Just As I Thought...

28 January 2010

…I found myself watching the State of the Union address from Obama last night. I did not watch the whole thing as mercifully I missed half of it as I was making my way home from work.

In many cases, when Obama speaks, I rather check out the transcripts of what he says, as I considered his approach to public speaking to be offensive in its arrogance. Obama appears to be talking from a self-assured position of superiority that is definitely not appreciated. But I digress.

But I was drawn to actually watch the end of the speech, drawn by a dual sense of anger and amusement at the spectacle put out by the multitude of imbeciles assembled in that chamber.
With the exception of some of those from the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Marine Corps Commandant, some of the Supreme Court Justices and few of the Congress members, the rest of reminded me of a “Den of Thieves” with the Thief in Chief talking. The amusement was greatly enhanced by the jack-in-the-box Pelosi jumping up and down like a terrifying clown, trying to drag the ever dumb ass Biden to perform the “wave” for the One.

The visual was amusing, including Harry Reid falling asleep and Janet Napolitano taking a nap. And Justice Alito muttering the words “It’s not true” after the TiC scolded the Supreme Court for their last week decision to re-dimension McCain-Feingold campaign financing law. Where is Joe Wilson when you need him!

Even after reading most of the transcripts from the speech, I have come to the conclusion that what Obama said really does not mean much as there was nothing worth commenting on, reason being that there is nothing in his words that can actually be taken seriously by any of the American people. Everything he says is one thing today and he does something tomorrow. The whole speech, as I see it, was a campaign speech of a narcissistic megalomaniac, who, again contrary to protocol, mentioned the pronoun “I” almost 100 times in the course of a 90 minutes address.

So what did I take from Obama self-fest? Policy wise, nothing. Personally, it reinforced my belief that everything this man proposes has to be defeated for the benefit of an entire Nation.
I also realized that Obama has not learnt anything from the message the American people have sent him and his cronies via the Virginia elections, the Massachusetts elections, the New Jersey elections and the loud and clear message the American people sent last Summer at the town hall meetings.

He is going to march on with the policies that have generated so much anger and rejection on the part of the people, from Obamacare to Cap and Trade to additional stimulus money he wants to dump into an economy that is increasingly approaching meltdown. He spoke of a small business in Arizona that tripled its work force thanks to the stimulus bill already passed, but of course did not mention that the over $90 million gone to that business generated a whole 45 jobs. What a bargain!

He addressed the joblessness issue, responding to the public increased belligerence toward an increasing unemployment rate. His idea of tackling unemployment is to have the Government create jobs: green and governmental jobs.

The bulk of the speech was just a “blame it of Bush” fest, attack the Republicans fest, attack the Supreme Court fest, all well coordinated and endorsed by the multitude of Congressional Democrats who, while jumping up and down like Pelosi, are abandoning the Liberal ship like rats as they eye the November elections and the increasing prospect of being fired.

What was missing from the speech was any serious mention of the current war on terror, no mention of events like the Ft. Hood massacre or the failed Christmas bombing, no mention of Gitmo and Obama failure to close it (thankfully).
Also missing was any mention of the treatment of enemy combatants in civilian courts, as the position he and Holder have taken on that issue is unsustainable one, even for the teleprompter.

Ultimately, the speech was just another example of the lies and deceptions Obama is a master at. A lot of fancy wording, fairly well delivered (although the SOTU address was sub par for him) aimed at clouding the clear thinking of those who still support him for whatever reason. A lot of confusing arrogance that really makes no inroad with those Americans who are all too aware of the damage he is trying to bring upon our country.
There was one infuriating moment in the speech and it was when Obama mentioned how he brought the war in Iraq to an end. Besides the fact that by the time he entered the Oval Office, Bush’s policy of troop surge and of reconstruction had taken hold and was succeeding, it was not Obama, nor Bush, that brought the war to an end, but it was the imagination and resilience of the American Military that brought the war in Iraq to a victorious conclusion.
But the concept of a victory in Iraq is too much for the man to swallow. Obama taking credit for a successful campaign he and his ilk tried so hard to undermine, is insulting to all those who fought in Iraq and especially the wounded and the families of those who did not come back.

And these are my thoughts!
