"He makes no attempt to make any sense" - Nutshell, meet nut. And the reason King Barack doesn´t even try is precisely because his ignorant supporters do not want to hear nor have to deal with any kind of sense, common or uncommon. They desire only the meaningless blather of political correctness, that ultimate revenge on reason, effort, good judgment and clarity. The Celebration of Ignorance - the Obama "presidency" - continues on, all blinders securely in place.

This is a great piece of reasoned comments on the State of Union speech. Read it!

Obama should be subjected to a no confidence vote by the American people and him and cabal of Chico thugs sent packing along with him.

Obama´s economic policies have been the biggest colossal failure in out life time and he blows it off as unfinished business.

This means that in order for the economy to recover,it has to have a compete government takeover.The problem is people who support this fantasy really don´t want to work,leaving no one to carry out the day to day business in this country.

Even if you paid these slugs $20 an hour to drive a tractor trailer,chances are the cargo would be stolen or robbed.

And who exactly was surprised by anything in the article or the speech? Look at the last 4 years and all of his previous politics.

My biggest concern is that he was re-elected. The electorate is either selfish or stupid or both.

Surprise! Surprise! America!...So what did we expect last night from this undocumented, professional Marxist agitator from the mean streets of The Windy City´s South Side...who has never held a regular job in the private sector, to include managing a corner candy store or even a McDonald´s milkshake machine, never served a day in America´s Armed Services, associates with notorious domestic terrorists and suffers from a severe case of narcissistic personality disorder?

Thank you for confirming what I expected. I didn´t listen to the speech because Fauxbama has contradicted himself so many times that his words are meaningless.

Oh, but we connect with him emotionally and he cares about us.

He was reelected for the above reasons even though, as a recent poll shows, the people disagreed with every principle he holds.

This is an excellent article. Everyone should read!

Some of my favorite lines from the article...
"Reality never seems to intrude on this president’s world. He has his ideology and he is sticking to it." AMEN!
"America, you were warned but you re-elected him anyway. And that’s the state of our union." and AMEN!

#3, with due respect, we had a "confidence" vote in Nov. We must all live with this horrible mistake for the next 4 years. Maybe then, and I have my doubts, we will unite and defeat leftism that is killing our constitution and nation.

This fool wouldn´t be in office if it wasn´t for all the demonrat vote fraud that went on.

Did not watch. What difference does it make? Even our comments on Lucianne are a way for us to vent our frustration and disgust. We do not or cannot change anything, now.

Anything Zip says is a waste of breath. He will act by EO and do whatever he wants, and no one in Congress or the Senate will do a darn thing. Absolutely, nothing.

Americans are in jeopardy of having this tyrant take over, and again, no one is trying or can stop him. Bad times.

I chose not to watch for all the reasons cited here plus I couldn´t stand to see one more photo op of "Gabby" Giffords holding hands with her husband and of course, the Newtown parents.

I drive by Arlington Cemetery everyday on my way to work and everyday a tear wells up in my eye - for this "state" of the union?

Really, I would have watched the SOTU speech but I couldn´t force myself to do it. It would have been like watching the Chris Dorner of American presidents hunkered down in a shootout with reality as the Constitution and our economy burned down all around him...but without the same happy ending. Someday when forensic historians dig through the ashes of our charred country, perhaps they´ll discover the reasons for the madness that drove him to do it...and also drove so many others to cheer him on as he fired away.

The best way to bamboozle a nation is to hi-jack their common language by twisting the meaning of words and promoting big lies.
If we were still an educated nation, Obama would have been tossed out in last November´s election like the incompetent Carter was in 1980.
But we are no longer an educated nation. Decades of dumbing down has produced an electorate eager to be taken care of and anxious to believe. Obama´s the perfect culmination of our demise.

At least he didn´t say Gabby Giffords needs two votes. A surprise, considering the children and all.

Blah -- blah -- blah -- and the beat goes on and on and on.....

I didn´t watch. Couldn´t sit through yet another dog and pony show....

Nothing the DC elite can do to stop this idiot -- so -- dig in and survive till WE can replace him.....

"This is an excellent article. Everyone should read!"

Why? Did Obama say something new? Was there something you didn´t already know? I don´t need to read a rehash of his performance for the past 4 years - and what we have to look forward to for the next 4.

