| Here´s what has to be understood. It´s all about him. A State of the Union speech normally is about relating a president´s public policies to conditions in the country. An Obama State of the Union speech is about one thing: the Obama project. It would be unfair to say that everything and everyone else in a complex world are irrelevant. But let´s be clear about the priorities: Congress, the Cabinet of courtiers, the press, the people and indeed the national problems described in that State of the Union speech—it´s all brick and mortar in the future Obama monument.

I get the e-mails from barry & co. They tell me how wondeful barry and his agenda are, ask me to join them , volunteer for them and of course they ask for money. I can´t stand this group but they are very well organized and they never quit. I find this to be creepy and frightening.

Article 1 Section 7
"All bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House."
If Boner and the girls in the House don´t stop this revolution in the House then others will be forced to stop it in the streets.
The quality of ugly needed now will pale in comparison to it´s alternative.

I always enjoy Daniel Henninger´s dry sense of humor. It almost makes me feel as if I should not panic. However, I don´t think that ValJar will cease whispering in his ear how wonderful and magnificent he is, and he will never cease to believe her.

The speech indicated that Obama is incapable of an original thought.Same rhetoric over and over . Didn´t learn anything in his first term.It helps explain why he appoints such second rate people to the cabinet.And of course it helps that he has the press in his corner.

A better definition of ‘Psychopath’ By Rick Nauert PhD Senior News Editor Reviewed by John M. Grohol, Psy.D. on July 3, 2006
Are some corporate CEO’s, doctors, lawyers, politicians and scientists psychopaths? The answer could be “yes” if you use a definition which labels individuals who are often intelligent and highly charismatic, but display a chronic inability to feel guilt, remorse or anxiety about any of their actions. Tack on the use of violence and intimidation to control others and satisfy selfish needs and the label expands.

All the "investments" that 0bama proposed in his state of the union mean extra spending. Where in the world does he think he will get the money for all these new programs. To say he has reduced spending is a lie. No president has ever spent as much as this guy. For the dems to say we do not have a spending problem is appalling.

You make investments to generate income or profits or for appreciation in value. Governments cannot make "investments". . .. it´s an oxymoron! More of Obozo´s deceptive lying.

I guess I don´t blame columnists for being terrified of what will become of them if they called zero what he really is: an evil, arrogant dictator. He has power-mad monarch in his rearview mirror. He rules now as an emperor. And he has his gaze firmly down the road ahead at pharoahonic "living god" status. The man is a dangerous, delusional psycho, right up there with Caligula.

At least half of Congress should be speaking out, complaining how the little king is not consulting with Congress, but bipassing all of them. What arrogance of Obamao. Worse, what irresponsibility of all the greedy lobbied up legislators we voted for. They keep their mouths shut because they are so busy stealing money and granting corporate privilege in exchange for big bucks. Congress simply cannot speak up and do the checks and balances routine. They all need to write the articles, need to speak of the urgency of this Hitlerian charismatic giveaway, takeaway artist driving us to destruction. Everybody, Speak Up !

To use the word ‘investment’ for spending more tax money is to be compared to a person ‘investing’ in a new automobile. It’s just a head game.

Barack Obama is indeed in sync with the public will, so much so that he has largely dismissed and devalued the rest of the system, specifically Congress and the courts. In the next four years, that could prove to be a problem.
I´d say that´s a gross understatement. "...a problem"? It could mean the utter destruction of our 3 co-equal branch system of government, which is exactly what Obama and his followers want.
The man is maniacal. The last maniac who held the highest office in his country destroyed ten million people -- on purpose.

The democrats are drunk on power and control at any price. They have waited for decades for someone to come along with the attributes of Obama. He is black, he is an ideological radical, he is charismatic, he is confident, and most of all he will push to achieve their progressive goals and destroy anyone or anything that stands in his way by any means possible. He is the one they have been waiting for. He is their messiah and they will not let anything or anyone take him down. They will continue to worship him as the country slides into financial chaos, and still, they will blame republicans.

King Obie has a grand plan for saving the nation. Now he just needs Congress to pass is new tax bill, calling for a 137% tax rate on all people deemed to have too much. The criteria will, of course, be set by King Obie himself, on an individual basis, with race being one of the criteria.

Poster NO. 4 has said it all. There is nothing more to be said. This country is gone. By the time the people of this country wake up to what has happened, it will be too late. We are NOW a communist country and there are not enough of the informed people in this country to do anything about it. Resign yourself to be just like Cuba. There if no other alternative. In just a few years, you will be told what to eat, drink, wear, own and think, so get used to it.

Lil´ Teleprompter´s speeches are incoherent. It is the gift of the BS artist/con man to be able to say things that make sense to those who don´t actively listen. I have met such people, and after you leave the room and think about what they said you call BS.
The man ran on eliminating prosperity for those who listened. I think the only question is whether as prosperity drains away his policies will be blamed ever.

#3 has identified ValJar as Obama´s thought controller, which I, too, believe she is. As I´ve said on other posts ValJar is a subversive Svengali.
I just had an OMG moment. In making sure I didn´t give any wrong information about ValJar I went to Wikipedia. To my horror I found that she earned a Juris Doctor (J.D.) from the University of Michigan Law School in 1981. Does that mean she walked the same streets and shopped in the same stores as I did in those years? Yuck.
It´s bad enough that Tom Hayden and Bill Ayers went to the U of M and were present on the campus in the early years of my living there. The other horror is that John F. Kerry came to my adopted state in those terrible years to hold his "hearings" called the Winter Soldier Investigation and now he´s the SOS. John Kerry, Bill Ayers, and Valerie Jarrett - common thread of Michigan in the life of BHO.
How sad for the great University of Michigan to have Ayers and Jarrett as alumni. Believe me, those days were a nightmare in the lovely city of Ann Arbor. It makes me sick to my stomach that the people who brought so much evil to my adopted hometown and state now have a stranglehold on my country.
Finally we got fed up as A2 became more and more liberal, we moved out of the city to the western side of the county, which is a lot more sane and conservative.

