It took three shots of Jack Daniels but I did it. (I'm having the fourth now as I write.) I forced myself to sit through the latest presidential disbursement of baloney with a side order of cold slaw. Every time my pretty wife walked by she glared at me for filling our happy home with the voice of evil. If looks could kill, I would be dead a half a dozen times by now. This speech felt like it went on for an eternity.
I've never watched a whole Obama speech before and don't plan to do so again. Why did I do it? I wanted to see for myself how far he would go in what I pray to God is really his last State of the Union Speech.
My argument against it starts here; we are not unified as a country, or as a people. For him to paint a picture of possibilities that will never happen as long as good and evil are at war on earth, is the typical propaganda I've come to expect. His pie in the sky fantasy visions are to honor him and not to address reality. I think he was throwing out cleverly worded lines hoping for at least one quote to follow him through history. Obviously, hope and change are already long forgotten.
He misses the point that for a quote to follow him through history, he must have done something first to show sincerity in the meaning of it. He dared mention Martin Luther King Jr in a way that suggested alignment with him. I have a feeling MLKJ is rolling in his grave. POTUS's words are empty propaganda affecting only those with their heads up their own or his behind. MLKJ's vision was based on a real hope he carried in his heart. Obama's hope is as self centered, shallow and unreal as a pixie riding on a unicorn while sprinkling magic dust on the unsuspecting fools in his path.
I say, State of the Union, what Union? We have never been more divided in more ways than we are now and we can thank the POTUS Obama. If any union comes to reality in the future it will be in spite of him, not because of him. As long as good will not stand next to or in support of evil, we will remain divided and in this case, that is a very good thing.
I won't bother to go into the myriad of other issues I had with this speech. I don't know if it is the Jack Daniels or the long term exposure to the sound of his voice, but something tells me to get over it, get on with it and get in bed and forget about it. That's where I'm heading, that is if my wife will let me in there with her.
