illegally invading the USA.

With Bolshevik Pride, President Jarrett is bringing some of these Illegal aliens to the Bolshevik speech by Hussein Obama so that more Mexicans will be encouraged to illegally invade the USA.

Thus, the expected increase of the mighty weight of the next major invasion of Illegal Mexicans draining away the free stuff of the USA Welfare State will truly be the millstone that grinds America into the final halt that Jarrett and Hussein O. have worked so hard to achieve all of their sorry lives.

BTW, the one thing that will not be discussed by Hussein O. is just what really IS The State of the Union.

“Every day, we should ask ourselves three questions as a nation: How do we attract more jobs to our shores?How do we equip our people with the skills needed to do those jobs?And how do we make sure that hard work leads to a decent living.

Here's your answer Barry: (1) Get government the hell out of the way; (2) lower taxes; (3) DE-REGULATE.

Works every time it's been tried since JFK, Ronald Reagan and G.W. Bush.

The man long known as the "father" of the Constitution--James Madison--himself a President and one of the writers of THE FEDERALIST explanations of that Constitution, believed the role of "free people" to be the real engine of liberty and resulting prosperity.

"The enviable condition of the people of the United States is often too much ascribed to the physical advantages of their soil & climate .... But a just estimate of the happiness of our country will never overlook what belongs to the fertile activity of a free people and the benign influence of a responsible government." - James Madison

"Agriculture, manufactures, commerce, and navigation, the four pillars of our prosperity, are the most thriving when left most free to individual enterprise." - Thomas Jefferson

Sadly, the current President believes concentrations of power accumulated among elected and appointed officials in government--themselves imperfect persons of limited understanding--make better decisions than all the millions of individual citizens will make for themselves and their families.

What arrogance and ignorance of history that belief exposes!!

Someone has to serve the fries, and clean the toilets. Just not the same person, please.


Well, actually the same person does in fast food restaurants which is why I don't go there.
