News Americas, NEW YORK,NY, Fri Jan. 23, 2015: Someone wake me up please … thank you! Let me begin …
Here you will get the true story of Rip Van Winkle … a President’s State of the Union speech put him so sound to sleep he did not wake up for 20 years!
I will not tell you his name to protect his reputation. Yes it was long before Barack Obama but have no doubt Obama is capable of the same feat. I had trouble waking up to write his week’s episode of Obama’s America.
Here you will also learn the REAL purpose of this speech about nothing.
The joke is, Obama has given the very same state of the union speech since his very first. Yea, ye,a yea; the words seem slightly different but it is the same speech and the same response year after year after year. It’s first big event of the annual DC Con Game the Political Elites throw at us.
The speech means nothing it accomplishes nothing but Official Washington come out in droves to be part of the show. If it’s a Democratic President, the Democrats in Congress cheer wildly and the Republicans sit there glum. If a Republican is President it’s just the same. Regardless, once or twice during the speech, both sides cheer together when the President says something about destroying our enemies, bombing Iran or building a bigger military.
And let’s not forget the Dancing Seals in the Major Media – they come out in big numbers for the nonsense. It is one of the truly big nights of the year for them. And after the speech – they go on and on and on for hours analyzing its “deeper” meaning for all of us, either from a professional Democratic or Republican perspective, depending on who they work for full time or are paid a big fee to be part of the show for the state of the union routine.
They find so much serious meaning in the Speech FOR THE CAMERAS before they finish and go out to party in the expensive DC restaurants and bars they inhabit deep into the dark night on their expense accounts.
And did you know that 30 Million Americans were glued to their TV’s watching President Obama’s comedy routine? Here is the problem ALL the TV networks show the Speech. WHY, when it is exactly the same camera feed on ALL of them and one would do just fine. They could rotate it from year to year like the SuperBowl. WHY? Because if they did that the audience would approximate ZERO. Most Americans would watch real shows any shows no matter how bad on the other networks but they can’t.
As far as 30 million Americans that is less than 10% of us REALLY watching that is a farce all Nielsen does is track which station a household in their sampling is tuned not if anyone is actually paying attention.
But the most hilarious aspect of the Speech is that the Republicans use it to make the beyond ridiculous claim that Obama is some kind of radical, revolutionary, far “worse” than Fidel Castro and use the Speech to prove it. That Obama wants to make the rich poor and take everything from them to give it away to lazy good for nothing poor people who abuse the system.
So now in this week’s episode it is the best part free comedy entertainment quoting directly from the text of this week’s Obama Speech of Speeches.
ARE YOU READY for some excerpts!!!
The question for everyone in this chamber, running through every decision we make this year, is whether we are going to help or hinder this progress. For several years now, this town has been consumed by a rancorous argument over the proper size of the federal government. It’s an important debate – one that dates back to our very founding. But when that debate prevents us from carrying out even the most basic functions of our democracy – when our differences shut down government or threaten the full faith and credit of the United States – then we are not doing right by the American people.”
“In the coming months, let’s see where else we can make progress together. Let’s make this a year of action. That’s what most Americans want – for all of us in this chamber to focus on their lives, their hopes, their aspirations. And what I believe unites the people of this nation, regardless of race or region or party, young or old, rich or poor, is the simple, profound belief in opportunity for all – the notion that if you work hard and take responsibility, you can get ahead.”
Bla, Bla, Bla.
“Today, after four years of economic growth, corporate profits and stock prices have rarely been higher, and those at the top have never done better. But average wages have barely budged. Inequality has deepened. Upward mobility has stalled. The cold, hard fact is that even in the midst of recovery, too many Americans are working more than ever just to get by – let alone get ahead. And too many still aren’t working at all.”
HELLO Barack, you’ve been President for 6 years and …
“Today, after four years of economic growth, corporate profits and stock prices have rarely been higher, and those at the top have never done better.”
Well WHOOPEE the rich are getting richer with you as President !
And at the same time for most of us HE SAYS IN THE SPEECH …
“average wages have barely budged. Inequality has deepened. Upward mobility has stalled. The cold, hard fact is that even in the midst of recovery, too many Americans are working more than ever just to get by – let alone get ahead. And too many still aren’t working at all.”
So aren’t we LUCKY having you as President Barack ???
So then he goes on to ..
