Jesus Christ Almighty, the President created a new party during the State of the Union that he's sure it will appeal to both sides, Demopublican!

I managed to sit through the entire State of the Union speech tonight watching and listening to what the President had to say. He did his best to pander to both sides of the aisle with an admission that we need nuclear power and off shore drilling to meet our future power needs, then he went to bat for the left with his usual braying about green technology, climate change, cap and trade and the immediate need for a (government run) health care program. During his segment on health care he apparently missed the copy on the teleprompter that dealt with Tort reform. Seriously, tort reform is a subject that is off the table with the vast majority in the Democratic Party because the lobbyists for the Trial lawyers association have them by the seat of their pants and they won't touch it no matter how much the American people call for it.

He babbled on some more about both parties need to work together to get whats best for the American people. The most truthful statement that he made was that America has lost trust in government especially that in Washington. He talked about hidden agendas with regard to running the country but failed to say that he and his inner circle have been trying, unsuccessfully for the time being, to move us in the direction of socialism.

I loved the part where he talked about our need to export more products, that's great but we don't make an awful lot that we can export and in the grand scheme of things China has said publicly that they are not going let as much as one manufacturing job leave their country. He said he was going to remove tax breaks from the companies that are exporting jobs, that's fine but if they can get products and services for less in China and India those costs will more than likely offset the difference. Also, if this government is not careful many of the large corporations will pack up and move their headquarters to foreign countries that have favorable tax environments.

The President did talk about the treatment of Veterans and that the government is working to forge a new VA for the future, however Vets will as they have in the past end up getting screwed because Mr. Obama in reality is not a fan of a strong military and like all those who have gone on before him could care less about veterans.

Mr. Obama covered rogue nations and mentioned Iran specifically and that we will impose even stricter sanctions against them if they refuse to bow to world pressure, my guess is that he had to call the Chinese and the Russians before the speech to get their permission to slam the Iranians.

He covered the illegal immigration issue in that he said we will work on the problem and work at closing our borders, although he failed to say that his administration has done nothing since taking office so that means we have had literally millions more people come across our borders this past year.

The President spoke about terrorism and how we have to continue to go after the terror threat, he didn't touch on the fact that the underwear bomber was grossly mishandled and to really save face should have fired everyone involved especially Janet Napilatino of Homeland Security. He said we are offering incentives to the Afghan's in an effort to end the incredible corruption that exists there, but since it is a way of life there I think incentives are a waste of time, we're only enriching the crooks. He also, said that we are working to train a national police force and build their military so they can take on their own enemies, a daunting task at best.

He spent about a nano second admitting that he has made a mistake or two and then went on to try to convince those listening that what goes on in Washington is very complicated stuff, whats so complicated about doing the right thing for the American people.

Throughout the speech his backdrop was the Vice President looking like a life size 'bobble head doll' with his head in a continuous up and down motion that I'm guessing was a form of agreeing with every word the President spoke and Nancy Pelosi who would break out in one toothy smile after another when the psychotropic drugs she must be taking would get the best of her. All in all just another campaign speech.

It's finally time to weigh in on the underwear bomber and how he was mishandled by the government.

The underwear bomber has been an on again, off again subject since his terrorist' effort was thwarted on Christmas. The handling of this whole thing has been nothing but a mess since minute zero on the day it happened. Janet Naplitano, the head of Homeland Security, was the first government official to bungle the job with her moronic statements, sorry retractions and even sorrier explanations about what had taken place. The President buried his head in the salty sands of Hawaii for three days before he managed enough courage to get in front of the teleprompters to address the nation and then did his usual best to disengage himself from the situation. Robert Gibbs made sure he got out the White House's message that it was anything but a terrorist attack and chided the press when asked what it really was then and when he was finally aggravated enough he would give them all the 'LOOK'.

The news media continues to post pictures of this piece of dung on the screen showing him as an innocent looking twenty something youth, when in fact he is a terrorist, who was trained to do exactly what it is he tried to do, and in case you have been on Mars since the holidays he tried to blow up a Northwest Airlines passenger jet flight 253 with 258 passengers and 11 crew on board. The authorities who questioned him botched the job about as badly as it could have been botched, they did not call in experts and questioned him with airport personnel, for all anyone knows he could have been questioned by some TSA bag checker who himself could have been an Islamic sympathetic to the 'cause', and then Mirandized him to insure that he would never make another statement again that could be admitted in court. Various department heads of government agencies were questioned in the last few days about the mishandling of this mess by Senate members and all each could do was give an 'I don't know', and this President is surrounded with these idiots.

It took weeks after the attack before Mr. Obama finally came out and was forced to admit that we are at war with terrorism, however his actions continue to indicate otherwise. He is still going through with the monkey trial of the 911 masterminds in New York at the behest of his Attorney General Eric Holder who like Mr. Obama is another lawyer with little practical courtroom experience, With all of the bad press that 44 is dodging these days and the fact that most of America has finally caught on to his game he will surely touch briefly on the WAR ON TERROR, which you can almost bet he will call by some name other than what it actually is, I'll be watching but I don't expect much more than the smoke and mirrors we have been shown so far.

