Krauthammer: Expect an ´extremely
aggressive and partisan´ State
of the Union speech

Daily Caller, by Jeff Poor

Original Article

Posted By:sparky86, 2/11/2013 9:01:37 PM

On Monday’s broadcast of Fox News Channel’s “Special Report,” Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer predicted that tomorrow night’s State of the Union address will be the political counterpart to President Barack Obama’s fundamentally “ideological” inaugural speech. “Well, I’m not sure it will be a speech about ideas or programs,” Krauthammer said. “In fact, if the inaugural address was this sort of extraordinarily ideological address, I think the State of the Union is going to be extremely aggressive and partisan. Obama is still campaigning. He hasn’t stopped.

Comments:
Obama isn´t interested in the economy. It´s going to be guns and immigration, chocked full of anti-Republican vitriol.

Whenever I see an article about things Krauthammer says, I always wonder which way the wind will be blowing him that day. Not a bad guy but not completely trustworthy, either.

Charles, take a stand and be consistent. You aren´t so far.

Paul Ryan gave his first political speech since the election at his home district´s Lincoln Day dinner. He said that despair is a mortal sin and he´s giving up despair for Lent. I am going to try to do the same.

He said in ´08 that he inended to completely "transform" the USA. And so he has commenced. And he is going whole hog to change the way the social/cultural fabric of the nation.

He means to change this nation from the roots, and that means to shake and dislodge the Judeo-Christian foundations.

This is a revolution. Most of the people are asleep, good little sheep that they are.

Cannot and have not watched the President for over two years. History will show he may have been the worst President in our history. Has no idea he is supposed to be leading the WHOLE
Country, which means everyone. he is a law unto himself.

He is going to try to damage the Republicans enough so they will lose control of the House in the next election. Then he will be free to fundamentally transform America.


Reply 11 - Posted by: Spidey, 2/12/2013 4:24:02 AM     (No. 9171356)

The complete transformation of this country is an Obama pipedream because at least half the country is against him. Secondly he doesn´t have the money to buy off every voter and money will be come more scarce once Obamacare starts killing jobs.

Bernake is maxed out on money creating gimmicks. All he´s basically doing right now is adding zero´s to the feds accounts to mask the deficit.There´s no hard backup to Bernake´s printing,in fact he should just resign.

Obama has miraculously avoided a tipping point action so far.Even though he hates republicans,he wants their fingerprints on his schemes.

One thing that´s puzzling to me is republican ran states seem to be doing fine but it´s not helping the party image overall. How could states like Wisconsin,Michigan and Ohio elect republican governors then turn around and re-elect Obama unless it´s pure cheating.An Ohio poll workers bragged about voting for Obama twice and no eyebrows raised.

Somebody suggested in a column that Republicans ought to get up and walk out en masse if he uses the occasion to excoriate them. I agree. But they won´t. Instead, Obama will make an outrageous claim, some House guy will not be able to contain himself and yell, ´´That´s BS,´´ and Obama plays the victim.

Surprise me, Pubbies: if this turns out to be a campaign speech full of scorn and derision, stand up, turn your back on the creep, and leave.

It would be hysterical! He´d be lost, stumbling over his words, not a clear thought between his jumbo ears.

Charles, with all due respect, put a sock in it. Until you come out and say you were wrong about Obama -- wrong, say it, Charles: "I was wrong" -- I don´t want to hear from you. Krauthammer, Noonan and Parker: a triumverate greatly responsible for the state we are in now. Thanks loads.

Doc is probably right on this one. What would benefit Obama most? Of course, it is that which has benefited him in the past -- class warfare and scare tactics.

What better venue to disseminate his socialist, anti-capitalist, anti-white agenda than to stir the racial and class pot? He will talk about starving children, killing off granny through medicare cuts, riots in the streets, bridges and roads that fall apart and kill people, "the rich" who protect their $ in the Caymans (as he does), "workers" of America not being given a "fair shake" -- in short, Hitlerian rhetoric aimed at dumbed-down, low-information citizens, legal and illegal.

