There is good news and bad news: The good news is that President Obama is consistent; the bad news is that he is consistently wrong. Once again—as he has before—he filled his State of the Union address with rhetoric designed to gull the gullible by saying things that sound compassionate and wise and reasonable to those who don’t bother to pause and reflect on what he said.
Clearly bent on breaking the 2011 sequester agreement that would cut federal spending, the president warned that “These sudden, harsh, arbitrary cuts … would slow our recovery, and … are a really bad idea.” This is—ahem—inaccurate. How could such cuts be considered “sudden” or “arbitrary” if Congress and the president have had nearly a year and a half to prepare for such an eventuality? When the president goes on to say a few paragraphs later, “we can’t just cut our way to prosperity,” the implicit message is that a society needs Big Government in order to prosper economically, when the entire history of the 20th century proves the opposite (e.g., Harding’s spending cuts in 1921, as discussed in last week’s column).
The president’s earnest assertion that Medicare requires “modest reforms” is as disingenuous as his statements over the past few years that the key to our trillion-dollar budget deficits is to get the rich to pay “a little more.” Sorry, but the numbers don’t add up. In both cases, the problems cited by the president will require far more significant action than the president is willing to admit.
Indeed, the president strayed into dreamland when he proposed to lower healthcare costs by having patients billed based on “quality of care” (How many lawyers will it take to figure out how you measure that?)...

This guy is living in dreamland and no one in the MSM is calling him on it. Nothing he did for the last five years has worked, he want to do more, and no one in the MSM is calling him on it.

“Obama’s State Of The Union Was Well Designed To Gull The Gullible”
And it worked once again on the majority of those who voted for hussein and who should have been weeded out of the gene pool long ago. You can’t fix stupid.
Forget about the MSM! They are Puppets for Obamanation!
It is the RINOs who we should be pressuring!
RINOs paid to be the Check and Balance!
We elect them to Check and Balance and they just “Hear no evil, say no evil, and see no evil.”
The inescapable conclusion is that RINOs ARE evil !
My one unrealizable dream is to make stupidity painful.
I remember when big mouth Mark White ran for governor of Texas. One of the issues he ran on was an increase in electric rates. He went around saying “I don’t believe seniors should have to pay higher electric bills.” After he was elected he said “Well, the governor really doesn’t have any say about that.”
Republicans should run the same way. They don’t have to promise anything. Just say stuff like “We believe it would Be wonderful if anyone making less than $50,000 didn’t have to pay ANY taxes.” And “We believe the government should pay single mothers $5,000 a month for each child.” Then after they win they can say “It IS want we believe. But it won’t work.”
Obama thinks the population should be gulled;
Obama thinks the population should be culled.
Progressively compliant
(Part communist, part pliant)
Obama thinks the Bill of Rights should be annulled.
The idiots that voted him in are not even thinging about it any more.
They just believe what Satan Claus says.
Gullible = Media & Friends