Rush Limbaugh´s show yesterday was great. He had an profound epiphany after 5 years of dealing with Obama. Why will Obama not lead? Why is he always campaigning? Why does he have continuing support as the country spirals downward? Go to his site for the full transcript or do as I do and join 24/7. I download the MP3´s and play them when I´m in the car.
From Rush:
"For five years Obama has never once allowed himself to be seen as governing.
He is constantly campaigning against mysterious forces who have ill intentions trying to harm you and this great country. There are these figures behind the screen, behind the curtain. Romney was one. Bush was one. There are others. Obama´s trying to expose them. Throughout history dictators, for example, have never really been blamed for the bad things that happened in their countries. Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Castro, none of them were blamed by the rank-and-file citizenry.
They were, instead, the leaders of the revolution!"
He goes on. It´s worth the read.

A new study may stimulate the old adage of respecting your elders; it says the general level of intelligence in the Western Hemisphere has declined since the Victorian Era. The study claims the IQ numbers are 14 points lower than from the 19th century. One of the authors of the study, Dr. Jan te Nijenhuis, professor of work and organizational psychology at the University of Amsterdam, says the cause of the movement toward stupidity is that smarter women have fewer children while those of lower intelligence have more children.

The Daily Mail published a pictorial chronology of the gruesome attack, noting, prominently: At 2:20 PM (London time) a British soldier (25-year-old Drummer Lee Rigby of the 2nd Battalion, the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers), wearing a "Help for Heroes T-Shirt" (a charity for wounded British soldiers) was deliberately rammed by a car and crushed against a road sign.

Ron Radosh, writing on PJMedia, dug back into New Left history and political theory in coming up with an explanation for the IRS´s targeting of conservative groups. Radosh provided a telling quote from Herbert Marcuse´s theory of "repressive tolerance" article of 1965. I doubt whether it really applies to the IRS scandal but it´s timely in other ways. "Surely, no government can be expected to foster its own subversion, but in a democracy such a right is vested in the people (i.e. in the majority of the people).

During his foreign policy speech Thursday afternoon, President Obama warned that domestic terrorism would increase in the modern age of the Internet. “[T]his threat is not new,” Obama said. “But technology and the Internet increase its frequency and lethality.” Obama warned Americans that materials on the Internet could influence people to commit terrorist acts. “Today, a person can consume hateful propaganda, commit themselves to a violent agenda and learn how to kill without leaving their home,” he said.

How many ignored warnings does it take? That is one question that should hang over Britain after the horror of the daytime murder of a British soldier on the streets of south London. On Wednesday afternoon, Drummer Lee Rigby was killed in Woolwich by two men wielding large knives and shouting "Allahu akbar"—God is great. Islamists have been saying for years they would do this. They have planned to do it. And now they have done it. The attack itself is not surprising. What is surprising is that British society remains so utterly unwilling not just to deal

The White House insists President Obama is "outraged" by the "inappropriate" targeting and harassment of conservative groups. If true, it´s a remarkable turnaround for a man who helped pioneer those tactics. On Aug. 21, 2008, the conservative American Issues Project ran an ad highlighting ties between candidate Obama and Bill Ayers, formerly of the Weather Underground. The Obama campaign and supporters were furious, and they pressured TV stations to pull the ad—a common-enough tactic in such ad spats. What came next was not common.

IRS Scandal: The inexplicable raid nearly two years ago on a guitar maker for using allegedly illegal wood that its competitors also used was another targeting by this administration of its political enemies. On Aug. 24, 2011, federal agents executed four search warrants on Gibson Guitar Corp. facilities in Nashville and Memphis, Tenn., and seized several pallets of wood, electronic files and guitars. One of the top makers of acoustic and electric guitars, including the iconic Les Paul introduced in 1952, Gibson was accused of using wood illegally obtained in

But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

President Obama on Thursday nominated Victoria Nuland, a State Department official involved in the editing of the administration´s talking points on Benghazi, to be the next assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs. Nuland, a career foreign service officer who was until recently State´s top spokesperson, had long been expected to be nominated the post to replace Philip Gordon, who Obama picked to serve as Middle East coordinator for the National Security Council. Nuland´s nomination -- which requires Senate confirmation -- could come under scrutiny from Republicans who see her as playing a central role in shaping

On “Fox News Sunday” last weekend, White House aide Dan Pfeiffer was asked about President Barack Obama’s whereabouts the night of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi. This was the night when we lost our first ambassador in 30 years, and when three other Americans were killed in an attack that lasted all night long at multiple locations within the eastern Libyan city. Since the president is commander in chief, one would think where he was and what he did during such an event would be of obvious public concern.

Conservative radio host Mark Levin is very skeptical of the idea that President Obama had absolutely no idea about the IRS tea party targeting before the story broke in the news mere weeks ago. Levin declared adamantly that it is a “flat-out, bald-faced lie” that Obama didn’t know beforehand, citing prior reports by a few conservative news outlets picking up on the news well before the 2012 presidential election. Levin said, “I don’t believe for two seconds that Obama wasn’t aware of this.”
