I’m sorry I missed Obama’s speech! Sounds like it was a real stem-winder.
/sarc
Well, America, you voted for a left-wing agenda, and now you’re going to get it good and hard.
You may get what you want, but you won’t want what you get. Too bad, so sad.
Empty, stupid, happy-talk is no way to run a country
Was it really 7 hours? I have no idea, because I refused to turn on the tv last night.
He didn’t give a SOTU address. What he gave was a “here’s more stupid stuff I want to do” speech.
You nailed it, Mr. Greenfield.
More proof of what the communists have always said: tell the Big Lie.
We need a “Nobel LIARS “ prize for the poseur, pos creep-in -chief.
Stephen Green drunk-blogged it here, pretty hilarious:
Faint for many ... but a repeat of FDR’s first campaign rhetortic. And, there is a pony in there - somewhere.
Obama is a classic megalomaniac. The reason why he has support is because people are stupid, they clamor to power- OR the are themselves, megalomaniacs.
Obama gives people permission to be all kinds of crazy and live in perversion- and so they support him.
No sane person can tolerate him.
Those whose primary motivation is fear try to control others or seek the “security” of being controlled.
Those who are motivated by courage seek neither,
and seek to control their OWN behaviors
and seek self governance.
And the drones (Republicans included) were standing and clapping like the seals they are for his pathetic MARXIST clap trap.
They should all be hanging from oaks.
That’s good... reminded me of Seth Green...
Smart move. By keeping the tv off last night, you didn't have to throw a brick at it, and today you don't have to buy a new one.

That’s all Rubio and the guy with the dead animal on his head needed to say.
tHE nOBEL PEACE pRIZE ALREADY DENOTED A lIAR’S PRIZE.
That's actually a brilliant thought. Perhaps Obama is doing all of these TV spots, interviews, and speeches to get more people to throw bricks through their TVs which then means the economy gets stimulated through the purchase of new TVs.
Keep in mind, Ohaha learned how to gull the people as one of the hardened criminals in Chicago politics ...and he brought all the Chi/con artists to Washington.
REFERENCE ”In the run-up to his SOTU speech, sap-happy Obama was running around telling everyone how we've already “cut our deficit by more than $2.5 trillion,” and are now “more than halfway towards the $4 trillion in deficit reductions...." as he calulatingly planned to push for even more so-called "federal investments" to (cough) "grow" the economy.
Hmmmmmmm.......that sounds an awful lot like the con job Ponzi Madoff pawned off on his hapless investors, as he bilked them out of everything they had. Madoff suavely pushed for ever more "investments" to help their holdings grow. Investors went broke while all the Madoffs got rich.
Ohaha gushed about his 29 totally free federal programs. Sap-happy Ohaha musta dreamed that up while inhaling something on the breakfast table that he thought was artifical sweetener. (/snix). David Axelrod was at Casa de Campo getting a lube job----and didn't have a chance to signoff on that lamebrain idea.
=================================================
MICHELE MALKIN---As her husband delivered his annual SOTU last night, First Lady Michelle Obama hosted the parents of an innocent teenage girl shot and killed by Chicago gang thug. On Friday, President Obama will travel to the Windy City to decry violence and crusade for more gun laws in the town with the strictest gun laws and bloodiest gun-related death tolls in America.
Does the White House really want to open up a national conversation about the state of Chicago? OK, let’s talk.
Obama, his wife, (David Axelrod and ex-COS Rham Emanuel), his campaign strategists, his closest cronies, and his biggest bundlers all hail from Chicago. Senior adviser and former Chicago real estate mogul/city planning commissioner Valerie Jarrett and her old boss, Richard Daley, presided over a massive “Plan for Transformation” in the mid-1990s to rescue taxpayer-subsidized public housing from its bloody hellhole. How’d that work out for you, Chicago?
Answer: This social-justice experiment failed miserably. A Chicago Tribune investigation found that after Daley/Jarrett dumped nearly $500 million of federal funding into crime-ridden housing projects, the housing complexes (including the infamous Altgeld-Murray homes) remained dangerous, drug-infested, racially segregated ghettos. Altgeld is a long-troubled public housing complex on Chicago’s South Side where youth violence has proven immune to “community organizing” solutions and the grand redevelopment schemes championed by Obama and company.
In fact, as I’ve reported previously, it’s the same nightmarish ’hood where Obama cut his teeth as a community activist — and exaggerated his role in cleaning up asbestos in the neighborhood, according to fellow progressive foot soldiers. As always, Obama’s claims to success there were far more aspirational than concrete.
In the meantime, lucrative contracts went to politically-connected Daley pals in the developer world to “save” Chicago youth and families. Another ghetto housing project, the Grove Parc slum, was managed by Jarrett’s former real-estate empire, Habitat, Inc. Jarrett refused to answer questions about the dilapidated housing development after becoming the top consigliere in the Obama administration.
But as the Boston Globe’s Binyamin Appelbaum, who visited the slums several years ago, reported: “Federal inspectors graded the condition of the complex an 11 on a 100-point scale — a score so bad the buildings now face demolition. . . . [Jarrett] co-managed an even larger subsidized complex in Chicago that was seized by the federal government in 2006, after city inspectors found widespread problems.”
Grove Parc and several other monumental housing flops “were developed and managed by Obama’s close friends and political supporters. Those people profited from the [federal] subsidies even as many of Obama’s constituents suffered.” Democrats poured another $30 million in public money into the city’s public schools to curb youth violence over the last three years. The New York Times hailed the big-government plan to fund more social workers, community organizers and mentors and create jobs for at-risk youth.
But watchdogs on the ground exposed it as a wasteful “makework scheme.” One local activist nicknamed it “Jobs for Jerks” because “it rewards some of the worst students in the school system with incredibly rare employment opportunities while leaving good students to fend for themselves.”
Obama and his ineffectual champions of Chicago’s youth will demand more taxpayer “investments” to throw at the problem. But money is no cure for the soaring fatherlessness, illegitimacy and family disintegration that have characterized Chicago inner-city life since Obama’s hero Saul Alinsky pounded the pavement.
As City Journal’s Heather MacDonald noted in a damning indictment of the do-gooders’ failures, “official silence about illegitimacy and its relation to youth violence remains as carefully preserved in today’s Chicago as it was during Obama’s organizing time there.”
Team Obama will find perverted ways to lay blame for Chicago’s youth violence crisis on the NRA, Fox News, George Bush and the Tea Party. But as the community organizer-in-chief prepares to evade responsibility again, he should remember: When you point one finger at everyone else, four other fingers point right back at you-know-who.
