Is The Dear Leader Done Speaking?

Oh, finally, the Dear Leader, President Obama, has finished his long-awaited State Of The Union side show, er speech, and it was a zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Really, I do not want to send you to a site where you can watch the Dear Leader, President Obama, putting many Americans to sleep. So, you can read his comments at this link.
Why it only took the Dear Leader, President Obama, seconds to twist the Massacre In Tucson to somehow fit the lefty view that Jared Loughner was some crazed Tea Party reject trying to stifle debate in this nation. While the Dear Leader, President Obama, did start off by noting the abscence of Congressman Gabrielle Giffords, the target of Mr. Loughner's rampage, here is what he said about the outcome of the Massacre In Tucson:

But there's a reason the tragedy in Tucson gave us pause. Amid all the noise and passions and rancor of our public debate, Tucson reminded us that no matter who we are or where we come from, each of us is a part of something greater - something more consequential than party or political preference.

Again, the fact is that Jared Loughner is at worst a crazed schizophrenic that had no discernable political point of view. It appears that Mr. Loughner really got off on some movie called Zeitgeist in which a just as disjointed world view is explored.
But enough of that pap.
On some substance, the Dear Leader, President Obama, threw some bones to Republicans by wanting to streamline federal government regulations, cutting the budget deficits and the like.
But then, the Dear Leader, President Obama, strayed into that territory. The territory of more government spending. Oh, my bad. Investment. Yeah, that is the new lefty term for more government.
The Dear Leader, President Obama, talked about repairing our transportation infrastructure, rebuilding roads and bridges.
Hey, I thought that was what the American Recovery Act was supposed to do?! Once again, my bad! I guess that is why there are still tons of potholes around these parts!
And somehow, this president really believes that the government made America great.
Really, did those that he cited, Thomas Edison, the Wright Brothers, Henry Ford, go to the federal government for a handout? Not to my knowledge.
Yet there he goes again, touting the fraudulent Green economy.
The free market, not the government and their business allies looking for cash, will determine if there is a real market for Green.
But this guy and his minions think that the federal government can just wave a wand, or a wad of cash, and suddenly jobs will come down like manna from heaven.
And the Dear Leader, President Obama's comments on education are a joke.
If he had proposed getting rid of the Department of Education, then he would be on to something.
But because of the DOE, we have seen our education system become an ungodly mess.
If he really wants bottom up education innovation, get rid of the DOE and its mandates and let the local school boards have the power that they once had.
All in all, it was a somewhat Clintonian speech. But I think that it will not have any effect in the long run. After all, the Dear Leader, President Obama, has a split congress. Anything that he wants to get done has to start and get passed the Republican House. And unless he steps away from some of what he talked about, it is going to be a long two years.
Maybe then he will stop speaking.

Zeitgeist is great!
I love the way it segues from the artificial foundation of all religion to 9/11 conspiracies, and behind it all, the secret societies. Doesn't get any better than that!