Obama wants war on our soil, preferably, black against white, unions against non-union workers. Taking away guns is central to his war room plans.

I´ll give Doc this one, even though he sometimes gets it wrong.

And nobody will give a damn! The Press certainly won´t. One has to wonder what it would actually take to shake a Brian Williams, or Diane Sawyer or Bob Scheiffer et al. from their slobbering agreement on any and all. We already know how Chris Matthews stands (still on the air despite ratings that pretty much encompass his family and a few zealots).

I already know the state of the union. I don´t need someone with a God complex to lie to me about it. Therefore, I will not be watching. Obama will be lauded by the media as a president with vision and boldness. I know what he is and what he is trying to do. He is attempting to do what the communists promised they would do, destroy us from within. My heartbreak is realizing that there is no one with the courage to oppose him. There is so much infighting in the Republican Party over who will wield power that they are ignoring the real threat to this country. They should be ashamed. Obama is winning because we have no army on the battlefield.

The Republicans have him in a vice on sequestration. The only way out he knows is to successfully lay the blame on them. That will be the single theme of this SOTU. How he does it is open and unimportant.

I´ve never watched zippy give any sort of speech and I certainly don´t plan to start now. That said, I wonder if he will mention North Korea and their nukes and threats. Probably not as it doesn´t serve his own self interest.

If I were going to watch it I would go back to Rush´s suggestion for the SOTU from the Clinton Era - put a sign across the bottom of your TV screen saying, "This man lies".

Two Americas indeed; those who support Obama and those who oppose.

Remember how under the Eastern bloc and the Soviet Union, if you did not fully support the State you became an Enemy of the State?

It still annoys me that so many of the talking heads on "our" side rarely (Mark Levin being the exception) if ever, come right out and say that Obama is intent on changing/destroying this country for the worse; he´s not in over his head, ignorant about economics, etc. He´s destructive.

"He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient;" - U.S. Constitution Article 2 §3. Remember that the Constitution only requires notification, not necessarily a formal speech where Congress is required to attend.

I would change my opinion of the GOP if they would stand up and walk out - or not show up in the first place. If only we conservatives had a party with a spine to represent us.

I won´t be watching. I have watched any of his speeches and doubt if I could make it all the way through one if someone forced me to listen.

I would be thrilled if even one Republican walked out. I would be even more thrilled if none of them went in the first place. They could hang out in the hallway to be seen, even go in, but leave to go to the restroom and never come back. What a waste of time and effort. I´ll be watching some movies on the DVR.

"The state of the nation is good!" Will be the biggest lie in American history. North Korea just gave the world a wake up call that they have a nuke and they will share the technology with the highest bidder. At the same time Obama will vow to cut our nuclear arsenal and push his Marxist domestic agenda. At what point do the adults take over? ... Maybe after a mushroom cloud over DC.

Here´s another citizen who won´t be watching. But I will say that the President speaks in the House at the invitation of the Speaker. Rather than getting up and walking out en masse as some have sugested, what should be done is that the moment Barry´s TelePrompter reading turns partisan, the Republicans who control the House should immediately cut the power in the House, bringing the whole affair to a screeching halt, and then they should chuck Barry´s scrawney behind out onto the Capitol lawn. But alas, we all know Boehner lacks the gonads to take such a bold stand.

Obama gave old Krauthammer a head fake. Obama´s mission with his speech was not to come over as being extremely aggressive and partisan as Krauthammer supposed, but to come over as a reasonable politician who cared more about the average American then the wimpy Republicans. Just claiming that the minimum wage should be raised to $9.00 an hour will get Obama the votes of millions of low information people, even though it is not politically doable, and if enacted would cause employers not to hire more workers and to layoff a lot of people.

