I missed the middle section of Obama's State of the Union address when I took a break to read "War and Peace," but I gather he never got around to what I was hoping he'd say, which is: "What was I thinking?"
The national debt is $14 trillion, the Democrats won't stop spending, and President Nero gave us a long gaseous speech about his Stradivarius.
I feel so Southern whenever I watch a Democrat give a State of the Union address -- and not just because it makes me want to secede. Consternating the rest of the family, my Kentucky mother always talked back to the TV. I do it only when a Democrat is giving a speech.
And if liberals didn't like Samuel Alito mouthing the words "not true," they should be really happy I wasn't in the House chamber Tuesday night.
All I kept hearing was, "Ann pays more." That's all I ever I hear when Democrats start in with all that "investing."
Apparently the government will be "investing" in education, "investing" in technology, "investing" in roads and "investing" in lots and lots of government workers. Ann pays more, Ann pays more, Ann pays more.
Obama compared "investing" in education to our sending a man to the moon after the Russians launched Sputnik. Say, who was the president who recently gutted spending on NASA? Oh yes, that was Obama.
So he reminded us of the glory days of the space program, but now he's taking that money and funneling it to public school teachers. As the Democrats say: "If we can put a man on the moon, why can't we hire another 10,000 public school teachers?"
Also, solar panels. Obama said the government was already "investing" in solar panels! That's a total relief. This must be how the president who brought us "Recovery Summer" is going to dig us out of the second Great Depression.
But I do wonder why no private lender considered solar panels a wise investment, forcing solar panel manufacturers to turn to the government for loans, followed by endless tax credits just to break even.
I guess people who work for the government are just smarter. We're so lucky to have them "investing" our money for us! Boy, egg must be on Warren Buffett's face!
Remember how massive government "investments" gave rise to the telephone, the light bulb, the automobile, the airplane, the personal computer ... OK, none of those.
But massive government expenditures did give us Amtrak and the TSA!
The only thing Obama vowed to cut were "earmarks." Yippee! The guy with the ears is against earmarks. Yes, the same president who quadrupled our deficit by giving money away to his UAW pals, Wall Street cronies and government workers is now lecturing us about earmarks. This is a bit like being scolded by Charlie Sheen for ordering a second wine cooler.
You knew it was bad when John McCain leapt up and enthusiastically applauded. The last time I saw McCain applaud Obama like that was when he debated him.
Synthesizing Karl Marx and Ronald Reagan, Obama said the government will soon be taking over every aspect of our lives, and Republicans can't stop him -- but gosh, isn't America a great country!Read the rest at AnnCoulter.Com
Teachers are great, we need to innovate, children are our future, we need paved roads, kids should do their homework, Labrador puppies are cute, I like apple pie, I (heart) Justin Bieber, and how about them Yankees! Now, here's your 2011 tax bill -- how would you like to pay for that?Paper or plastic?
I could have read about three or four more pages like that. What a wit!!! Go Ann!
Annie is SO funny, what a wit she has, LOL
This is classic:
Obama said, "We are the nation that put cars in driveways and computers in offices; the nation of Edison and the Wright brothers; of Google and Facebook."
And then the government outlawed Edison's great invention, made the Wright brothers' air travel insufferable, filed anti-trust charges against Microsoft and made cars too expensive to drive by prohibiting oil exploration, and right now -- at this very minute -- is desperately trying to regulate the Internet.
I don’t feel slighted.
That will leave a mark.
Ann Coulter has hit the nail squarely on the head once again.
In my opinion, the SOTU speech was more than a lot of BHO's typical fluff, it's a huge red warning sign of what's on the horizon.
The libs created the huge problem and have done a terrible disservice to America in Education. Once again, they believe that throwing more money at the problem will fix it.

Yes, this column ranks among the best.
It was Obama spelling out his agenda, he's always campaigning.
He started his campaign recently in Chicago, and is expecting to raise 1 billion bucks to buy/cheat/lie his way in office again.
Perfect Syncro! Also it would make a fine title for a new book from Ann Coulter. :-)
Agree.
Agree again, Syncro. Anyone who doesn't realize that apparently weren't listening very carefully.
Fabulous!! Love Ann Coulter. Has more balls than past and present Presidents.
Another great one from Ann, but really, O-Blunder just provides so much low hanging fruit for ammo.
And in his SOTU he didn't take any time at all to use the same situation to further his agenda.
He has no soul.
They don't really believe that at all. It's just an excuse to spend us into the poor house while funneling funds to his liberal cronies.
Good point. His campaigning has never stopped.