In the Socialist world more jobs means more government, no competition, no innovation and no future. Welcome to the world of Obama.

This week Mr. Obama will give his 'State of The Union' address and he is supposed to come out fighting just as he appeared to be during the election run up a little over a year ago. Because he got torched in Massachusetts he has hired on his old campaign manager David Plouffe who engineered his ascent to power and hopes Mr. Plouffe will re-image him after Wednesday's speech, there are several little details that may get in his way though. Mr. Obama was forced to show his hand during the last year and many of his stalwart followers have developed something call reservations (Defined as; Doubt, Misgivings as in reservations about marriage) about their anointed one and actually for good reason. When Mr. Obama neglected the economy for the entire year he sent a message to the American people that he could care less about their condition and that he was only interested in pushing his agenda through which would ultimately act as a means to moving the country toward early stage socialism.

One of the biggest questions that most of the media outlets seem to be avoiding in their questioning is, what kind of jobs will Mr. Obama be attempting to create. Considering the fact that manufacturing jobs continue to leave the country at a record pace and those have traditionally been good paying middle class jobs I guess his plans call for an explosion of service type jobs that traditionally pay less and have considerably less room for advancement, so much for the 'American Dream'. Mr.Obama has yet to define what the jobs in renewable energy and green technology actually are, by that I mean I would like to have either the President or someone else, preferably someone that can be traced directly back to 44 himself, come out and give a detailed job descriptions of what it is they actually plan to create, and I almost forgot, how much is this going to cost us.

I really don't think that will happen though since the President has brought his old campaign manager back into the fold with the express purpose of tricking the American voter one more time. His rhetoric will be the same as it was when he campaigned for the 'office', an endless string of empty speeches directed at those who are easily convinced to think that they 'can' get something for nothing, beware of what you wish for.

After the Massachusetts upset, it appears the most positive result is Democrats and Republicans being terrified of losing their cushy jobs.

The Massachusetts Senatorial election brought out the very best and worst that both parties had to offer. There was some real world backbiting, good old fashioned in the gutter campaigning, lots of over confidence on the one side, lots of determination on the other and in the end lots of Congressmen and Senators running for cover and trying to see how they could align themselves with the new kid on the block. I have never seen so many Democratic Congressmen and Senators distance themselves from any President past or present as quickly as they have. They have gone from the ultra confident 'we're going to pass bills and shove legislation down your throats and we don't care what you think because we have a super majority so we can do all of the closed door backroom deals we want,' to the Health Care initiative really wasn't clear and the American people have a right to be informed step by step as to what we are proposing and we feel there needs to be much more discussion.

The Republicans on the other hand, though gloating for a few hours are now sucking up to anyone and everyone to include the President himself. To the man they all say they really like the President and think he is a fine fellow and hope he moves a little to the center and they wish him a very successful term and hope everything settles down enough for him to decide if he wants to run for a second term, which translates to; they think he's a Socialist jagoff and that they hope all of his programs backfire on him and that he is run out of office in disgrace after he gets caught having an affair with a tall thin very white woman. The Republican electorate have gone on and on ad-nauseum about how they relate to the common man and how they are proud of all of the Republican voters who came out and made their voices heard, when it was INDEPENDENTS who saved the day and if these slime balls are not extremely careful they will all be the next group to be shown the door. I have never seen so many phony looks of sincerity as I have this last couple of days when the New Media interviews these people looking for their take on the weeks events.

We have an opportunity and in my estimation an obligation to clean house in Washington in this off year election as well in 2012, I prefer non lawyers who are conservative Independents myself.

It took less than twelve hours after last nights drubbing in Massachusetts for the Obama propagandists that got him elected to start spinning again.

After every Democrat, interviewed last night, tried to play down the significance of the special Senatorial election in Massachusetts as a local issue without any national implications the tone seems to have taken a far different direction this morning. The left media has adopted a much more sober approach although I think it's because they're losing viewers as fast as they can grab the remote because most are tiring of being preached to endlessly about the advantages of programs no one understands and the fact that even true believers are coming to understand that they have been outright lied to. The right media are still as giddy as they were last night to the point they're suggesting that they may be going to run the likes of Newt Gingrich for the Presidency, he a genius according to Monica Crowley on Fox who apparently has a mental love Jones for the genius from Georgia, I wonder if they meet secretly at Mensa meetings?

However a disturbing event has taken place this morning that all of America should be aware of and that is the reemergence of propagandists that are responsible for our current President's election to the highest office. My reasoning is that these people are the ones who talked nonstop to the point that they wore down many of the 'middle of the roaders' with a form of brain washing right out of the Alinsky handbook and had an easy time with the eighteen through thirty crowd who were eager to swallow the hollow promises of entitlements, other free stuff that wouldn't have to be obtained through hard work and that this administration was going to right the wrongs of all past generations ( I was actually told that by a mush brained over zealous emotionally led follower of the progressive movement).