“Our job is to reverse these trends. It won’t happen right away, and we won’t agree on everything. But what I offer tonight is a set of concrete, practical proposals to speed up growth, strengthen the middle class, and build new ladders of opportunity into the middle class.”
YOUR job Barack …. you’ve got just 2 years left ( thank God ) and after last November’s election and the terrible defeat the Democrats suffered, the Republicans have their biggest majority since before you were born and they now control both Houses of Congress but what’s your job …
:”what I offer tonight is a set of concrete, practical proposals to speed up growth, strengthen the middle class, and build new ladders of opportunity into the middle class.”
How you do that .. with a Republican Congress that has itself in a frenzy claiming you are out to destroy the country stealing from the “poor” rich ??
Of course what raises the level of comedy even “higher” to the point that it is ludicrous beyond belief is the trivial “changes” you propose that supposedly are going to change the lives of middle class and poor Americans bring them to the Promised Land of prosperity and good times.
Let’s take a look at those Big Ideas in your State of the Union Speech ..
First this Joke from Barack …
“Opportunity is who we are. And the defining project of our generation is to restore that promise.”
NOW for the Good Stuff …
“ The bottom line is, Michelle and I want every child to have the same chance this country gave us. But we know our opportunity agenda won’t be complete – and too many young people entering the workforce today will see the American Dream as an empty promise – unless we do more to make sure our economy honors the dignity of work, and hard work pays off for every single American.”
GOTHCHA .. Obama just could not resist telling AGAIN the “story” of poor Barack and Michelle growing up as disadvantage in Hawaii and Chicago and going to the best schools and then on to Harvard and Princeton and after that very attractive jobs suffering every step of the way.
IF Barack and Michelle could make it everyone can !!! Yes you.
I am inspired. How about you. What a Speech !
Sorry I do want to include some of Obama’s BIG proposals ..
“Let’s do more to help Americans save for retirement. Today, most workers don’t have a pension. A Social Security check often isn’t enough on its own. And while the stock market has doubled over the last five years, that doesn’t help folks who don’t have 401ks.”
Another example of Obama’s SUCCESS these last 6 years…
So what is he going to do now as Lame Duck President with a Congress CONTROLLED by Republicans ..
“That’s why, tomorrow, I will direct the Treasury to create a new way for working Americans to start their own retirement savings: MyRA. It’s a new savings bond that encourages folks to build a nest egg. MyRA guarantees a decent return with no risk of losing what you put in. And if this Congress wants to help, work with me to fix an upside-down tax code that gives big tax breaks to help the wealthy save, but does little to nothing for middle-class Americans. Offer every American access to an automatic IRA on the job, so they can save at work just like everyone in this chamber can.”
WOW isn’t that going to change your life and solve the PROBLEM ..
“Today, most workers don’t have a pension. A Social Security check often isn’t enough on its own. And while the stock market has doubled over the last five years, that doesn’t help folks who don’t have 401ks.”
That’s right Obama wants to …
“Offer every American access to an automatic IRA on the job, so they can save at work just like everyone in this chamber can.”
My President the problem here is the rest of us don’t make $175,000 a year and a load of fabulous benefits like “everyone in this chamber.”
Guess you don’t you are in your State of the Union BUBBLE tonight …
Then Barack added standing there in the Capital ..…
“One last point on financial security. For decades, few things exposed hard-working families to economic hardship more than a broken health care system. And in case you haven’t heard, we’re in the process of fixing that ….. That’s what health insurance reform is all about – the peace of mind that if misfortune strikes, you don’t have to lose everything.”
He could NOT resist .. more mumbo jumbo about Obamacare ..
SORRY Obama goes on and on and on about EVERYTHING ..
I will spare you Dear Readers it is too painful a burden to bear ..
Let me end with President Obama’s ending and a “good” laugh ..
“Sometimes we stumble; we make mistakes; we get frustrated or discouraged. But for more than two hundred years, we have put those things aside and placed our collective shoulder to the wheel of progress – to create and build and expand the possibilities of individual achievement; to free other nations from tyranny and fear; to promote justice, and fairness, and equality under the law, so that the words set to paper by our founders are made real for every citizen ….. if we work together; if we summon what is best in us, with our feet planted firmly in today but our eyes cast towards tomorrow – I know it’s within our reach. Believe it.”
I can’t take any more Barack! LET ME OUT OF HERE right now, please!
