I am done with watching speeches. I am done with the State of the Union and I am done with the media in general. The whole fucking thing is a joke. Michelle Bachman makes what has to be the craziest most god awful speech ever and CNN does hard analysis of the damn thing!!! Paul Ryan has a long track record of proposals for deficit reduction that are pretty radical, but we get to hear morons on TV tell us that he offered very little in the way of hard proposals, that is because he has already told us exactly what he would do, you fucking idiots!!! Wolf Blitzer is a moron.
Now we come to the big speech of the night, the State of the mother fucking Union. Yee Haw!! Corporate profits are up!! Why ain't they hiring, Mr President? The Greatest thing you can do for your country is become a teacher, too bad we aren't providing the funding for schools so you won't be able to get a job as a teacher. Afghanistan, Mr President, that country is a mess and will always be a mess, we need to just end the occupation and bring our troops home. 100,000 troops remain in Iraq, time to bring them home. Trains, Mr President you proposed a spending freeze, how will we build these high speed rails you speak of?
State of the Union speeches are all full of optimism and bullshit. It really irks me when I see our side shovel the shit the same way the Republicans did under Bush.
Jobs, Mr President, Jobs. Bill Clinton was a triangulating fool, but he had a great economy, low unemployment and cheap gas. You have none of those things, Mr President, so you can't triangulate your way to victory in 2012. You need to create jobs, which means you need to spend money, which means all your bluster about spending freezes is stupid. BTW, it is stupid to allow your political opponent to dictate the terms of your speech. You didn't need to cave on the spending freeze without getting something in return, but there you go again giving in before you even have the fight. Sad and stupid.
