How come it was impossible to reduce spending BEFORE this speech?

Well, it is somewhat comforting to see that private citizens aren’t the only ones worried about their job.

The Infrastructure Bank is the worst idea. Imagine an “independent” organization that can spend as much as it wants without any real oversight.

Sure Obama says we’ll give it $10 billion but the left knows this “bank” will be able to spend $100 billion with that. It’s a bank, after all.

This thing must never pass.

In fact, it takes no imagination at all -- Fannie Mae...Freddie Mac...the Federal Reserve....

I noticed Tim Geithner sitting in the front row of the “GOP” side.

Clearly Obama had the front rows flooded with his sychophants. Luckily, the GOP knew that the speech would be such a dud that it wouldn’t matter if they let some Dems in front of them to look like idiots clapping for this nonsense.

We could stand to watch/listen to him for only 15 minutes. I didn’t officially count them but my guess would be about 9X during that 15 minutes.

Infrastructure spending on highways, bridges, and schools.

In other words, "unions, unions, and unions."

The Obama machine needs more campaign money, with Sarah Palin sitting outside their prairie fort organizing her Indian war party they are afraid that they won’t have enough troops or ammunition.

I couldn’t stand to watch/listen to him even for 15 seconds.

That's right, Obama punted the heavy lifting to the super-committee, and pledged to introduce another general deficit plan in twelve days

Once again, the boy President introduces "his" plan which relies on everyone else to do the heavy lifting. For the smartest President ever, he's awfully short on ingenuity. You'd think he'd be eager to flex that superior intellect and dazzle us all with his brilliance. Instead, he stood at the pulpit, repeating the same empty line (only more fervently as he went along).

President vacation just delivered a speech as empty as his suit.

Kind of like David Brooks loves it in today’s NYTimes?
