Tonight's speech

State of the Union

By Neal Boortz

Tonight Caesar Obammus will don his toga and stride into the House Chambers to deliver his State of the Union address. What is the purpose of the State of the Union? It is to report on the condition of the nation and outline the president’s legislative agenda.

Don’t expect to get a report on the status of the nation, because to do so would mean that Obama would have to showcase his failures as president. Even his own former chief of staff Rahm Emanuel says that he should not focus on his first term, but if he does, he should remind everyone that he inherited a mess.

If Obama won’t tell us the true state of our economy – and we know the ObamaMedia sure as hell wont – we have to leave it up to people like Joseph Curl in the Washington Times to give us the real facts of the ObamaEconomy. Here are a few …

The unemployment rate when Obama was elected was 6.8%; today it is 8.5% … and that is not considering the fact that 3 million fewer Americans are seeking work compared to 2007.

There are now fewer payroll jobs than there were in 2000 and now, 40% of those jobs are considered “low paying.”

Regular gasoline per gallon cost $1.68 in January 2009. Today, it’s $3.39 — that’s a 102% increase in just three years.

Electricity bills have also skyrocketed, with households now paying a record $1,420 annually on average, up some $300.

Since December 2008, food-stamp use has increased 46%.

Nearly 20% of males age 25 to 34 now live with their parents.

America’s annual budget has jumped to $3.8 trillion — and yet the United States brings in only about $2.1 trillion in revenue.

America’s total public debt stands at $15.23 trillion; in January 2009, the debt was $10.62 trillion.

Obama is on pace to borrow $6.2 trillion in just one term — more debt than was amassed by all presidents from Washington through Bill Clinton combined.

The debt is rising by $4.2 billion every day — $175 million per hour, nearly $3 million per minute.


Barack Obama is like a cancer.
This country can still be saved, but only if the cancer is
isolated and removed, before doing any more damage.

You created a fantasy situation to defend your ruler... brilliant!

LOL Formerman! You avoid the facts like you avoid the company of women.

Projecting your twisted values again... whatever.

Why can't you ever address the subject?

Don't you want to gush over all of your rulers success stories
and how much better things are since his rule began?

Ignoring Formerman will just hurt his feelings

Listening to this speech... it's clear that Obama is overacting and not speaking from his heart.

Obama is just reading a script poorly and he's failing at showing any real passion for the USA.

What a huge waste of time this president is.

You have set a date to off yourself?

Obama needs to accept the fact that this is a country of the haves and the soon to haves.

Obama thinks it's fair for he and his ilk to be the haves making the citizens the have not.
