State of the Union is absurd

President Barack Obama's campaign speech Tuesday to a joint session of Congress — aka the State of the Union — proves we have been teleported from America to Absurdistan. Cases in point:

n Though Europe and the euro teeter on a precipice because of vast, past borrowing, Obama hardly mentioned our record $15 trillion debt. See? Absurd.

But Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels clearly defined the debt disaster in his Republican response to Obama. "In three short years, an unprecedented explosion of spending, with borrowed money, has added trillions to an already unaffordable national debt," Daniels said. "And yet the president has put us on a course to make it radically worse in the years ahead."

"The federal government now spends one of every four dollars in the entire economy," Daniels said. "It borrows one of every three dollars it spends. No nation, no entity, large or small, public or private can thrive, or survive intact, with debts as huge as ours."

n Obama called out Congress — again. But the president absurdly failed to mention how Absurdistan has operated for more than 1,000 days with no budget. Think about that. Please. We've been through a financial crisis. We've been through a recession. Yet Majority Leader Harry Reid has not produced a budget in the Absurdistan Senate in almost three years.

The whole speech was filled with crap like that, and the Democrats jumping up and down applaudung like “Jack in the Boxes” as they bit heavily into that manure sandwich.

The whole speech was filled with lies and distortion, and promises made and never kept.

Yes it is.
As long as the lop eared community organizer is at the controls it will remain so.

Seemed to be patting himself on the back because GM had a pretty big comeback(due to a tsunami in Japan which everyone forgot about already)

I did get the feeling that something was really wrong though. Like people were afraid someone really would yank him off stage with a hook as they clapped under duress because they don’t even buy his BS anymore.

They really should have called it what it was, a State of the Occupation 99% speech instead.

I just caught a glimpse of Van Jones speaking on CSPIN and was just wondering if he’s providing Zero with speech material.

Even with teleprompters, Obama has to use the same ol’ speech, year after year. The fag is a dunce.

“Even with teleprompters, Obama has to use the same ol’ speech, year after year.”

Not a winning formula; every years the lies are more obvious. Thank God he’s that one-dimensional.

[FreedBird]

Obama has a spending problem, very similar to a gambling problem. Now he wants to shake down the rich, so he has more money to spend, as he blames others.
