The
vast majority of Americans tuned out and turned away from the State of the
Union speech by President Obama. What
they missed was a carefully scripted paean to the brilliance of his
administration in governing our country.
If there were to be a soundtrack for accompaniment, it would have been
“On the Sunny Side of the Street,” “Accentuate the Positive (Eliminate the
Negative),” and “What a Wonderful World” as the finale. Thankfully, there would be no James Taylor! Why did so few watch? Why were his ratings a 15-year low? Maybe they didn’t want to see a poorly rated
rerun of perpetual tax and spend democrat policies, hate the rich class
warfare, and pie in the sky Monte Hall giveaways. Maybe his oratorical luster has faded. Maybe his failure to carry through on his
previous promises has “come home to roost.”
Maybe his glitch ridden policies, lack of transparency, proliferation of
scandals, incomprehensible foreign policy and deceitful domestic policy (i.e.,
Obamacare, Keystone pipeline, open borders) has jaded many of his customary
supporters.
That’s
why Seth Meyers of NBC noted, “Obama gave
the SOTU address and I just have to say that I don’t know what union he was
describing. But I want to live
there. I want to move. It sounds outstanding. There’s a middle class. They have small businesses. It sounds great.” NBC has carried enough water for the
Obama administration to fill the Great Lakes.
When even they start mocking “the One,” storm clouds are forming on the
horizon of “fundamental transformation.”
He
should have seen the warning signs of his impending fall from grace when his
party’s candidates declared him persona
non grata on their campaign trails last year. He should have known that when “every single
one of my policies” was on the ballot yet his party still suffered nationwide
annihilations in the 2014 elections. He
should have known that in 2008 he inherited 257 House Democrats and 57 Democrat
Senators. His ranks have now eroded to only
188 in the House and only 44 in the Senate.
Furthermore, state Democrat governorships have dwindled from 28 to 18
while Republican governor ranks have increased to 31during his
“leadership.” He should have known that
non-Gruberized, non-low information voters know that the national debt increase
averaged $251 billion during the Bush years.
Senator Obama called that “unpatriotic” and a “failure of leadership.” However, his average annual national debt
increase has been an astounding $1,078 billion!
Now he’s offering up another $4 trillion budget which will add another
$475 billion to the national debt. . Remember the company that horribly botched
the Obamacare website rollout? Some say
that incompetence bordered on criminal negligence. Well, that same company has been hired by the
IRS to handle the Obamacare tax issues!!!
It’s the same old, same old wasteful and irresponsible spending
There’s
another reason no one watched his SOTU—they were at the movies watching
AMERICAN SNIPER, the story of Chris Kyle.
That movie not only continues to set box office records week after week
after week, but it also exposes the hypocrisy of the radical left. Since their disgusting treatment of veterans
coming home from Viet Nam, like the president, they said they had “evolved” and
learned to “separate the warrior from the war.”
Poppycock! Leftists like Moore,
Rogen, and Dean called Kyle a coward, linked him to the Nazi’s, and said anyone
seeing the movie had anger issues, respectively. An NBC “journalist” called him a “racist” who
went on “killing sprees.” Others labeled
him a “homicidal psychopath.” The
shallow veneer is ripped away and their core ugliness is once again revealed.
The
irony permeating this repugnant ingratitude is that Chris Kyle did four tours
of duty in harm’s way defending their right to make such idiotic and
irresponsible statements. Remember,
there’s a blogger in Saudi Arabia who is getting 1,000 lashes for making a
statement insulting to Islam. Remember
Charlie Hebdo. Try exercising freedom of
speech in Iran, or Cuba (our new best friend forever), or in Russia, or in the
burgeoning caliphate of ISIS. Try it in
Yemen, or in Nigeria, or in North Korea.
Speak out in Pakistan, or in China…or in Hollywood (as Clint Eastwood
does) and see what it gets you.
No
matter how smoothly you talk, you can’t fool all of the people all of the
time. The American people are sending a
message with their feet, their remote controls, and their pocketbooks. They are telling you what they like and what
they don’t like with their time and with their votes. It’s a curious world when you go to the
movies to see something that is real and when you watch President Obama’s SOTU
address, you see something that is imaginary.
It’s time to get real.
