Anybody watch it? Thoughts?
Consolidation of power to the executive branch, umm no, that’s not how it works…
I watched the first ten minutes or so, at most. Switched over to the MW3 on the Xbox and then Louis CK on Netflix.
I think I made the right choice.
That’s how it works under socialist regimes.
Here is a comparison to last years SOTUA (thanks Irish).

Broken record, same shit repackaged. People will believe anything, fucking lemmings. :lazy:
Just to be fair, Republicans having been pissing on our backs for thirty years and calling it “trickle-down” economics. And they’re rolling out the same shit again.
I could go on and on about this but Ill just say a few things.
The Obama’s have spent millions of tax payer dollars on vacations and then he gets up there and spouts off about how rich people need to do their fair share. Mitt Romney, who made like 60 million in the last 2 years, and paid 6 million in taxes, wouldn’t even cover just half the ‘first family’s’ vacation and leisure habits for a single year. Im just pointing this out because it shows how flawed our system is and why the liberals are eager to steal more money. Im not going to begrudge a guy for wanting a vacation but I will when they use a SOTU address to lament about how rich people aren’t paying enough and its not “fair” they pay 6 million in taxes in 2 years. What not fair is that Americans are paying taxes so a public official can spend millions of dollars on their personal vacation habits. The bottom line is this type of thinking where government doesn’t have enough money is only true because government is extremely wasteful and they will NEVER have enough. The budget and spending has exploded over the last few decade and its simply not sustainable.
Obama obviously believes government is the answer for everything, and he puts little to no emphasis on the private sector. I guess this boils down to if you believe in Keynesian economics or Austrian. Im an Austrian economics type of guy and believe small government with little to no taxes is the way to a prosperous economy. Obama believes taxing the rich and the government being the primary role in the economy and especially at this time the cure to our ills.
People who are interested should take the time to look at the economic policies of various presidents from Wilson to FDR because it was like our country’s coming of age years to now as far as policy is concerned. Wilson was who gave birth and Obama is like the dirty step child of all the big government Keynesians we’ve had since then.
Edited for clarity.
One thing I noticed…I did’nt see a whole lot of people on either side jumping up and applauding when he mentioned stopping insider trading… Frankly, I’ve just about given up…I’m no expert on ecomonics, But, My understanding is, that Obama wants to tax the “rich” more, and if the figures I’ve read are right, if this was done, He’ll raise about $25billion…We (the U.S.) owes about $15trillion…so that $25b is just a drop in the bucket,and he (Obama) thinks that if he had that exrta money he cound get the defict under control…:rolleyes: I figure we have about 2-4 yrs before we get hit with inflation, to be followed shortly after by the U.S. defaulting…Great…:bad:
Then presidential candidate Obama said in 2008 he would balance the budget by the end of his first term.
And you are right…even raising tax rates on the rich would not balance the budget as it sits right now.
Fuck being fair, you won’t see me defend the god damn neo-cons. People have to stop looking at it like Republican vs. Democrat, conservative vs. liberal. It’s all lies.
Not sure about you, but things were trickling down pretty good until 2008. And there was 8 years of Clinton in those last 30 years also, not that I’m complaining about the economy under him either.
As opposed to what? I am not in favor of modern republican economics, either, but trickle down means different things to different people.
That’s why he’s president, he pandered to idiots that were stupid enough to believe he would do crap like that.
And why he has a good chance of having a second term…
Maybe I should give up trying to explain reason to others…
If people haven’t figured it out by this point then what?
Don’t worry… When the guided missle of inflation gets here and explodes, (and it’s coming) They’ll figure it out when they no longer have a job, their home gets forclosed on, The price of gas, food, and other everyday needed items goes through the roof,The govt tells the populace they can no longer afford food stamps and welfare entitlements, THEN they’ll figure it out…
No they won’t.
The worse it gets, the more the Democrats will promise social programs and the more the Repubs will cave in.
Roosevelt stretched out the Great Depression, cashing in on it the entire time, pissing away tax dollars on stupid expensive “get back to work” programs and other worthless bullshit. And was re-elected time after time and still TODAY the great majority of Americans view that criminal sub-human piece of fucking filth as a “Great President”. Personally, I hope he burns in Hell for an eternity; he was only slightly less evil than Hitler and Stalin, but not by much.
Obama is cut of the same cloth. And the idiots on both sides of the aisle will do the same thing.
Exactly.
If they really wanted to create jobs they would cut corporate taxes and strip the draconian regulations that stifle growth, but it’s not really about that, is it.
Trickle down prosperity beats trickle up poverty anyday.
I was in the car yesterday and actually listened to Limabaugh a bit and he had two good points:
The start of the visitor sitting in the box with the 1st lady started with Reagan and one of the guys who dove into the Potomac to try to save people from that crashed airliner. It was a hero’s prize. What the hell did Warren Buffet’s secretary do that is so heroic?
The other is that if she is Warren Buffet’s secretary why didn’t she get in on his stock? What kind of boss is Warren if he didn’t have a share buying plan for his employees.
Limbaugh gets harder to listen too, but when he gets a good point he can really drive it home.
If Der Kommissar Obamassar is not happy with the job - if it’s LESS than what he thought it would be - he should resign, instead of mope around in disappointment…
Sadly you are entirely accurate and most Americans will continue to fall for it every time.
Not to mention that if she’s really paying a 35% tax rate (as Buffett stated), she’d be making over $300,000 a year, and thus is a 1%er.
Also, nice IO campaign to confuse the unwashed masses on capital gains.
