Barack Obama: Empty Suit
On the day before Obama gives his annual State of the Union address, this may well be the meanest commercial I’ve ever seen about him (not that I’m complaining): Hat tip: PowerLine

State of the Union Open Thread
I can’t make myself listen to Obama. He hectors and I don’t need that in my life. I’ll read the speech, and the multiple analyses of the speech, tomorrow. Until then, I’d love to hear what you have to say about it — or what you have to say about
Continue readingNo, you weren’t imagining the strident class warfare in Obama’s SOTU speech.
We tend to find what we’re looking for. Since conservatives know that Obama comes from a socialist background, has advanced policies that are antithetical to capitalism, and has defeated opportunities and initiatives that are supportive of capitalism, we’re going to assume that, in any speech he gives, ordinary statements are

Clark S. Judge sent to Hugh Hewitt a great note analyzing what Obama really said during the SOTU. I’m going to do something here that I almost never do, which is to reprint the note in its entirety at my own blog, albeit reformatted from the original. Why? Because the

We can expect tomorrow night’s State of the Union address to be an action-packed hour (or so) of vitriol and self-pity. Obama will cherry-pick a few numbers about the 1% and then whine about how he’s been trying really hard to destroy that same 1%, but that a vast array

Preparing and eating dinner took precedence of the President’s first State of the Union speech, so I didn’t watch it in real time. Indeed, because I find Obama’s presentation dull (he has the cadences of a slightly defective metronome), I haven’t listened to it at all, but I have read
