SOTU

What bullshit!  I mean every year it's the same old bullshit.  Blah, blah, blah.  Promise this.  Accuse that.  Divide us as much as possible.  Roll out the sob stories.  I mean...can't they get a new speech writer or choreographer?  His speech was about as relevant as this article on The Onion, which is ridiculous.

All Presidents experience the lame-duck syndrome...but usually not with three years left.  But the simple truth is that he has made so many empty promises, has lied to the people so many times, has threatened Congress so continually, that the grown-ups in the room are no longer paying attention.  Much of the substance of the speech was at best laughable and at worst ignorant.  I mean, increase the minimum wage for Federal workers?  Oh yeah, those folks predominantly living and working in the District of Columbia that are in his pocket but he wants to keep there.  A new retirement scheme that provides for guaranteed return.  Huh?  Who does that?  In what economic scheme is that possible?  Oh yeah, I forgot...the rest of us are paying.  And his comments about women not having equal opportunity?  Huh?  In what world is he living in?  There are more women in law school, medical school, business school, you name it school than men.  Maybe I'm living in a weird alternate universe, but in my world women are doing damn well.  Syria is better off?  Oh yeah...200,000 are dead but who's counting.  We're done with Iraq.  Great, but has he heard of this little place called Falujjah?  And give Iran what they want.  They promised to be good.  Oh yeah...climate change is a settled fact.  Done and done.  Oh really?  That's what these guys do.  Declare their superiority.  Don't bother me with facts.  And inequality.  That's their watchword these days.  Anyone who has two pennies to rub together better watch out because he wants one of them to redistribute in the name of equality.  And on and on.  What total and complete bullshit!!

And the sad thing is that he could have been great.  He could have been a role model, an inspiration to so many.  But it is not to be.

And how about the Joint Chiefs and Supreme Court.  I've always thought and continue to think that it is highly inappropriate for them to attend.  They have no business being there.  Just stop.

I'm not even going to comment on the slimy members of Congress.  They are just, well...ok, I'm not going to comment.