Immediately following President Barack Obama’s remarks on Wednesday about the current scandal embroiling the Internal Revenue Service, Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer reacted by downplaying the gesture. “That was a holding operation,” Krauthammer said. “That was the absolute minimum he could have done. He relieves one person. He obviously had to. He had to relieve at least one person. And he chose, of course , the acting commissioner. But, I would have expected more. The other actions he announced are up to now meaningless. Obama and this administration have said a hundred times they’re going to

Senior Fox News political analyst Brit Hume laid out why this week’s testimony on last September’s terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya could be problematic for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Hume, speaking on Tuesday’s broadcast of “America Live,” said there is no feasible way for her to escape any responsibility since she had to be involved in the crafting of the talking points that came out after the attack that resulted in the deaths of four Americans, including then-U.S. Ambassador J.

Back in the 1980s, the country faced a familiar dilemma to the one it faces today — the border was insecure and too many illegal immigrants had moved into the United States. At the time, the proposed solution was a bill crafted by then Wyoming Republican Sen. Alan Simpson and Kentucky Democratic Rep. Romano Mazzoli. Signed into law by President Ronald Reagan in 1986, it instantly granted 3 million illegal immigrants legal status. Yet a little over 30 years later the problem has returned, with more than 11 million illegal immigrants now in the United States.

“The O’Reilly Factor” host Bill O’Reilly on Thursday criticized those seeking to downplay the role of Islamic extremism in the Boston Marathon bombings. “There is no question that many on the left are very disappointed the two suspects in the terror bombing are Muslim,” O’Reilly said. “And it is sad to say that many in the Muslim world will never believe the Tsarnaev brothers committed the atrocity.” O’Reilly referred specifically to comments by Zubeidat Tsarnev, the mother of suspected Boston Marathon bombers Dzohkhar and Tamerlan Tsarnev. “Now, there is nothing on Earth that can make that woman accept reality

Conservative columnist Pat Buchanan says the “Gang of Eight” immigration reform bill will, if passed, threaten national security and destroy the Republican Party’s ability to compete on a national level. Buchanan, author of “Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?” told radio host Laura Ingraham on Monday that passing a “blanket pardon” of illegal immigrants would be “an act of madness,” particularly in the wake of last week’s terrorist attacks in Boston. “It’s been one week since something like 178 to 180 Americans — three of them murdered — but 178 injured, maimed and wounded by two

John McCain, who on Sunday’s “Face the Nation” on CBS questioned those Republicans who are threatening a filibuster on pending gun control legislation. Scarborough said such a filibuster would be an example of the GOP putting “rapists’ rights ahead over parents’ rights.” “[I] tell you what, Richard Haass, I saw John McCain there,” Scarborough said. “And I’m hopeful.

The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

It began in earnest last Friday. A flash mob of latte drinking, tofu eating media that has done its best to quell, rather than fan the flames of truth, turned on one of their own. Jay Carney lay bludgeoned at the base of the podium, a victim of friendly fire. Ironically, the attack was reminiscent of the one in Benghazi he has repeatedly denied the Administration he represents bears any responsibility for. “Changed twelve times?!” came the cries. And with good reason. We were misled; no, lied to.

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

Washington – Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-MO, issued a video statement Friday in response to reports that the Internal Revenue Service unfairly targeted conservative nonprofit groups. (Snip) “There’s a reason Lady Justice wears a blindfold in America. That is because in America, we don’t apply the law based on who you are, who you know, or what you believe. We apply the law equally.” “We should not only fire the head of the IRS, which has occurred, but we’ve got to go down the line and find every single person who had anything to do with this and make sure

The Internal Revenue Service´s watchdog told top Treasury officials around June 2012 he was investigating allegations the tax agency had targeted conservative groups, for the first time indicating that Obama administration officials were aware of the explosive matter in the midst of the president´s re-election campaign. The disclosure to the Treasury general counsel and the deputy secretary was a cursory one, according to J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration. He said he didn´t reveal conclusions of the probe, which was in its early stages, and his disclosure came as part
