keep your friends close but your enemies closer

Looks like Obama is about to deliver another State of the Union address. Well, he'll have to deliver it to his robot fanboys in the Democratic States of America cause I'd rather have root canal than listen to him. Its really depressing. You know our country is so broke it cant even deliver our mail on Saturday? But it isn't too broke to give Egyptian Brotherhood Islamists who would saw off our heads with dull butter knives if given the opportunity, multi million dollar tanks and F-16 fighter planes. I'll tell you this country is in a big mess and no one seems to notice or care. Sick.

People care.  But they have been deceived by the MSM into thinking that only Obama can make it better.  They want the person who created the mess to make it better by doing the same thing that created the mess.

Any wonder they are insane?

which part of 'america' are you speaking of?  North or South?      (hehe......I had to!)

 

 

Anyway, yes the US is seemingly in dire straits and while things aren't as bad up here (in the other part of north America) I suspect not having the volume of people as you have south of the border is probably a huge contributing factor.  That and the fact the our banks were never as liberal with their 'loans' as yours etc.

I'm not sure either political party in the US has a firm grasp on reality though (I have some family in the US and they often can't seem to decide who or which side is worse from day to day).  Maybe it's time for the US to really make moves to change from what is essentially a 2-party system.  Maybe that would allow for more voice from 'the people'?

    Keep that thought, and realize the value of your input and action in getting the country on track. We, the millions who voted against this divisive and misled smooth talker, need to work hard at getting one or two people from the other side to wake up in the next couple of years. We need to tie Obama and Company's hands up real good in the upcoming senate and house midterms elections. We nearly did it last November. Let's get focused on who we can win over to our cause now, not later.

 Go man go.

Morning Bell: Obama’s Bogus State of the Union Promises

Tonight, the American people will be watching President Obama’s fifth State of the Union address. How has he done on his promises over the past four years?

Take a look at some of the promises Obama made back in 2009 during his first State of the Union.

“I pledged to cut the deficit in half by the end of my first term in office.”

During his first State of the Union, newly inaugurated President Obama vowed to cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term. Instead, Obama has averaged deficits nearly three times that of his predecessor.

For those who were concerned with President George W. Bush’s $4 trillion national debt, this pledge may have seemed like the “hope and change” the American people voted for in 2008. However, the reality of America’s additional debt over the past four years under the Obama Administration is staggering—almost $6 trillion in four years, on track to triple the amount Bush accumulated over his eight years as President. Now that Obama is heading into his second term, we’ve seen quite a change from the Barack Obama who thought $4 trillion in debt was “irresponsible” and “unpatriotic.”

“Over the next two years, this [stimulus] plan will save or create 3.5 million jobs.”

The President promised great things from the stimulus plan, but as Heritage’s J.D. Foster has said, we have to look at his record. He may have promised 3.5 million new jobs, but he’s 7.7 million jobs in the hole instead.

“…we must have quality, affordable health care for every American. It’s a commitment that’s paid for in part by efficiencies in our system that are long overdue.”

President Obama’s promise that Obamacare would provide health insurance for every American has been proven false. According to the Congressional Budget Office, 30 million Americans are projected to remain uninsured even after Obamacare is fully implemented.

The idea that Obamacare would improve the “efficiencies” of the health care system is laughable. Obama’s plan for “efficiencies” in the system was just slashing Medicare provider reimbursement rates to the tune of $716 billion to help pay for Obamacare. The mammoth law is going to take 127 million hours of paperwork per year for Americans to comply with it. And Members of Congress are already walking back their support for the law—they are grumbling about several parts of it and even repealed one part in the fiscal cliff deal.

“We will invest $15 billion a year to develop technologies like wind power and solar power; advanced biofuels, clean coal, and more fuel-efficient cars and trucks built right here in America.”

When President Obama starts talking about “investing” taxpayer money, beware. Successful companies do not need taxpayer investment. The now-infamous energy company Solyndra is the most popular example of “investing” in energy companies gone wrong. The government subsidies to the green energy company lost the American taxpayers $627 million. While Solyndra is the most famous green failure, Heritage has exposed 19 taxpayer-funded failures in the Green Graveyard series. According to Heritage research, the government “invested” $2.6 billion in companies that then went bankrupt.

We have a massive federal deficit and millions of missing jobs. Obamacare is a bureaucratic nightmare that isn’t helping people get health care. The President’s “investments” have flushed taxpayers’ hard-earned money down the toilet.

We can only imagine…what will he promise tonight?
