When Obama's face appears on TV, we hit the last-channel and mute buttons simultaneously. All we know is everything he says is a lie and everything he does weakens America. I can read about the lies and concessions to our enemies after the fact.

THANKS to Bob From Virginia for his ultra brief, prescient summary of the STFU-SOTU….

It all left me pining for the days of Washington and his successors, when a single page letter was sent to Congress.

Brevity being the soul of sound governance, I guess.

And Bob, I’ve ripped off your post for my FB. Thanks again.

You know, as conservatives we can’t defeat the libs if we keep voting for losers who run on “conservative principles” then stab us in the back when in office.
I found it interesting that Haley dinged the Democrats and Obama for growing the national debt, yet a few weeks ago, when her friend Paul Ryan snuck thru the omnibus bill (which funds every bit of Obama’s destructive agenda for the next year) in the middle of the night, Haley had nothing whatsoever to say about it, crickets.
And now this morning she goes in front of the media to lie about her support for amnesty.

There are two different texts to the speech, there is a version in Spanish language that differs in that it offers a pledge of amnesty.
Read it and try to contain your anger!

JJ,

I hadn’t thought to compare the failed ‘sunshine’ nK deal with the Iran deal.

What has struck me about the Iran deal is that it incorporates the changes that Saddam’s advocates had called for to the UNSCR 687 “governing standard of Iraqi compliance” (UNSCR 1441) for disarmament.

Recall that the principal trigger for OIF was the UNMOVIC finding in the UNSCR 1441 inspections of “about 100 unresolved disarmament issues” in breach of UNSCR 687.

In that regard, Obama’s main justification for the Iran deal is that it avoids war (whether or not it reliably disarms Iran), which is an obvious indirect statement of ‘It’s either a compromised disarmament standard or war, and I’m right on Iran because Bush was wrong on Iraq’.

The obvious way to rebut the President’s justification for the Iran deal is to establish that Bush was right on Iraq, and as such, Iran should be held to a UNSCR 687-caliber disarmament standard. And the way for Iran to avoid war is to learn from Saddam’s fate by disarming to a UNSCR 687-caliber standard of compliance.

Isn’t odd that more people did not see that Obama’s speeches reflected delusions of grandeur rather than greatness in 2008? It is almost like the majority of people have a inherit need to believe crap! Did the relative indifference to the speech reflect saturation?

Texexec, I detest Obama twice as much as you, so there!

Bilwik….yes he did…Here’s what I said earlier in the comments section:

“I saw the last few minutes by accident because I wanted to hear Gov. Haley’s speech. I couldn’t help him reminding me of Il Duce with his chin up delivery. I almost expected him to put his hands on his hips and to see him wearing riding boots behind the podium.

I absolutely detest the man.”

Sorry I missed it. Did Il Dufe do the Mussolini chin tilt that he likes to do? You can have a fun drinking came where you imbibe some booze every time he does the chin tilt.

Would it be fair to accuse Obama as the most unpatriotic POTUS the country has had? It’s clear his verve is low and his eagerness to put the USA as “the country” is just “another job”, as if being POTUS was on his bucket list.

Please remember that The One had to be invited to address a joint session. He cannot just march in there. And that no one drags these sniveling anal-receptive twerps there to do obeisance.

When Clinton was being impeached I wrote to my GOP congressman asking why in the world they were offering him a stage when all that was mandated was that he make a report. Why enable the son of a bitch?

“Long Tradition, respect, blah blah blah.” These wimps would applaud at the rape of their mother if they could wear tinsel on their ears.

Life is short; it is really short after you pass your 80th birthday. Must use time wisely.

UVA beat #8 ranked Miami. Great game. (My wife forgot that POTUS-SOTU was taking place concurrently until I reminded her. She shrugged.)
