To those of you who had the stomach strong enough to watch snake oil show last night,more power to you. As I read elsewhere this morning,I didn’t watch the Kenyan for the same reason I don’t shove porcupines up my butt… it’s an incredibly stupid thing to do. There are plenty of videos today since mere words cannot do justice to the rank hypocrisy and blatant lies that flew like snowflakes in a blizzard.
John Fund summed it up pretty succinctly:
Obama’s ‘Free Stuff for Everyone’ Speech
By John Fund
A pollster at last week’s GOP congressional retreat summarized the proposals President Obama is making tonight as “free stuff for everyone.” Indeed, on everything from enhanced child-care tax credits to free community college the president was in a Santa Claus kind of mood in this month after Christmas. All of the proposals enjoy majority support in polls — although that support tends to fall after people weigh the price tag.
Take paid sick leave. Obama mentioned that wherever the issue was on the ballot this fall it passed when people voted on it. But he was careful not to mention that the only state where it was on the ballot was Massachusetts. Yes, the state that hasn’t sent a single Republican to the U.S. House in 20 years and consistently votes Democratic for president by about ten points more than the rest of the country. Question 4, the Massachusetts ballot measure that mandated paid sick leave in the state, did pass but with only 60 percent of the vote — meaning that after a real debate the issue might be an even split nationwide.
Republicans need to make a sustained argument that paid sick leave is yet another mandate on small- and medium-sized businesses that they can ill afford just as they are being buffeted by the gales of Obamacare.

Pumping his arms, pointing his finger and firing verbal volleys: Obama’s aggressive body language in State of the Union speech shows Republicans he means business
Obama’s body language avoided impression balance of power has shifted
He gave his State of the Union address to Republican-controlled Congress
But he refrained from being conciliatory with defiant gestures and barbs
Contained within his speech were a host of threats to use veto powers
He never has nor ever will truck any opposition to his world view from his perch in his little fiefdom.

Liberal Icon Keith Olbermann Mocks Joni Ernst for Growing Up Poor
Olbermann fired off ten tweets in a row mocking Ersnt after her speech, some with the hashtag #SOTUresponse, cribbed from the Monty Python sketch The Four Yorkshiremen.
“Of course, we had it tough. We lived for three months in a paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six in the morning…”
“We used to have to get up at six in the morning, clean the paper bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down t’ mill, fourteen hours…”
“Luxury. We used to have to get out of the lake at six o’clock in the morning, clean the lake, eat a handful of hot gravel, work 20 hours…”
“…come home, and Dad would thrash us to sleep with a broken bottle — if we were lucky! #SOTUresponse”
Olbermann’s line, “Thank you for listening and keep your feet wrapped,” came from his own impoverished mind.
Olbermann grew up in comfort in a rich, lily-white town of Hastings-on-Hudson in Westchester County, New York, according to Wikipedia.

I’ve served in Congress with many of you. I know many of you well. There are a lot of good people here, on both sides of the aisle.

Speech ends, donation pitch immediately goes out:
“I hope you’re excited about the agenda I laid out tonight for 2015,” Obama’s email read.

Obama Says SOTU Is Strong – Frank Luntz Focus Group Doesn’t Buy It (Video)
Barack Obama opened his SOTU Address tonight saying the State of the Union is strong.
Tonight, for the first time since 9/11, our combat mission in Afghanistan is over. Six years ago, nearly 180,000 American troops served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Today, fewer than 15,000 remain. And we salute the courage and sacrifice of every man and woman in this 9/11 Generation who has served to keep us safe. We are humbled and grateful for your service.
America, for all that we’ve endured; for all the grit and hard work required to come back; for all the tasks that lie ahead, know this:
The shadow of crisis has passed, and the State of the Union is strong.
Nobody believed it.
A Frank Luntz FOX News focus group of both Democrats and Republicans didn’t buy it.

On Tuesday night, in his State of the Union Address, Obama said that legalization of same-sex marriage in the United States is one of the things he has seen that represents “America at its best.”