The real issue at hand today though is not the election but keeping the momentum moving to make change in Washington through the election of new people to the majority of offices. This should be a bipartisan issue since the meltdown of our economy was truly a bipartisan effort. The worst thing that could happen right now would be the end of the Tea Party movement, this has been a major factor in the reawakening of the American voter and will be as important to taking back control of our electorate as the propagandists were to electing a ideological socialist to the Presidency of our country.

It only took the America bashers less than a week to unite on the Haiti catastrophe and they're in high gear, may they all rot in hell.

One of the oddest things that occurs whenever there's a catastrophe anywhere in the world where the United States voluntarily steps in and provides aid and assistance is the almost instantaneous emergence of what I like to call the 'yellow tailed America bashers'. The 'basher' comes in many forms. some we expect and others are totality perplexing. It is a given that we will have to endure the rantings of the South American dictators and despots, the weasels that inhabit the temples of Asia and some of the underhanded remarks of the 'former socialists' turned capitalists but really ultranationalists from the former eastern European countries blowing off gas about how the United States government has been lax in their response and never provides enough aid to whatever the disaster is, even though the U.S. ends up in most instances providing well in excess of half of the aid given out to include cash that the governments of those recipient countries usually steal and deposit in Swiss bank accounts. They all manage to pledge aid and assistance making sure they let the world know on prime time news casts worldwide that they're going to provide the desperately needed aid and assistance and that it is on the way, like the three greatest lies--the check's in the mail, I have complete control so I don't have to wear a rubber and email me and I'll forward the third lie privately.

Then we have the born and bred in the good old USA types who are of the belief that we never do enough and that they believe in the conspiracy drenched brains that our government wants to see all of the human suffering taking place for some perverse reason. These claims usually come from some high profile or high profile has been but for some reason they never seem to have facts to back up their rhetoric. This morning Don Imus had one of these goofs on in the form of, as he calls him, the great Dick Gregory, comedian and civil rights activist or at least that's how he, Mr. Gregory, has the network bill him. He was attempting to intersperse lame comedy in a 'negro dialect' (Credit Senator Harry Reid for resurrecting that one)and at the same time taking pot shots at the government for it's apparent, only to him, mishandling of the earthquake disaster in Haiti. What people like Mr. Gregory and apparently Mr. Imus fail to understand is the fact that Haiti is a dangerous place under normal conditions and in the present state even worse. The government of Haiti is more corrupt and chaotic than the Karzai regime in Afghanistan, gangs rule the streets and the drug trade probably eclipses the total GNP of Haiti itself. The country is so fractured that UN Peace Keeping Forces have been deployed there six times since 1995 with increases in the size of the forces each time they are needed. The other fact that people like the two esteemed mentioned above have a difficulty understanding is that it takes time to mobilize relief efforts for a disaster the size a scope of the one in Haiti. To Mr. Gregory, you can bag this one Dickie your out of your league with your stupid comments. There is one bright spot for Mr. Gregory, there have been several other douche bags who have piped up since the earthquake and have also received harsh comments for their lame assessments of how and why this took place and the reasons we are providing aid, in other words, he's in good company.

What it all boils down to is this, Americans have always railed to the aid of those less fortunate themselves be it natural disasters or wars. I'm just guessing but I would say that we will continue to do this for the foreseeable future and will probably continue to be maligned as we have in the past and present.

After being outed as just another crooked hack politician, Senator Dodd decides to cash in and retire, knowing he couldn't get elected dog catcher.

In what should have been an illustrious career as a US Senator, Christopher Dodd is being forced to retire since he and his people have more than likely run the numbers a million times or more only to have them show that he hasn't got a chance of being elected dog catcher in his home town let alone re-elected to the US Senate. In the last year there were just too many issues that surfaced that even the deaf, dumb and blind (that's a euphemism for the Idiot's) in his home state of Connecticut that had voted him into office six consecutive times couldn't overlook any longer.

The sweetheart mortgage deal he got from the then Chairman of Bank of America, I think it was called a 'friends of Angelo' loan or something like that, where regardless of credit or income there was no better deal which meant he owed some kind of special favor to the Bank. Then there was his involvement with Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae disasters and the 'pushing' of the sub prime loans that sunk these two institutions which the government continues to pump taxpayer money into as fast as the red ink continues to run out the other side. Why, he stood side by side with Representative Barney Frank, a man of equally low repute, while the two of them spouted off like a couple of North Atlantic Right Whales shooting steam out of their blow holes trying to convince the American people that there was no impropriety going on during their watch, America watched, America listened and America decided they were both liars.

Sadly the soon to be former Senator from Connecticut will probably get away with any and all wrong doing and go on to some consulting job courtesy of his friends in Washington and there abouts. The only consolation that we have as regular citizens is that he knows that we know that he sold his office, his reputation has been sullied and for people with ego's as large as Senators that's crushing.
