2106- Obama arrives, phony shakes and smiles abound as he walks the wall of shame.
2108 - still walking the hand shake aisle, shaking the Supreme court members, I wonder if he will slam them again tonight?
2110 - Obama vigorously shakes Bohner hand and appears to taunt him with an "I'm gonna get you tonight".
2111 - Speech begins.....
Begins with a salute to the troops. Joint Chiefs like the opening line, they stand and applaud.
Takes credit for no Americans fighting in Iraq. Rousing standing O, Osama is no threat to this country. Why not say America?
These achievements are a testament to the military's courage, wish Congress worked together like the military.
"Think of America working together for energy independents". Yeah right, what about drilling for oil, and piping it from Canada?
"Think of my grandfather who received a GI Bill and went to college". Really, I didn't know that.
"Everyone plays by the same set of rules"! Yeah, all except Obama's minions.
Obviously reading from the teleprompter. I hadn't noticed that so blatantly before.
"In the six months before I took office we lost 4 million jobs. In the last 22 months businesses have created 3 million jobs"?
Last year we created the most jobs since 2005. More fact checking should be done here.
The state of our union is getting stronger. Really?
I will fight obstructionism with action. Really, how by golfing another 90 rounds?
Now taking credit for the auto industry. Another red herring, "some said I should let it die" Really, who said let it die?
"Today GM is on top as the worlds number one auto maker" "the American auto industry is back" Wow, it's boom time folks! Detroit is booming!! I guess we should ignore the homes selling for 100 bucks.
"For the first time in 15 years Master Locks is running at full capacity". Yeah, locks are needed for all the bordered up foreclosed homes!
Change the tax code, here we go again. No tax cuts for outsourcing. Master Locks bringing home the bacon!
No company should be allowed to not pay its fair share of taxes. What about GE?
"Bigger tax cut for American manufacturer". He's sounding like a crazed right winger! :-)
"Send me these tax reforms and I'll sign them right away". Yeah, over Reid's dead body!
The speech is intended for Ohio, they must really think they need Ohio to win the next election. Detroit booming, Toledo booming, Ohio is apparently doing fantastic!
Inspect those borders, inspect those companies producing overseas for safety.
"Level that playing field with foreign competors". He's sounding like Buchanan now...
Jakie Bray, single mom from Ohio, more Ohio references. What about the other states?
"Join me in training 2 million Americans that lead directly to a job".
One program, one website where you can find a job and get training. Here we go, another government agency is being outlined. What about the Department of Labor?? Why haven't they already built the website??
Teachers are being laid off. Here we go, another pander to the NEA and Teachers Union.
Teachers work tirelessly, for little pay. Yeah for 9 months a year.
"Reward the best teachers". OMG he's sounding like Newt Gingrich now!! "Get rid of poor performing teachers".
"Tonight I am proposing every state keep every child in school until the age of 18". I would like to know how he proposes to enforce this one.
Cut the cost of education, increase student aid. States pay for more education, colleges keep costs down. I guess he doesn't know just about every state college has increased tuition 3-5% this year.
Here it comes, give illegal immigrants a college education. They get an education and then go home to their foreign country. Really? There are fewer illegal crossings then when I was elected. We should work on comprehensive immigration reform right now. Right, how are you leading the effort?
"Send me a law that gives all illegals a chance to earn their citizenship". More pandering...
Women need to earn equal pay for equal work. I thought we solved that problem?
Support everyone who is willing to work. Yeah, except those who need inexpensive energy.
"Expand tax relief, put them in a bill and get in on my desk this year". Over Reid's dead body.
Support innovation. American made energy. Oil and gas exploration! OMG, he is sounding like a conservative now! :-)
"American oil production is the highest it has been in 8 years". Yeah, despite your best efforts.
"An all or above strategy"! He's channeling Sarah Palin now!
"Public research made shale rock extraction possible". How many Democrats voted for it?
Brian Ritterby got a job at a wind farm in Texas.
"Some companies fail. I will not walk away from workers like Brian". Unless of course they work for Solydra.
End taxpayers give away's for oil companies. Demolibs finally clap heartily....
Climate change talk coming....
We haven't acted.
"I'm directing my administration to enact clean energy to 3 million homes". What happened for three years??
Waste less energy. Channeling Carter now...
Send me a bill that creates jobs that help companies stop wasting energy. More bureaucrats needed....
Incomplete high speed internet. Looks like we need another government project. I will sign an executive order clearly the way for construction efforts. Nation building at home! Demolibs cheer! More spending, more spending on roads and highways. 1 trillion is not enough apparently.
Home values up now.
"Refinance homes to those responsible at low rates", Giethner looks pained.
"No bailouts, no handouts, no copouts". "We need smart regulations to prevent irresponsible behavior".
Slamming Bush for regulations, I enacted less than Bush. Sure, but look how painful they were. Can you say EPA?
Milk classified as oil, cry over spilled milk. A stupid like that got a few laughs. "A milk farmer can contain a milk spill without a federal agency looking over his shoulder".
But oil companies cannot clean up an oil spill.
"We're not bailing out Wall Street ever again". Consumer protection is here, frauds and confusingpolicies are now gone! Yeah right!! We have a perfect consumer system now that Richard has been hired. Attorney General go get them, go after abusive lending practices, form a new unit.
"Stop the tax hike"....
"Let's agree right now, pass the payroll tax cut, let's get it done". Over Reid's dead body....
Tax those wealthy Americans, or give up education, research and the military. "We can't pay down are debt and do both. The American people know what the right choice is". He is seriously delusional now. If you want to pay more taxes, go ahead and do it!! Send in the money....
The Buffet Rule, here we go again. I used to respect Buffet, now I despise the guy...
2158- I can't listen any more, it's too ridiculous and nonsensical. He sounds like an utter fool creating red herring arguments and arguing against them.... |