I can´t listen to him or critics any longer - it´s the same thing day-after-day. I´m just trying to live through it.

I chose to watch Westminster. Banana Joe held much more appeal for me than BHO.

Best takeaway from the article, the evil will live on. Very true, the man wants to be "historic", but he will be remembered for the evil destruction he has wrought.

Welcome to the Democrat party.

Tee hee. Bob Schiefer thought it was wonderful. It had a beginning, a middle, and an end. (his words)

I´ll add no comment since I was watching the dog show.

There will always be enemies of this nation and freedom. The problem is not Obama, as bad as he is, it is the people who are willingly giving up their freedom to have him "fundamentally transform" this nation. And a Congress who sits by watching violation after violation of our fundamental constitution be violated. Where is the line that will be crossed saying this is too much?

The democrats bring illegals to the SOTU, which is against the law because they have no SS numbers...and irony of all,,,O´s SS is in question. And I don´t trust the legal immigrants either, who come here with prejudice to vote for big government,,,,since that is their background. Legal immigrants do not vote for Republicans.
I am at least encouraged a little with Boehner´s expression which seemed to say ´I have had enough´.

Watched the Westminster Kennel Club.

I watched the dog show too and was horrified at the choice for best in show. The wire-haired pointer, the fox hound, the smooth coat terrier and the sheepdog were all gorgeous. That little ratty black thing that won - what was that? It certainly wasn´t a dog. Still, it beat the he!! out of watching the snake oil sale at the Capitol.

i am SO with #17...i no longer care to hear anything from resident loser or his critics...i too am just trying to survive this..i still donate to this site,but that is all i care to do for our cause...it sucks,really,that it has to be like this..

An excellent piece, rendered cogent by its use of crisp, short, logical, clear sentences.

It’s all absurd. Barack Obama is the absurd president. He makes no attempt to make any sense, yet the media will pretend that he is a visionary. The reality is, Barack Obama is just a very powerful crank.

In short, he is drunk with power and doesn´t really care whom he hurts so long as his bizarre wishes get carried out.

He hits you with one hand, then wants you to help him with the other.

Dogs who get beaten but fed by an abusive owner, fawn obsequiously over the owner every time the owner comes back to feed the dog. Obama & Co. are abusive dog owners and American liberal are the beaten dogs. He keeps hurting them, but passing out free stuff. Then the liberals come back for more, licking his hand in submission.

It´s sick.

Bingo # 22, bingo. In my view, there isn´t an opposition party in Washington. They are all bureaucrats that only want to feather their own nest and damn what happens to the country in the meantime. The majority of them come to Washington with nothing and retire with millions. But money can´t buy their vote? Sarcasm intended. What ever happened to the checks and balances of our three divisions of government? Does anyone in government really care about the Constitution anymore?

Raising the minimum wage is such a demagogic piece of foolery. What else can he possibly do to increase unemployment? Now, if you want a "liveable" wage, you can do what Nixon suggested, a "negative income tax," basically a guaranteed minimum income, paid for by government, not employers, or work within the EIC. No. This isn´t sophisticated economics. Again he´s either an idiot, purposively destructive of the U.S., or both.

I remember learning about Checks and Balances in government class, and thinking how it would protect the people and the government. Turns out that it means nothing at all because it can´t and won´t be enforced when you have the media on your side. It´s the traitorous media that really means Hussein can get away with anything.

I´m sorry, but I´m still trying to decipher this coded message. He never comes straight out and says what he means. Then Jay Carney can come out when questioned and say"That´s not what the President said".....

Did you notive the crease on his pants?

It wasn´t easy - - since he was mostly standing behind a rostrum - - but the few glimpses I got told me that his pants were meticulously creased.

Quite amazing. That´s what I want in a U.S. president.

The SOTU address was last night? Huh, I was too busy watching White Collar on Netflix. So as I understand from the article, Obama is still president, hates logic, the US, and the military. Yup, nothing has changed from last year.

O claimed the State of the Disunion! He proclaimed himself king and dared all of us to try to stop him...he might want to try listening to We the People instead of just his interest groups!

Oh, was the SOTU on? I missed it. I was washing my hair.

