State of The Union

So you didn't hear my speach.... ;)  to bad... I won't repeat it here.

If I really was the president on Pennsylvania Avenue.... I wouldn't have the guts to call that a State of the Union address... but would certainly consider it a propaganda campaign speech.  It has been a couple of days so I can sit here and write rationally without getting up and wanting to yell and scream at him leaving me spitting and sputtering because words I shouldn't be speaking are wanting to escape from between my lips. 

If you did listen to it... I bet you were surprised to hear that the State of the Union is as well as it is.  Whether it is or not I don't know... those are just a bunch of numbers that were given.  They hardly fit what I see as reality around me.  Just think about this.  We were told as this man campaigned how bad the economy was.  4.8% unemployment and a stable but shaky housing market.  The banks weren't lending money fast enough or for the right things... businesses couldn't produce because they couldn't get the money to pay the payroll, buy the supplies.... on and on and on. 

So what I am wondering is, now that we have an effective unemployment rate of over 16%, counting everyone... a housing market that is basically busted...a banking system that lives in fear and over regulation, gets slapped in the face on the front page of the paper, forced to give money to people who couldn't pay... set up as greedy sharks and heartless villains, then  handed millions in the back door.  Car companies taken over by the government because the unions couldn't meet the healthcare and retirement draw down, then basically given to the unions who bankrupted them to begin with... gasoline doubling since he took office... and a government who is throwing millions and billions around like candy to all their friends and supporters in the green energy sector... How can we be doing so wonderful?

Oh, I see... it depends on who is in power.  They are doing wonderful, now that they are in power and their friends are happy.  Before it was horrible because no one would just hand them the millions they wanted... they had to work for it.

OK... Okaaayyy... so the speech was a political fund raiser... so why am I so upset?  Well, it was the president who was speaking and the speech was to be about how we as a nation are doing.  This is what I heard.

America is not fair.  The defining issue of our time is to keep alive the American Promise.  The basic American promise is that if you work hard, you can do well enough to raise a family, own a home, send your kids to college, and put a LITTLE away for retirement.  Wait... the American Dream became the American Promise.... since when... nothing is promised from any where in any way!  This is another reforming of America.  Not promoting the best... but a complete change.  Not a revitalization of the basics of our rights as granted by our creator... but a complete change of who is providing the rights. Rules based on what is fair... fair in who's eyes? American Values... not Democrat values nor Republican values.... but who's values?

Well... there is so much more that BO presented for us to consider... programs to organize and organizations to shape to help those who  are struggling.  These programs and organizations are going to spend money.... who's money?  The government has none.  It is your money... my money.  I don't understand what it is about the leftist that find so much joy in spending someone else's money... but then that would be human nature.  We all would love to do with other's money what we can't afford to do with our own. 

Which brings us to the real State of the Union and what he really should be talking about. Lets see... oh there wasn't a State of the Union address... it was a campaign speech... so off to spread the wealth around... yours & mine that is, to his friends... you don't deserve it... you have to much.
