And he doesn't care what you or anyone else thinks.
It's hard to imagine a more complete shellacking than the one Barack Obama took in the 2014 mid-term elections. Yes, I know, his name was not on the ballot. But his policies were, as he himself told us. And Democrat candidates for the House and Senate got their clocks cleaned across the country for supporting these ill-conceived policies.
With a loud and clear voice, the public elected a Republican majority as a way of saying, "Enough!"
Enough wealth redistribution. Enough government health care. Enough regulation. Enough hostility toward business. Enough class warfare. Enough spending. Enough foreign policy weakness.
Enough!
So as Obama took the podium for last night's State of the Union address, you might have thought we'd hear some humility from a man so thoroughly chastised by the public. Then again, if you've paid much attention to Obama these past six years, you probably wouldn't expect that at all. It's all about him, all the time. And if he's faced with a Congress determined to take the country in a different direction, then Obama will only double down on his partisan, confrontational, big-government instincts.
And that's what he did last night. When not taking partisan jabs at Republicans and wealthy people, or threatening to veto legislation the public wants (like the Keystone XL pipeline), he took his big-government pandering to a whole new level:
Obama thinks the purpose of government is to decide who gets what in society, and to take from those not favored to give to those who are. He has convinced a lot of people that if they don't have what they want, it's because someone else has too much, and they should look to government to confiscate from the haves and redistribute to the have-nots.
But apparently he hasn't convinced enough people, as the massive Republican majorities in attendance last night demonstrates. Some of the public can be fooled by liberalism for a time, but when they see the results of it, they usually came to their senses. As they did in November.
But Obama doesn't care what the voters think. He doesn't care what Congress thinks. He doesn't care what anyone thinks. He knows that none of these proposals are going to pass, but he also figures that if he proposes them, he'll rile up both his supporters and his critics and start an argument that might benefit him and his side politically.
And if Obama benefits, then Obama figures he's done his job. That's our president!
but he does have cattle crap on his shoes.
I’ve said that for a long time, why on earth would BO and Moochelle want to give up the gravy train????? Absolutely nothing would surprise me with those two leaches.
Read on Drudge that one dinner out with the Obama’s in Hawaii, cost more than most middle income people get in tax breaks.
I admit it...I laughed.
Act-as-if.
The basic operating system of a narcissistic personality.
That pic is borderline obscene! ;o)
Anyone see or have a link to Zero’s youtube interviews with the three teen hipsters? Have not seen a thread devoted to this travesty yet!
But, you see, the Republican party wasn't running against Obama's policies it was running on I'm not a Democrat
— they hadn't done anything with what power they had before the elections to stop the Obama agenda
because they actually agree with it; now that they got your vote, what makes you think they'll do anything different?
Or SeeBS, PMSNB, Commie News Channel (CNN), The New York and Los Angeles Slimes, The Washington Compost or any other left wing publication?
Not likely
That is your opinion to which you are entitled to.
That would not surprise me one bit if he does
Hopefully it will motivate people to contribute so they don’t have to see it anymore. (until next time!)
The elites just laugh —
Democrats: What are you going to do? Vote Republican?
Republicans: What are you going to do? Vote Democrat?
I can imagine one - the 2008 elections. Did the GOP cave in and allow Obama everything he wanted? So why are people irate that Obama isn't rolling over himself?
Well at least we have......uh......UNITY
Not going to happen.
Not going to happen.
Obama has a Phone and a Pen and his family already occupies the WH ,LOL
But did you know he won two elections?
