The President tried and failed to snow the public

So what was the result of the President's SOTU speech? The majority of the public didn't believe a word he said. From Rasmussen:

Fifty-three percent of Americans do not believe that Obama has cut taxes
Fifty percent do not believe that the economy is growing
Fifty-one percent do not believe that the government has "saved or created" two million jobs

And it isn't just those evil mob mentality Republicans who think that Obama needs to lay off eating the beans, independents think that he sucks, too.  In the mean time, Obama believes that the public just doesn't have mental acuity to grasp his enlightened agenda.  He is convinced that if he just keeps talking, and maybe if he talks sloooower we will suddenly the get the greatness of his being.  With all due respect to the President, the original Messiah was a much better communicator.

Fasten your seat belts friends, and get ready for a lot more talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, ....

I can't believe he said that

I can't find it anywhere in the transcript of last night's SOTU but I'm sure I heard Obama say, Resistance is futile.  It was right after he said that people are tired of all the partisanship and before he called Republicans obstructionists, the Supreme Court a bunch of right wing know nothings and me and you yahoos. 

The Emperor is tired of the unwashed masses whining, I need a job and I don't want to pay for the economy crushing Cap & Trade.  Nope, it doesn't matter that ObamaCare stinks and Global warming is a sham, the Emperor has spoken and we better by God get in line and do his bidding like good little simpletons.  None of that "leadership" crap for Barack Hussein Obama-he is here to dictate.

These are extraordinary and trying times, when things that must be done are hard, and too often tragically inherited. I know, I know, you’ve heard that one before. Ha ha ha! (Standing ovation, raucous cheers and laughter.) But seriously, we have just witnessed an extraordinary exercise in presidential oratorical animation that may be without peer or precedent. Can it be said that any American president has ever tried to blame so much on other people, or has been willing to so rapidly abandon his own principles for the betterment of his standing with the people, to seize up the banner against himself in our nation’s time of need, that this nation should not stand against him? For this, the president deserves our unabashed, gaga-eyed astonishment.

Wow, that’s really infectious. That meaningless important-sounding rhetoric thing, I mean.

It sucks when the best thing you can say about your president is that at least he's not John Edwards.

Want a concise and spot on summation of SOTU?

Cold Fury has it.

My two cents:  Long on rhetoric, not a drop of substance.
