If reelected, Obama intends to turn the USA into USSA (United SOCIALIST States of America), after even the Soviet Union figured out that socialism doesn't work, it just makes everyone poor, under the thumb of the government, while driving the country into bankruptcy.

Another article on the same topic, from Reuters:
Obama signals State of Union a campaign rallying cry
http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/01/21/us-usa-obama-speech-idUSTRE80K0JV20120121
President Barack Obama, offering a first glimpse of next week’s State of the Union address, made clear Saturday that the speech will deliver a starkly partisan election-year call for a “return to American values.”
“I’m going to lay out a blueprint for an American economy that’s built to last,” Obama said in a campaign video sent to supporters. “And most importantly, a return to American values of fairness for all, and responsibility from all.”
... “fairness for all and responsibility from all” are code words for socialism.

“fairness for all and responsibility from all
Yay! I guess that means the 47% who are not paying any taxes now will have to start paying their fair share right?
That is the same crap he said at the last state of the union and the one before.

SOTU address to lecture America on how they need to have more government in their lives.
Great timing!
Immediately following what appears to be a Gingrich win in SC and Florida vote looming large. Wwhere Newt can lambast Idi Obama with choice, wrong-headed parts of the SOTU speech and get more standing "O's" for doing so and thus take Florida.

Obamas’ State of the Union speech:
“Things really suck right now.”
Now, sit down.

The government spends $100,000 to give away $27,000 in welfare
Private charities could help 4 times as many people for that same $100,000

Good point. Privatization of welfare/charity managed at the local level would be cheaper and more effective.
However, the government, and particularly one party, will never surrender control of entitlements until they bankrupt us or send out thousand dollar notes that won’t fill a gas tank.
The inevitable failures our founding father’s understood.

...to define an activist role for government in promoting a prosperous and equitable society...
Governmental 'activism' from the executive branch is nothing less than tyranny. The latest proof being the dictator Obama's orders that all health insurers must provide FREE contraception...

...Mr. Obama will call for changing the corporate and individual income-tax codes so the wealthy pay more, both to finance government investments and to alleviate the rise in income inequality in recent years. While he rakes in a billion dollars for a losing proposition for reelection.

If they had any REAL stones, they would decree that teleprompters are hereby banned from the House chamber.
Let's see Obummer the Brilliant try to deliver his SOU from memory! Or from a printed page!
Seriously ... doesn't Boehner control what happens in HIS chamber? Couldn't he could do this?

Idi Obama! LOL! That’s a good one and, unfortunately, true.
I’ve had it with this communist liar. 86% of the “rich” are self made. If the so-called “poor” would get off their dead asses and work, stop having babies when they’re single, and stop blaming the white man for their problems, they would have some economic success, too.
