The State of the Union
Red State ^ | 1/25/2012 | Erick Erickson

Posted on 01/25/2012 4:50:33 AM PST by IbJensen

There need not be 7000 words, the length of the President’s speech, to break it down for you.

John F. Kennedy said, “Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.”

Barack Obama’s State of the Union is all about letting you know that government is going to do everything for you and when it can’t keep its promises, it will take from the successful and give to you.

1000 days without the Democrats passing a budget, the President never really even brought it up last night. Then there’s healthcare. The President spent two sentences – a mere 44 words – talking about his greatest legacy, now headed before the Supreme Court, 5 justices from which sat in front of him last night. The first reference didn’t come until 39 minutes into his speech. I thought he was proud of it.

The first half of his speech was about centralized power in Washington and the second half was about devolving power to the states and deregulation — trying to be all things to all people. But his actual proposals were one size fits all federal fiat with sops to unionization and swing states. He must be really worried about North Carolina given how many shout outs that state got.

President Obama, in his State of the Union address, was light on the details of his laundry list, but at essence embraced the title of Food Stamp President that Newt Gingrich has given him. He wants a public and business community dependent on Washington. He wants a devalued high school diploma and an over valued college degree priced out of reach of the average person except through government run programs and subsidies.

The happy class warrior is off to ensure fairness not at the starting line, but by punishing those who cross the finish line first or with more. But “teachers matter”, he got Osama Bin Laden, and kids won’t be able to drop out of school anymore — they’ll just clog the system.

So there is that.

Obozo is not only a pathetic and dangerous agent ensconsed in the White Hut, but is the worst danger to confront America.

So, be a sport. Give the lop-eared nutcase another four years to complete his homicide on America with the help of his accomplices in Congress and the 850 staffers that are headquartered in the White Hut.

IT SUCKS!
unemployment higher under Obama
gas higher under Obama
credit rating down under Obama

There. Took about 30 seconds to define the current State of the Union under Obama.

Every day that the Marxist/Muslim is in office brings us closer to ruin.
He MUST be defeated.

The country’s in a foul mood. We are angry, and worse, we are afraid.

Obama’s State of the Union speech did nothing to allay the fear, on the contrary, he’s promising more of the same things that now make us very afraid.

When people are afraid, they are much more predictable. When people are afraid, they are capable of, for example, voting against someone they like, and for someone they feel will allay their fear.

Our fear is born of the financial apocalypse we see in our future.

Whether blacks turn out for him or not is irrelevant, I believe they won’t.

Obama’s biggest problem is not his base, blacks, or independents, his problem is the female voter. They voted for him in 2008 because they felt he would protect them. They feel vulnerable now. Obama cannot win without the female vote. The story of the election will be how women abandoned a Democrat.

Why? Because women always ditch the pretty boy for the street-fighting gunslinger when they perceive that chaos looms. Biology is at work here, not politics.

That’s why Newt Gingrich will win, and why Barack Obama will lose in November.

But —but—but—he kept getting standing ovations at the speech.

Were those who were there listening?

I'm NOT a doomsday prophet, but I have come to believe that until the USA hits rock bottom, God is going to allow Obama and his ilk free reign.

This country needs to fall on its knees and repent post haste.
