State of the Union Speech or the "1984" speech.

Listening to his speech reminded me of the book of 1984, were history can be re-written and nothing that he said can be believed.

His speech was delivered well, but in the end was "white-noise". It is as if he never left the campaign trail, I guess we can look forward to the 4 year campaign season from now on.

Another Broken Promise

Read the Constitution.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. - First Amendment to the United States Constitution


I wish our President would read the Constitution.

Obama: Ruling 'strikes at our democracy'

If the Democrats want to limit the free speech of corporations, then they should propose a amendment to the Constitution.

And if you think corporations shouldn't have free speech rights, then tell me why "Media" corporations (i.e. the "Press") should have unlimited free speech rights while other corporations shouldn't have any.

Fox News Preferred

Fox News Ratings Explode On Scott Brown Victory Night

Fox News was the only one to show both speeches fully.

"The network saw its biggest night since Election Night 2008, averaging a staggering 6.161 million total viewers in primetime. For comparison, that's almost double CNN (1.503 million total viewers), MSNBC (1.138 million total viewers), and HLN (668,000 total viewers) combined."

"Interestingly, both "Hannity" and "On the Record with Greta van Susteren" (6.399 million total viewers) averaged more than the "Jay Leno Show" on NBC (5.994 million total viewers)."

Obama Review

Poll from January 2009.

WILL GUANTANAMO BE CLOSED BY FEB 2010?
YES - 83%, NO - 16% (5-1)

Oh well, I guess I was the only one who was right.

At one year Obama appears to be a failure. For the left he hasn't closed Gitmo, increased soldiers in Afghanistan, and still has soldiers in Iraq. He failed to elect governors in Virginia and New Jersey and a senator from Massachusetts.

Unemployment, despite his "stimulus" bill, has risen to 10% despite his promise it wouldn't rise above 8% if the bill was passed.

He went back on his promises to not allow lobbyists and to be more transparent. His back-room dealings doomed Health Care Reform.

He lost money on bailouts of GM and Chrysler.

Who won on the left: the auto unions who where bailed out and shown preference over bond holders.

Who also won: Goldman Sachs and the French Banks in the AIG bailout. The unemployed with extensions of benefits and COBRA subsidies. Special interests and left causes in the "stimulus" bills and spending bills with thousands of earmarks.
