President Obama is expected to call for increased spending on R&D and infrastructure during Tuesday's State of the Union address, according to reports.
The president is also expected to call for a decrease in corporate tax rates as part of his recent pro-business offensive that has already seen the appointments of executives William Daley and Jeffrey Immelt to senior advisory roles, and a promise to reduce onerous regulations. (See: Obama Shows His True Colors ... and They're (Still) PRO-Business)
But talk is cheap and Peter Schiff, president of Euro Pacific Capital, says President Obama is "clueless" about what the economy really needs.

Funny, we were just talking about Obama being clueless this morning.
If this is news, you haven’t been paying attention.
Valerie Jarrett was on Fox and Friends this morning, lying her ass off. These people have no shame at all. Immelt is an absolute failure. Schiff is exactly right about this guy. The looters will have a field day....
Obama is not clueless. He just doesn’t give chit what the rest of America wants or has to say.
And they've suckered the repubs into an evening of kumbaya.
I'm going to politely disagree.
I believe that 0bama is as dumb as a bag of hammers.
The only reason GE is still up and running is because of government bailouts. Yea, Immelt is a business genius....NOT I wouldn’t want him running my kids lemon aid stand.
Those are almost the exact same words used to characterize the stimulus bill when O was pushing it. Of course it turned out to be nothing of the sort.
“The looters will have a field day....
And they’ve suckered the repubs into an evening of kumbaya.”
Which is why I refuse to watch the damned thing. What a waste of time.
Peter Schiff is NO ECONOMIC GENIUS as he claims, and many of his predictions are totally bogus!

“ For one, Mike Shedlock of Mishs Global Economic Trend Analysis gave an incredibly detailed review of Schiffs track record in an article titled, Peter Schiff was Wrong. To get a little flavor of the piece, here is an excerpt:
12 Ways Schiff Was Wrong in 2008
Wrong about hyperinflation
Wrong about the dollar
Wrong about commodities except for gold
Wrong about foreign currencies except for the Yen
Wrong about foreign equities
Wrong in timing
Wrong in risk management
Wrong in buy and hold thesis
Wrong on decoupling
Wrong on China
Wrong on US treasuries
Wrong on interest rates, both foreign and domestic”

” Now, had you listened to Peter in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 or even 3/4 of 2007, you lost your shirt. Had you placed bets based on Schiff’s market calls, you lost everything you wagered.
The S&P (.INX) went from 1054 in May of 2002 (the date of the interview) to 1561 in Oct. 2007, a 48% gain and the Dow (.DJI) rose 40%.
Banking stocks, the primary victim of the housing bust, went up (JP Morgan (JPM) 36%, Bank of America (BAC) 41%, Wells Fargo (WFC) 39% , Wachovia (WB) 31% and American Express (AXP) 51%) during that time frame (dividends excluded which would dramatically add to results). “”
ECON 101
When you invest in the firm that is the economic competitor to your own family, and your family does poorly, and their competitor does well, and you KEEP investing in your familys competitor, YOU ARE PUTTING YOUR FAMILY OUT OF WORK!
Schiff doesnt invest a SINGLE PENNY in AMERICA!!!
pro-immigration and said that there are too many jobs in the US we NEED to let in immigrants???
Peter Schiff admits on camera that he has ZERO money investigated in American corporations or industry. If Peter Schiff refuses to invest in American companies, how can Peter Schiff say he is helping Americans keep their jobs?
This is SCHIFF in his own words!

Peter Schiff repeating talking points of the lunatic left, listen yourself. He says in 2009 that Iraq is a QUAGMIRE when we already won!! He blames the war on bankers and whoever, and not a word about blaming it on terrorists! listen yourself, Schiff repeats left wing talking points to his radio audience about the Iraq war!

That may be true but he's hit the nail firmly on the head about 0bama and Immelt.
I'm with you. Won't watch. Will wait for Rush's analysis tomorrow.
BTW, I just got off the phone with Senator DeMint's office in DC. I asked the simple question: Will Senator DeMint be sitting with the dems tonight? The nice young lady on the other end of the line said that she didn't have that information. Hmmmmmm..........
Any better than me or you??
Yeah. He gets a bigger audience.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!
I’m suprised that a guy who ran Law Review at Harvard and couldn’t even
get one peer-reviewed publication actually knows what “R&D” is.
Someday we’re going to find out this President was just a sock-puppet.

The whole seating thing just disgusts me. How could they cave on that? Big dummies. Why be afraid to show your numbers??