I can´t stand even looking at that guy, let alone hearing him speak.

I went to Sams Club shopping on Monday and Tuesday this week. On both days I observed two seperate black families paying for their boatload of groceries with their Welfare Bridge Cards. They all wore very happy faces as they got their government freebies.
When I consider the above mentioned I know why Obama got reelected and I know why he said what he did yesterday. All of his welfare serfs have got his back and he can say and do whatever he wishes without the fear of any repercussions at all.

FOX/Bing did a good thing last night by allowing viewers to record their reactions to the speech. 12.9 million people checked in. The overall reaction to the speech was negative hitting over 70% negative when 0 talked about climate change and gun control. I was surprised that voters identified as Democrat didn’t like the speech either although they weren’t quite as negative as were Republicans and Independents. Fact is people didn’t buy what 0 was selling last night.

Barry the Bungler will meet his first real resistance when obamacare kicks in and the people will be forced to pay for substandard healthcare and not be able to pay the premiums let alone the deductibles. The IRS will meet massive resistance to the fine known as a "tax" on tax returns. Young, healthy people will say "screw it" to any medical insurance. Then there will be more colorful resistance when the various attempted gun grabs begin.

Since congress still won´t work up the courage, the people will start a movement to remove obama by "executive order." At that point we will get our first glimpse of ugly.

Just makes me weep the more for my country and my countrymen.

Lighten up people.
He´s the pres and he´s black.
That´s all that matters.

Excellent article, but I´ll differ with Preston on this: if you view Emperor NerØbama as a demonic intruder out to destroy this nation, then he is very, very "coherent". Remember that the devil is the father of lies (see Jn 8:44). In that light, our Dear Leader is not "incoherent" - he is simply a liar.

Obama said, "What I´m about to suggest won´t cost a dime." He then listed I don´t know how many things that clearly would.

Perhaps congress should pass a bill authorizing all of it, with a collective budget of 9 cents.

2 million votes separated us from this monster-in-chief. I say 2 because he won by 3. If 2mil of those "votes" had gone the other way, we could´ve saved this country. I personally believe those were manufactured, but if more had shown up on the GOP side to offset them . . . sigh . . .

Bizarro about sums it up for me.

And he gets away with it for one reason, & one reason only: our complicit main stream press. Think they would´ve given Nixon this kind of a pass? Reagan? Dole? Bush 1? Bush 2? McCain/Palin? Romney/Ryan?

I have too much respect for my nice big, flat screen TV to watch this pig of a president. I would be too tempted to throw something at the screen.

The speech did not give any indication of an original thought passing through Obama´s head. He simply repeated the same ideas that lead nowhere during his first term.He just never learned anything.His inadequacies explain why he surrounds himself with a bunch of second raters.

#42, "Obama said, ´What I´m about to suggest won´t cost a dime´."

President Obama was playing with the English language. He was telling the truth when he said that his suggestions, "won´t cost a dime". They won´t cost ´a dime´ - they will cost trillions of dimes.

Excellent article by Mr. Preston. It was difficult to choose just one but for me the most chilling observation came in this paragraph:
"His actions amount to a hacking of the US.. Constitution. Under our system, the two houses of Congress serve as checks on each other, and together, they serve as checks on the president’s power, and the three branches check and balance one another. But this president has the Senate in his back pocket through its leader, Sen. Harry Reid. Reid renders Obama impervious to congressional and court action against him. Thus, when his recess appointments were judged illegal by the courts, he simply ignored the courts. Harry Reid has his back."

Better to listen to the authentic, ´state of the union,´ as communicated in the recent heartfelt speeches by Dr. Ben Carson, Sen. Rubio and Sen. Rand Paul rather than the theatrical scripted one last night by 0bama, and rendered through his, ´´fractured bizzarro lens!´´

Watched Westminster, too. Then I skillfully navigated the channels to avoid catching any glimpse of the deceiver-in-chief.

I say the Congress gives him an 12 cent budget in case it comes out to be a dime and then extra for his 2 cents worth. Funny how nothing costs a dime and we have a 16 trillion deficit. How can this be?
Don´t ask, just bow.

Yes indeed. The Bolshevik is "A very powerful crank". For four more years!
