Result of State of Union speech: Dems base got slightly more enthusiastic; Republicans and Independents didn't move at all.

Bottom line: The magic is gone. The speech was a loser.

(P.S., I *heart* Justice Alito. He spoke for me.)

I wouldn't believe Soetoro if he claimed the sun rises in the East.

This SOTU address was a bad campaign speech at best. His phony spending freeze and "targeted tax cuts" have been tried before and always fail. If you're going to freeze the budget it needs to be real, not smoke and mirrors. You need to cut entitlements, dissolve certain departments (Education, energy and the EPA come to mind). Then you need to give an ACROSS THE BOARD tax cup. Don't just tinker with the tax tables so people have to pay it back come April 15th.

He spoke for me too.

I know he said "not true" but in his heart it was "YOU LIE!!"

I think this level of disbelief in anything the President says is incredible for a first year.

I don’t think this kind of disbelief has ever happened before.

In other words the general public is saying ‘you lie’.

“just 21% of voters nationwide believe that taxes have been cut for 95% of Americans...and 26% are not sure.”

That must be from the 47% of Americans that never paid taxes in the first place.

“Most (53%) say it has not happened,”

This is from the people that actually make enough to pay taxes in the first place.

“As for the claim about two million jobs, 46% of Democrats say it’s true”

If anyone replied that is “true”, Rasmussen should make them fax in the calculations of the 2MM and supporting documentation.

Was there a line for “It’s a crock!”?

He got his post-speech bump. Rasmussen has the jerk at minus 12 today.

Bottom line from my first two pay stubs of the year is that the new tables for withholding federal income tax mean more coming out of my pay.

My federal income tax is up five dollars a week.

Obama means a tax increase for me.

You can't win back lost trust.

Obama lies and then lies to cover up his lies. He is slowly but surely losing the trust of even his most ardent supporters.

Obama is a serial liar, but unlike Bill Clinton, he is not a very good liar.

There were no tax cuts. All that changed was withholding. We are all paying back those “tax cuts.”

I think, like Rep. Joe Wilson, Justice Alito spoke for a majority of Americans.

To embattled President Obama (the victors write the history, and it's high time we started writing it):

The truth is Obama enjoys a big advantage with Democrats but the independents keep fleeing from him. Its over, folks.

*Sixty-three percent (63%) of Democrats agree with the president’s statement that the economy is growing again. Seventy percent (70%) of Republicans and 60% of unaffiliated voters disagree.

Why does this not surprise me? The moochers and Gov’t employees believe the economy is growing because for them it is. Too bad the private sector has the public sectors boot on it’s neck.
