Obama’s speech, for which he called for a joint session of congress, will be a reelection speech, with calls for higher taxes on the “rich”, more spending and scolding the tea party, with maybe a “Bush’s fault” type statement thrown in to boot.
I won’t watch it but will read reports on it. Seeing and/or hearing him any more brings me close to the point of being physically ill, I just don’t have the stomach for it any more. Perhaps it’s my age or perhaps it’s that I hate socialism/communism so much.
You are not alone. I cannot stomach his voice. His ‘speeches’ evoke a visceral reaction from me..and it isn’t pretty.
Good time to clean the cat box.
Back during the campaign, baraq would mock his critics with the words “Just words, Just speeches” implying that his critics think he is just an empty suit. Hannity used to play the sound bite of baraq saying that phrase to make the same point. Turned out to be right.
Obama will indeed give a campaign speech indelicately tarted up to sound like a policy address. He will refer to himself in the first person at least 30 times, and perhaps many more than that.
He will pretend to take a lofty, above-the-battle stance by urging unnamed "others" in Congress to put country above "partisanship", by which we will know he means for Republicans and Tea Party members to sacrifice their principles to his demands.
He will call for "shared sacrifice", by which we will know he means higher taxes on those already paying the lion's share of them.
He will speak of making "investments" in America to help those he refers to as "the middle class and working families", by which we will understand him to mean new government programs and spending on make-work jobs for unionized trades.
He will aver (yet again) how hard he is working for "us" and complain (yet again) how difficult is his job getting the country out of the metaphorical ditch that "they" metaphorically drove us into, and how he could succeed if only "they" stopped hampering his efforts.
And Obama will do all of the above while looking left, looking right, nose in the air, eyes slightly closed but just wide enough to follow the words crawling on his magic screens. Democrats will stand and cheer. Republicans will grimace and sit on their hands.
So, tell me why any of us really need to watch the same crap we've been watching for three years now?
Empty, Stupid, Happy-talk is not policy.
His speech’s even tire him out.
After each one he needs another vacation.
He vacations while we try to pay the bills.
I wish I could afford to take a private and jet on down to Bali in November.Then of course the regular Hawaiin Christmas, where he-—a Christian-—Misses Mass.
must we yet again be exposed to Republicans politely sitting there, being insulted and derided, even occasionally applauding the rhetoric of this empty suit, out of “respect”?
I wish “flu” wuld strike the GOP lawmakers about an hour before this dogless pony show
For Zero, the time for empty talk is never over. It’s all he has.
better yet, the first time this guy tries to blame the republicans or tea party, the pubs should stand up, as a group, and walk out...THAT would be a statement..
the limp dorks are too afraid of being called “rasist” to even roll their eyes
bet on it
this is how despots stay in power - intimidation, spinelessness of men who should be standing up
I fear the American people are banking far too much on free elections in 2012 to resolve this
He will aver (yet again) how hard he is working for "us" and complain (yet again) how difficult is his job getting the country out of the metaphorical ditch that "they" metaphorically drove us into, and how he could succeed if only "they" stopped hampering his efforts
People do not like to hear him whine about his problems while they are hurting.
I love Rush, but I must say his brother writes
extremely well. Concise, to the point, I would
like to see them together tearing apart the
strawmen of this wreck of an administration
some day.
I think that people are beginning to wake up to the realization that Obama substantially views the American people as a means to his ends, and that he becomes annoyed when some of us fail to appreciate his superiority.
How about going all Joe Wilson on him? Everyone shout "you lie" every time he does?
all we need to do is set up a wind turbine on the front lawn of the white house. it will generate enough power to run the white house pelosi’s office reed’s office, the epa admin building, al gore’s office, dept of ed building, and fema office.
yeah- and set up a biomass facility under the US Capitol to operate on what comes down the plumbing
Maybe a small unit would fit into the parking space where Charlie Rangel keeps his mercedes
“Obama substantially views the American people as a means to his end”. Bingo, andy58.
