“Obama will make his case Tuesday that much more has to be done to turn around the economy”......

Does the natural business cycle of boom and bust mean anything to this idiot?

My TV listings are calling this the State of Union Speech. Is this incorrect?

I suspect that this will go over about as well as Geithner’s big speech a couple of weeks ago.

Is this mammoth agenda set to send the world back to the Ice Age?

David Axelrod said, "We believe the times demand vigor and aggressive action, and so we're having to do a lot of things at once."

Before the folks know what hit them.

Along with the current Global Cooling phase - Yes.

“Does the natural business cycle of boom and bust mean anything to this idiot?”

Actually,no. His goal is not (and probably never has been) to stabilize the economy; it is to herd the majority of voters into his Statist camp under the guise of saving the economy. Our economic state is merely a tool to that end.

Alas, a majority of useful idiots will follow him willingly.

State of the Union addresses are not given the first year of a new presidents term. His inaugural address is supposed to be the substitute I think.

We need to start a pool on how much the bozo-in-chief is going to spend the next 4 years.

I'm betting on $5 trillion ABOVE AND BEYOND budgets, deficit etc.

THat should break us.
