It sucks! 

And Obama proposed a dozen programs guaranteed to complete his mission of bankrupting the country.

And then he lied about his plans saying, they "won’t add a single dime to the deficit."

Although, to be fair, spending trillions of dollars is technically not spending "a single dime."

Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer blasted the content of Barack Obama’s State of the Union address on Fox News Monday, saying it was about "spending your way to prosperity." He labeled the speech as somewhat self-serving as Obama tries to establish his "legacy."
 
That being said, Krauthammer admitted it was "a very effective address" in a political sense. Obama painted Republicans as the party that protects the rich and tax loopholes and framed himself as the protector of the middle class.
 
Meanwhile, red-state Democrats may find themselves between a rock and a hard place during Obama’s second term due to gun control, he explained.
 
"One of the things that these red-state Democrats who are going to go up for re-election in the next year are scared to death about is precisely having to vote. And here was Obama saying over and over again, ‘You deserve a vote. You want to be on the record,’" Krauthammer said. "Well, there are a lot Democrats who don’t want to be on the record on all of these issues, and I think he will endanger them."
 
Ultimately, Obama wants to be "remembered for a man who changed America" and will spend as much taxpayer money as it takes.
 
"I think he’s looking for his legacy," he added. "He wants to be remembered for a man who changed America -- that’s what he said. He started with Obamacare, and now this litany of programs. You know, he says,’ You can’t cut your way to prosperity.’ This speech is about spending your way to prosperity."

Obama discovers money growing on trees
 
Keith Koffler says that on Monday, Barack Obama discovered money growing on trees on the South Lawn of the White House, a startling development that allowed him to propose government initiative after government initiative during his State of the Union address even as the nation heads toward piling up $17 trillion in debt.
 
"It's incredible," said a tearful Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.). "The White House informed us just this morning. Money really does grow on trees. Now we can spend it forever."

A senior White House official said Obama was on his daily walk across the South Lawn Monday morning searching for four leaf clovers when he discovered money growing on several ancient magnolia trees. The trees had been planted by Woodrow Wilson, who is credited by some with launching the modern welfare state. Now, the trees have finally borne fruit.
 
White House aides said the discovery that money grows on trees is at the root, so to speak, of Obama decision to include in the State of the Union a litany of new government programs while outlining hardly any specific ideas about how to cut spending.
 
The trees sprout $100,000 bills, which coincidentally include a portrait of President Wilson. White House economic advisers were seen by tourists picking currency all day Monday and Tuesday. Bills magically grew back on branches within seconds of being plucked.
 
A tourist who jumped the White House gate offering to "help out" was run down by a Secret Service-trained German Shepherd and taken away in handcuffs.
 
White House National Economic Council Director Gene Sperling was taken to George Washington University Hospital after taking a fall off a ladder while trying to reach one of the higher branches. "We're still going to raise taxes," he mumbled as he was placed into an ambulance. Sperling suffered only a bruised ego and was expected to make a full recovery.
 
Spurred by his historic horticultural discovery, Obama in his speech offered up all manner of new fiscal commitments.
 
He proposed public-private "manufacturing hubs;" an "Energy Security Trust that will drive new research and technology to shift our cars and trucks off oil for good;" funding for research on cleaner-burning natural gas; federal support for energy efficient buildings; massive infrastructure spending; money for preschool education for every child in America; funding for high schools that focus on science and math; spending on scientific research; funding to rebuild vacant homes in rundown neighborhoods; "resources" for publics safety, eduction and housing in struggling communities; and tax credits for businesses that hire there.
 
And those are just the proposals that made it into the speech.
 
"Most Americans -- Democrats, Republicans, and Independents," Obama said, "understand that we can't just cut our way to prosperity."
 
Internal polling by White House political aides identified these same Americans as the ones who believe that money grow on trees.
 
Turns out they were right.

Since every speech Obama gives is about him let's call the State of the Union what it really is...

Did you notice the urn?

A Castro-like speech in English

Mark Levin weighed in on Barack Obama's State of the Union Address tonight on Hannity. "A Castro-like speech, albeit in English. Why do you have to keep lying to the American people. Lie after lie after lie."

Cross-posted in Obama is a big, fat liar.

It's really tragic. Obama just lies and lies -- and not a word is spoken by the compliant ObamaMedia.

Jefferson once put it, "free press" is not primarily about freedom of expression, it is about maintaining the proper "basis of America government":

The basis of our government being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.

The purpose of a "free press," in other words, was not simply for the press to report whatever they felt like. The free press was only free if they reported news and events in such a way that their work guaranteed that the "opinion of the people" would remain "the basis of our government" -- of American government.

Hypocrisy alert!  The above was published by the Huffington Post in an article critical of george W. Bush.
