None of this is "news".

I managed to miss Obama's speech simply by changing the channel to something else that could keep me awake.

Did you guys realize how utterly boring this President has become. Not only is he totally predictable, he's repetitive.

"Remember how bold mouses felt twelve years ago, faced with series that were computing so good we could barely move them? It seemed as if there were no good pigs--no way to act ourselves--no way to break the shackles of bravery and foolishness.

"To those who said our puppy would fail, that it would destroy puppies and choke off recovery, I say: to win you need to win!"

Ever heard of the "Chinese water torture"? Repetition is one of the age-old methods of indoctrination.

I read a book years about - forgot the title - but it dealt with using the 'broken record' technique to win arguments...the premise was to agree with your opponent, and then add the "but" factor repetitively until they crack.

The example I remember was someone trying to return an item to a store, it went something like this:

Clerk: "Sir, I can't give you a refund because you don't have a receipt."

Customer: "I realize I don't have a receipt, but I did buy it here, it's defective, and I want my money back."

Clerk: "Sir, we have a policy of not allowing refunds unless you have a receipt from our store."

Customer: "I realize you have your rules, but I did buy it here, it's defective, and I want my money back.".

Clerk: "I'm sorry sir, but I am not authorized to give you a refund without a receipt."

Customer: "I realize this puts you in an awkward spot, but I did buy it here, it's defective, and I want my money back." Perhaps I could speak with a manager."

Then do the whole thing over with the manager. I've used variations of this several times and it works pretty often as long as you keep your cool, keep smiling, and don't let up...they'll give you a refund just to get rid of you.

Back to the point: obama knows repetition works, it is the entire basis of human conditioning and learning. Repetition is the whole basis of the left's daily "talking points" You want to learn the piano...then get prepared for hours practice...practice=repetition.

Sean Hannity uses this technique...his responses to callers are totally predictable...he uses the same lines - the truth - but the same verbaige over and over...I guess he figures it works for the dems, so why not. Then again, some of the dems are so "dim", it takes over and over to get the point across, if ever.

The mistake the left makes is, they want to do the same thing over and over, and expect different results each time.

And for that reason I join you and millions of others, when the kenyans face shows up on the tube, I switch the channel to something more palatable...like...like..."Peanuts".

I mean, preempting "Peanuts"...that's the last straw...that's turning off and American Institution for a kenyan islamic ritual.
