The State of Obama
Wall Street Journal, by Daniel Henninger

Original Article

Posted By:Desert Fox, 2/13/2013 8:03:19 PM

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.

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 !

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.

#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.

In 1927, Jozef Stalin summoned the Russian neurologist Bekhterev to give a medical examination of the dictator. Later that day, Bekhterev returned to a medical meeting and told colleagues, "I have just examined a paranoiac with a short, dry hand." Stalin´s left arm was shorter and weaker than the other. The following day, Bekhterev was poisoned and died. He was killed for calling Stalin a "paranoiac." He did not mention Stalin by name, but his medical colleagues knew exactly whom he was talking about. Writing in European Neurology, the historian Juerg

Is the Constitution becoming the left´s new target? That thought struck me the other night over dinner with my liberal friend, a lawyer and part-time professor. Among his choice statements, "Maybe it´s time to get rid of the Constitution and start over." No doubt he was echoing the sentiments of Georgetown law professor, Louis Michael Seidman, who suggested just that in a New York Times op-ed. It´s been several weeks since Seidman made his remarks, and now, it appears, the floodgates are open. Liberals feel they can speak freely about their true intentions for our country.

For the first time in my adult life, I am not proud of the First Lady. Mrs. Obama is frequently compared to Marie Antoinette. She spends hundreds of millions of dollars a year on her own pleasure and aggrandizement while urging the peasants to plant gardens. And for the first time in American history, we have a president who insults us across the world, disavows the idea that American is special, enriches our enemies such as the Muslim Brotherhood, and degrades our achievements ("You didn´t build that."). Metaracism instilled in the Obamas the tragedy of ingratitude.

The budget President Barack Obama will submit on April 10 will contain a proposal that would prohibit individuals from accumulating more than $3 million in Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and tax-preferred retirement accounts. According to a White House statement, the Obama administration believes the current rules allow some wealthy individuals "to accumulate many millions of dollars in these accounts, substantially more than is needed to fund reasonable levels of retirement saving."

The lousy March jobs report jolted financial markets Friday, and understandably so. In a trend that has defined this weakest of all modern economic recoveries, the jobless rate keeps falling but largely because the labor force keeps shrinking. The unemployment rate fell to a new four-year low of 7.6%, from 7.7% in February. Good news, except the main reason for the decline was that nearly half a million Americans (496,000) left the civilian labor force. They retired, quit working, went back to school or gave up looking for work. The economy created a net 88,000 new jobs

THE elementary-school shootings in Newtown, Conn., in December produced two polar public reactions: fear among some Americans that the federal government will restrict gun rights, and hope among others that it will actually do so. Colorado, New York State and, most recently, Connecticut have clamped down on guns, while states like Texas, where I live, are considering legislation that would try to block the enforcement of federal gun regulations. The uncertain approach to guns is good for no one, except perhaps for gunmakers, whose sales have skyrocketed. Lost in this confusion and anxiety is the possibility

Politics: Democrats were quick to blame the anemic March jobs number on the "sequester" spending cuts. If that were the case, what explains the previous four years of lousy job growth under Obama? At 88,000, the jobs growth in March was well below expectations. And while the unemployment rate dropped, that was the result of hundreds of thousands dropping out of the labor force who as a result aren´t counted as unemployed. Democrats, of course, tried to pin the blame for this on Republicans for allegedly pushing austerity measures. White House economic adviser Alan Krueger complained

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank
