Obama's Doubly Deceitful SOTU

It was an otherworldly experience to watch President Obama delivering his State of the Union speech. Even after watching him for seven years, I can't decide who the primary victim of his deceit is, him or us.

Is it even possible for this guy to extricate himself from campaign mode? Is there ever a time when he's not puffing his product? His incessant salesmanship would be bad enough if he truly had a stellar record.

If we give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he is just self-deceived, then the culprits are probably his blinding ideology and his narcissism.

His ideology compels him to believe that his policies are working even when they're not, because even objective evidence demonstrating otherwise doesn't seem to register with him. And narcissism surely accounts for his navel-gazing tunnel vision that fools him into believing he's a bipartisan conciliator.

For him to hold himself out as a uniter and effusively praise himself for his economic and foreign policy record is surreal.

For years, we have heard his bipartisan rhetoric in one breath and, in the next, his threat that it will be his way or the highway. What honest and self-aware person could say he is ready to work with Republicans while blasting them as paid partisan hacks and threatening to veto anything they send to him that doesn't fully embrace his own imperial demands?

It's far easier for me to understand his dogmatism than to get my mind around his holding himself out as a uniter in the midst of it. It's either the highest form of sophisticated deceit (involving the lowest form of cynicism) or an alarming case of his residing in an impenetrable bubble where he hears only himself and those who agree with him.

Obama is caught in the “all good Scotsmen fallacy”

All good Americans agree with Obama.

JimSEA doesn’t agree with Obama.

JimSEA isn’t a good American.

Limbaugh has got it just half right. What was worse than that Obama 2015 STOU. Was the direction taken by the GOPES .Not one of those half dozen so called rebuttals made after the speech by the “Republicans” dealt with, nor dared to, itemize or even chatacterize those statements as lies. And it as appears those MSM hailed replys went uncriticiized here in FR in too many postings.

The GOPES leadership (gop elite statists) learned nothing from 2012.They still seek approval from the media propaganda appar-rats which whey will never get. Believe winning political opposition strategy consists of their approach which is the use of “stand for status quo” “we can fix the bad stuff” with republican cum-by ya” will win in 2016. And not the defence of the constitution or of conservative values.

Do the GOPES actually believe they can attract disaffected dems and together we can continue on with big government merry way happily feeding off the government trough with a new UNI Party ? It seems that this is the direction they’re taking.

When what they should begin by asking the question why does the democrat (In name only, and GOPES fail to use many eamples to point that out) lie so much ? Is because they don’t believe in there is such a thing as sin because they can’t refer to God which they threw out in their 2012 convention. Hence any reference to the constitution which has that refence to HIM all over the place. Because it doesn’t fit their socialist collective agenda let alone be restricted and rule by such a constitution which references The Creator.
