Senator Joni Ernst Responds to Obama’s Night of a Thousand Lies

I’m Joni Ernst. As a mother, a soldier, and a newly elected senator from the great State of Iowa, I am proud to speak with you tonight.

A few moments ago, we heard the President lay out his vision for the year to come. Even if we may not always agree, it’s important to hear different points of view in this great country. We appreciate the President sharing his.

Tonight though, rather than respond to a speech, I’d like to talk about your priorities. I’d like to have a conversation about the new Republican Congress you just elected, and how we plan to make Washington focus on your concerns again.

Just in case you missed last nights republican response the the lyin' king's diatribe. More tip toeing around so seems to me these folks did NOT get the message loud and clear. So, another year of no progress. Ho hum.

We've had enough "progress". It's time to start rolling some things back.

The LGBT folks are happy that Obama mentioned lesbian gay bisexual and transgendered in his speech. A first for a State of the Union speech. He also gave a nod to homosexual marriage S a civil right being exercised in many states.

All in all a speech for liberals to be happy about.

It’s going to be an interesting world when the only groups of people left are homosexuals and Mooselimbs.

Well, I didn’t mean progress in that form. I guess I could have said gaining ground in the fight against tyranny. :>}

I seem to remember him mentioning them multiple times in previous SoU speeches.

Well, as long as there aren’t any Christians, the left will be “happy”.

There was certainly nothing said in her speech that will make anyone squeal.

Very general, platitudes. Now, let’s see some action.

All the male Republicans were busy with sensitivity training so they can learn to sound just like her. They don’t have far to go. What I wouldn’t give to hear just one Republican Congressman bite the bullet and tell it like it is. Trey Gowdy has come closer than any I have heard but it seems he’s been shipped off or muzzled.

Ernst doesn’t have enough experience in front of a camera to have taken on the role assigned to her last night. All the comments were some version of , “Bless her heart, she did fine.” Which means she didn’t faint in front of the camera.

The State of the Union address should be scrapped because it is nothing but a media circus and lends nothing to the nation’s understanding of our deteriorating condition. Having a response to the speech that is taped before the speech is given is simply stupid.

He is the president of homosexuals global warming enthusiasts, and all other assorted liberal kooks and crackpots who support every liberal cause of the day.

More than other presidents have been, Obama is the president of liberal America, rather than the president of all the people.

He repeated that there is not a red state America and a blue state America but he governs as if the whole country is liberal America. And that nobody but liberals count in his world.

Crazy how he says he has no more elections but gets in a snarky remark that he won both presidential campaigns. What an adolescent Alinsky mindset. Sheesh.

I refuse to watch any speech by the Resident. After reading her speech I can only say with extreme skepticism that maybe Congress will get something done.

But I’m not holding my breath.

Pretty much he’s the president of everything that is anti-Christian, anti-American, and anti-Western Culture.
