The State of the Union Address

Well what can I say about yet another Obama state of the union address? Honestly it was another pointless speech that did nothing but raise my blood pressure and make me sick. That sort of happens to me when I listen to this president do nothing but say what I want to hear mixed with countless lies. The mid-terms elections did send a message to Obama without a doubt, however it wasn’t the message we intended him to get. Instead the message he heard was that he should change his tone slightly to look more bi-partisan. To be more sneaky about how he pushes his agenda through. That’s exactly what we got last night.

Even though he wrapped up the speech with an impressive tone of patriotism in a sense talking about he small Pennsylvania company that helped the miners trapped in South America, talked about freedom, and even seemed to joyously yell God bless America at the end the rest f the speech was a pack of code words and lies. He understands we need to create jobs and we need to cut the budget, but reading between the lines of the speech one can easily see that he is not taking the two issues seriously. Let’s build bullet trains huh? Kind of reminds you of last year with all the shovel ready jobs that didn’t do a damn thing to help unemployment in this country. His blind pursuit of this so called bullet train system and green jobs research is leading us down a spending path that will do nothing but work against any attempts to reduce the deficit.

While we are at it let’s talk about the popular code word of the day it seems. Investments. Investments in our future, investments in America. Sounds a lot like a new stimulus to me doesn’t it. I would love to have the chance to be there in the aisle and stop Obama as he walked by and ask him plainly “You really think American’s are going to believe that bullshit?” Okay it is possible that there are a group of ignorant mindless sheep in American today that actually do believe everything this president says, but I do honestly believe that the majority in America sees right through the lies and deceit. It is clear that Obama and his progressive cronies that slither around the streets of Washington DC are going to fight for their vision of big government and massive spending. Oh sure they will cut here and there, but nothing that counts. I’m not sure if it was in the speech itself or if it was in an article I read afterwards, but it stated that Obama understood the importance of reduced spending and making funding cuts. That at times it would hurt, but we couldn’t have it hurt too much. Well Mr. President and your fellow cronies what about the average American. What about the parents that have to look into their children’s disappointed faces when they can buy them something small they wanted or even their favorite snack food for the week. Do you now what it feels like to say to a child sorry we don’t have the money this week maybe next week? Mr. President do you know what it is like to ration your own portion of dinner out so your kids could have just alittle more to eat? Do you even have any idea what it is like to be the average American in today’s economy…a bad economic situation that you may not have started but sure as hell have done nothing to help it only plunge us deeper in the hole!

They have no clue what it is like for the average American. Spending must be cut not just to save money, but to save America. Surly someone that has the IQ he claims to have and is the egomaniac he sets himself up to be must see the warning signs. He must see the potential danger we are in and that our future is so close to becoming that the ancient Romans and the ancient Greeks faced. They saw their empires crumble and fall and that is exactly the future we face today. Call me paranoid or crazy if you want, but someone has to take a stand and say it plain and simple. I suspect that within the next ten years (quite possibly sooner) if our government doesn’t shrink it’s size and seriously slash it’s spending drastically like Michael Myers does to a teenager on Halloween night then we will see the fall of America. We will be done and then what countries like China will come in and pick up the pieces. You may say that no that cannot happen to America! Well I ask you why not? We don’t have a get out of debt free card. In reality we have walked the exact path of all those other nations before us that saw their governments and countries fall. Huge central governments, massive so-called entitlements, and unsustainable national debts. All triggers to collapse of a nation. That future is not set in stone, but unless our elected officials stand up and seriously change things and make deep cuts in government size and spending then yes that is our fate.

Obviously for me the president’s address did nothing to comfort me. I really tried…I did. I looked for positives in the speech and looked to see a glimmer of hope. Instead my fears were just reconfirmed. Unfortunately lies and deceit is what I have come to expect from this president and his progressive cronies. Oh well I should have watched M.A.S.H. re-runs instead.
